ITM Universal Grinders
Tooling and cutter manufacturers realize that having flexibility in a single grinding machine is important, but not at the expense of sacrificing efficiency.
Making accurate cutters and precise tooling on a universal CNC (computer numerical control) grinder requires a single machine capable of producing workpieces of varying sizes and geometry. To achieve this, the grinder must be able to place several different wheels in the grinding position, ensuring that the most appropriate wheel is available for each operation. The challenge is to design a machine that can handle multiple grinding wheels without compromising accuracy or efficiency. Most grinders of this type have attempted to meet this challenge by using wheel packs or indexing wheel heads.
