The Glebar PG-912DG Enclosed Centerless Form Grinder uses a 12″ wide work wheel and servo motors to reduce setup times, increase throughput, and maintain tighter tolerances. The enclosed design features a simple touchscreen HMI, remote connectivity, and data collection. Combined, these functions help increase uptime and produce higher-quality parts, which every manufacturer strives to achieve. Common applications include ceramic spools, carbide pins, deodorant balls, golf balls, pen nibs, drumsticks, composite spindles, contact lens blanks, check valves, frac balls, fuses, insulators, and many more.
Key Features
- 12″ wide work wheel allows manufacturers to grind more parts per cycle. In testing, throughput increased by as much as 30%.
- Interlocks prevent opening the enclosure while the grinder is running.
- Servo motors automatically adjust the oscillating regulating wheel to the pre-programmed position, reducing setup time.
- Precise positioning maintains tight tolerances and improves sphericity. In testing, a Cpk two times greater than the existing process was achieved.
- The thick granite machine bed provides enhanced rigidity, as well as thermal and vibratory stability, maintaining a high-quality part.
- The machine software interface was developed to allow an unskilled operator to run multiple high precision machines simultaneously.
- Automated feeding systems can be integrated at the top or side of the machine depending on the application.
