THE R Series Rack Grinding Machines (G Line)

Grinding

The S98 grinding head delivers maximum power across the full 127 mm maximum width of the grinding surface. With an integrated and automatic balancing unit the S98 is not only hugely powerful but maintains absolute precision at all times.
The new compact design has been engineered to minimise maintenance requirements whilst increasing positioning accuracy.

The air-cooled dressing spindle on the S98 achieves a reduced energy consumption during dressing whilst maintaining its market-leading precision. With grinding wheels up to a maximum width of 127 mm and 400 mm in diameter, the R Series delivers high-productivity whilst maximising the wheel’s usable diameter.

X2T Twin-Table System

As well as the conventional, single table setup, the R-Series is also available with the world-first X2T twin-table system. The X2T comprises of 2 tables, each of which is capable of holding racks half the length of the machine’s maximum capability. This system allows one table to be machined whilst concurrently the second table is loaded / unloaded. The result is up to 2.7 times more productivity! And should the machine’s maximum grinding length be required, the tables can be coupled in under 3 minutes for ultimate manufacturing flexibility.

B-Axis

Available as either a manual or fully automated axis, the R Series has a B-axis range of +/- 25°, allowing it to grind the full range of helical racks.

Coolant & Filtration Management

The intelligent coolant management system supplied with the R Series machines is fully automated to increase operation efficiency. Coolant volumes and pressures are continually monitored and maintained via the coolant unit’s control system which is fully integrated into the grinding machine’s operating architecture.
More complex coolant applications, such as volume and pressure changes during roughing and finish grinding can be easily programmed.

Automation

All models within the R-Series can be supplied with fully automated load / unload cells in order to allow frictionless machine operation with minimal operator influence. With an integrated cleaning system and magazine bays for easy and fast material access the R-Series automation is the perfect solution for maximising ROI.
