TX-MD400 PLUS CNC Insert Periphery Grinder

TX-MD400 PLUS CNC Insert Periphery Grinder

General Specifications

A dedicated CNC grinder for the periphery of indexable inserts, with robot loading. It grinds the double-sided edge land (chamfer) of an insert in a single clamping.

  • Non-standard insert grinding: import a drawing to set up complex curves, involutes and other profiles in one step.
  • X/Y axes on THK high-precision roller guides with Akribis linear motors; B/C axes use direct-drive motors in a patented design — quiet, stiff, and maintenance-free over long runs.
  • Built-in database of every ISO-standard insert — enter the process parameters and the machine completes the insert.
  • 12 kW Taiwanese synchronous motor spindle with constant-torque control — rigid, vibration-resistant, powerful and quiet.
  • KEYENCE probe measures the insert periphery and compensates the insert center, holding the inscribed-circle size.
  • HT300 grey cast-iron bed, naturally aged for stability and vibration damping.
