Form Grinding Applications
Centerless Form Grinding Machines for Balls, Spheres, and Cylindrical Components.
TF-9DHD Infeed/Throughfeed Centerless Grinder
The TF-9DHD Infeed/Throughfeed Centerless Grinder uses computer controls to grind both hard and soft materials including catheters, medical guidewires, and spinal cord stimulators. Inside the compact footprint is a 15HP main spindle motor powering an 8.625” wide work wheel combining to remove more material faster, and with better surface finishes, than similar machines with narrower grinding wheels. The TF-9DHD is designed to enhance productivity through a simple control interface and automation integration.
CAM.2 Micro Grinder
The CAM.2 Micro Grinder can produce flats, radiuses, needle points, and non-linear shapes; the perfect machine to grind complex medical guidewires, dental parts, and small precision parts for various industries. Combining the latest in multi-axis servo motor control, submicron positioning, and an intuitive 15″ HMI, the CAM.2 offers unmatched performance. With the CAM.2’s full-fledged G-code underpinnings, direct integration with CAD/CAM packages is seamless. Previously unproduceable parts can be made easily, with minimal setup time, and with limited operator training.
GT-610 Centerless Grinders
The Glebar modular GT-610 Series of precision Infeed/Thru-feed Centerless Grinders remove more material faster, and with better surface finishes than competing machines. Applications for machines within this series include aerospace fasteners, automotive transmission components, engine parts, and valve stems, PCD drill bits, arthroscopic bone shavers, bone drill blanks, medical device components, and more.
Experience unmatched precision with our Glebar Centerless Form Grinding Machines. By adapting centerless grinding principles for round parts, we’ve revolutionized golf ball manufacturing since the 1960s. Our form grinding machines master a variety of components as small as 0.050″ to 4″ diameter including insulators for electronic components, fuse bodies, crystal quartz glass boules for fiber optics, check valves for pumps and valves, golf balls, and other consumer product components. They confidently handle even the toughest materials, including carbon fiber, fiberglass (G10), Teflon, Santoprene, and polypropylene. Achieve superior roundness and precision in manufacturing spherical and cylindrical components with our innovative form grinding technology.
