Returning to the essence of grinding and implementing intelligent manufacturing

In the current global manufacturing industry facing multiple challenges, EMO exhibition has become an important platform for industry innovation exchange and ecological collaboration. Joint Grinding, accompanied by heavyweight brands such as BLOHM, M Ä GERLE, STUDER, WALTER, etc., made its debut, showcasing complete solutions for three major technical areas: flat and forming grinding, inner and outer circle grinding, and tool grinding.

01 Plane and Forming Grinding

Dual breakthrough of high precision and flexibility

Joint grinding of flat surfaces and forming grinding brings multiple heavyweight products. One of the highlights is that BLOHM's latest research and development of the PLANOMAT XM grinding machine has revealed its mysterious veil in the expectations of its customers. With high-precision grinding and stable consistency as the core, combined with intelligent operation software, it is suitable for efficient processing of molds, tools, and complex components, with high availability and long life cycle service support.

　　
Another eye-catching product is the BLOHM MC7 grinding machine. Its compact bed design and powerful processing flexibility make it suitable for a wide range of application platform solutions, as well as efficient process development using CAD/CAM.

　　
Equally noteworthy is the M Ä GERLE MFP 30 compact five axis grinding center, which demonstrates its strong ability to handle complex part processing with its excellent flexibility and intelligence advantages. It has a high-performance spindle and strong driving power, and can flexibly combine multiple grinding processes; Combined with a 24 position automatic grinding wheel replacement device and an efficient cooling system, it has achieved complete machining of complex geometric workpieces in one clamping, significantly improving machining efficiency. MFP 30 is particularly suitable for high-precision machining of blades or heat shields in aviation turbines, as well as for machining ceramic composite based CMC and silicon carbide SIC materials, making it an ideal solution in the manufacturing field.

02 Internal and External Grinding

<<Innovative Technology Guidelines: New Trends in Precision Machining>>

Another highlight of joint grinding at this EMO exhibition is the global debut of STUDER's new S23 universal internal and external cylindrical grinding machine. Compact design, equipped with advanced grinding technology, can achieve high-precision and high reliability grinding processing. Equipped with modern C.O.R.E. hardware and software architecture, automatic B-axis with 1 ° indexing end gear positioning (capable of installing up to three grinding spindles), and Granitan with excellent thermal stability and vibration resistance ® Artificial granite bed frame. With high-quality configuration, S23 improves and refines the product portfolio between the STUDER product series.

　　
In addition, the new generation of favoritCNC from STUDER has also attracted much attention. This entry-level grinder is equipped with the latest software and hardware systems, featuring an advanced FANUC 0i TFP CNC system, a brand new automatic operation door and loader interface for automation solutions, a resource-saving belt spindle system, and an enlarged bed body X-axis gauge, further enhancing the overall rigidity and grinding stability of the grinder. In addition, the new manual mode helps operators transition from traditional grinders to CNC grinders.

　　
On the S31 universal internal and external cylindrical grinding machine suitable for small to large workpieces, STUDER showcased an innovative shaft system, setting a new benchmark for automated precision internal and external cylindrical grinding. The ultra long W-axis can automatically adjust the tailstock position to adapt to workpieces of different lengths, and the active R-axis equipped with an online measurement system can accurately scan complex geometric shapes on workpieces.

The uniqueness of this system lies in its ability to directly measure clamping force, which is crucial for ensuring the stability and repeatability of the workpiece during the machining process. The clamping force data will be displayed in real-time on the control screen for easy viewing by the operator.

　　
Another technological breakthrough is WireDress ®， Non contact dressing system for internal grinding. This technology is based on the principle of electrical discharge machining, which enables diamond grinding wheels and CBN grinding wheels using metal binders to produce completely new geometric shapes. Thanks to the new internal grinding spindle, it can achieve efficient power output at full speed.

03 Tool Grinding

<<Comprehensive display of efficiency, flexibility, and automation>>

At this EMO exhibition, WALTER showcased the complete ecosystem of tool processing and measurement to its customers.

In the field of tool grinding, WALTER showcased its comprehensive product line layout: HELITRONIC VISION LASER provides innovative solutions for high-precision laser processing of welding tools; HELITRONIC RAPTOR DIAMOND has set a new safety standard for electrochemical machining with its integrated Fire Stop&Go fire suppression system; Targeting different levels of user needs, HELITRONIC RAPID is an ideal entry-level choice that can efficiently complete the grinding and regrinding of small and medium diameter rotational symmetric tools in one clamping. HELITRONIC MINI PLUS further enhances the flexibility and accuracy of small and medium diameter tool processing through laser contour detection options.

　　
In terms of precision measurement, the WALTER HELICHECK series performs excellently. HELICHECK NANO specializes in precision inspection of micro and nano level cutting tools, meeting the high precision measurement requirements; As a universal measuring machine, HELICHECK PLUS provides a wider range of applicability and powerful detection capabilities, ensuring quality control throughout the entire tool manufacturing process.

To achieve true intelligent production, WALTER has launched an Automated Tool Production (ATP) solution. The system integrates grinding machines, electrolysis equipment, and measuring machines through networking, and is equipped with ATP ROBOCELL automatic loading and unloading units and autonomous mobile robot ATP AMR to construct an efficient and coherent unmanned production unit, significantly improving overall production efficiency and process reliability.
