These computer numerically controlled (CNC) machines are designed to remove large amounts of material in a short period of time. These machines can be configured to machine flat parts off of a table fixture with a horizontal spindle wheelhead or round, cylindrically shaped parts either between work centers or chucked in a workhead holding device.

These machines can utilize either pre-shaped vitrified CBN (cubic boron nitride) grinding wheels or dressable grinding wheels.

The process for this machine is to remove metal utilizing high RPM wheel speeds and full profile depths of cutting with very high pressure coolant precisely directed into the grinding zone.

The result of this process is to remove large amounts of material with quick cycle times in difficult to machine materials, oftentimes eliminating milling and turning operations. All after the workpiece has been heat treated.

This type of machine is most suited for dedicated, high volume workpiece lot sizes or similar workpiece family configurations.
