Smaller than competing machines in size and horsepower and tooled up with cheaper grinding wheels yet achieves a level of autonomous intelligent operation and efficiency never before achieved on a centerless grinder.
Like the GT-610 CNC, the GT-610 SD weighs approximately 8,000 pounds and is built on a mineral cast base for rigidity, thermal and vibration stability.
The super high rigidity roller guides carry the work rest blade on one axis and the regulating wheel on an independent second axis. Both are precision ground surfaces and maintain a resolution of 0.1 microns. The high-speed, high-performance multi-axis controller ensures that diameter control is maintained.
A 15HP motor drives the 10" (254 mm) diameter x 8-5/8" (219 mm) wide grinding wheel mounted on a twin-grip super precision spindle. With a variable speed vector drive, the machine maintains constant surface speed as the work wheel wears, ensuring repeatable and efficient grinding performance. The workhead assembly design allows a single operator to replace the grinding wheel in under 15 minutes.
The machine control detects loading on the grinding wheel and initiates the dressing cycle to maintain efficient grinding.
Where this machine shines is in the control software, which is entirely developed at Glebar and customizable to address your application and your process. The intuitive touch screen interface allows all movable axes of the machine and peripherals to be programmed for an efficient, short cycle.The controller can also interface with a gantry system for efficiency. A laser micrometer can also be integrated to directly feedback part diameters for automatic size compensation.
A built-in automatic wheel balancing system dynamically adjusts and eliminates wheel vibration, producing superior surface finishes and improved wheel life.
To provide a completely hands-off system, this machine incorporates a 6-axis robot, which picks a part from a pallet, places it in a high accuracy optical gauge, measures the component in three places, and then the machine determines what to do next to reach its target diameter. It then proceeds to grind, clean and dry the part. OPC interfacing to supervisory plant controls is also available to gather production data and track maintenance and critical operational statistics.
This is done by using EtherCAT® by and large the fastest industrial Ethernet technology. This machine can also interface with Glebar Advanced Analytics, our new cloud-based solution that allows operators and managers to remotely receive actionable real-time analytics on easy-to-read dashboards; reduce downtime. boost capacity, increase your availability and more.
The P4K can serve as a closed-loop quality control device that feeds back diameter to the control system for automatic size compensation.
Available metrology device (P4K) which can serve as a closed-loop quality control device that feeds back diameter to the control system for automatic size compensation
Designed to part specifications and integrated with machine controls. Custom feeding is available built to part specification.
Built specific to the part, Glebar offers a variety of conveyors which move parts through the process seamlessly and quickly.
Built specific for the part, the gantry picks and places parts in the grind zone in one motion.
Uses a formed template to dress shallow shapes into the regulating wheel.
Diameter contact gauge mounted on exit side of the machine measures the ground part. Diameters at several points can be measured, used for size compensation, and compared against high and low user-defined limits. Contact measurement is unaffected by coolant.
Collects and removes debri and dust from the work area.
Comes with arbor, flange with four weights and stand. Balanced grinding wheels are critical for high precision parts.
A built-in automatic wheel balancing system dynamically adjusts and eliminates wheel vibration, producing superior surface finishes and improved wheel life.
Integrated acoustic emissions system for ease of setup.
Post grinding and cleaning, the data is collected, analyzed and fed back to the machine for automatic size compensation. Measurements are shown on a trend graph on the machine control.
Built specific for the part; integrated into the cell.
Post grinding, system is integrated into the cell to pressure clean parts.
For rapid changeover from one set of part holding grippers to a different set (i.e. 8 station to 5 station). The entire gripper assembly is easily disconnected, lifted out of the keyed mount, and then dropped into the next mount and reconnected.
Automatically picks parts from trays, loads into machine, unloads and places back to parts tray. Fully guarded and interlocked access doors. Robot arm incorporates two grippers for staging the loading and unloading during the grind cycle, reducing idle time.
