The “Macro-S” was especially developed for use in cellular manufacturing installations. The overall width of the machine is a mere 1500 mm and customization of coolant evacuation and operator stations makes for a very adaptable package when production cells are rearranged. These machines are, therefore, extremely suitable for multiple machine installations and situations where easy adaption to changing production requirements is important. Despite its compact size this machine offers all the same characteristics found in our larger models for highly efficient production grinding.
The “Macro-SI” offers an index table similar to the “Macro-I” and facilitates loading and unloading of components parallel to the grinding process. The rigid design of the machine base and frame allows the mounting of most auxiliary systems directly to the machine which facilitates moving the machine as a single unit, an important feature in today’s ever changing production environment.
The MACRO series is characterized mainly by the following useful features
- torque tube design
- polymer concrete-filled machine bed
- tool slides of the machine are made from cast iron
- high stock removal rates achievable
- efficient vibration damping
- high thermal stability
- water-cooled spindles and spindle drives
- different rotary speeds and power levels available
- stable temperature during grinding
- consistently high part quality
