3-Axis Travel (457x229x178mm) and Table Size (356x711mm)

The machine's work envelope determines your maximum part capacity. The 457mm X-axis and 229mm Y-axis travels are ideally sized for standard progressive die plates and medium-to-large mold bases. The 356x711mm table offers ample surface area for secure clamping and fixturing. Additionally, the 178mm Z-axis travel allows for deep hole grinding and complex internal contouring in a single setup, ensuring strict geometric tolerances and streamlined production.

Table Load Capacity (454 kg)

For heavy-duty applications like automotive tooling and aerospace manufacturing, workpiece mass is a critical factor. Supporting up to 454 kg (approximately 1,000 lbs), this machine easily handles solid tool steel blocks and heavy cast iron fixtures without guideway deflection. This robust load capacity guarantees consistent grinding precision, even when processing heavy, oversized workpieces.

Spindle Nose to Table Distance (432 mm)

The 432mm maximum clearance between the spindle nose and table offers exceptional vertical flexibility. This clearance is essential when utilizing tall rotary tables, indexing heads, or grinding exceptionally thick die shoes. It accommodates complex, multi-axis setups without the risk of spindle housing interference.

Spindle Dynamics: MT4 Taper, 100-2500 rpm, 1.5 kW Motor

The spindle is the core of any jig grinder's performance. The Morse Taper No. 4 (MT4) ensures a highly rigid connection for grinding arbors, minimizing runout and vibration. Powered by a 1.5 kW motor, the spindle maintains consistent torque across the 100 to 2500 rpm range. Lower speeds provide the torque needed for larger diameter wheels and heavy stock removal, while higher speeds deliver superior surface finishes on hardened materials, preventing thermal damage to critical features.
