United Grinding’s Ewag carbide insert grinding machine processes multiple geometries

United Grinding has unveiled its new Ewag Profile Line, an indexable carbide insert grinding system.

Developed in a partnership between Ewag AG and sister company Walter Maschinenbau GmbH, these machines grind highly complex, interchangeable insert geometries and interfaces.

The grinders enhance production efficiency with an integrated six-station changer for grinding wheel sets, with a coolant supply manifold that selects the optimal wheel to ensure the maximum possible machining volume for sintered insert blanks.

The machine integrates both Ewag ProGrind and Walter Helitronic Tool Studio into its FANUC control unit to further expand the range of applications and improve insert geometries.

For unattended, lights-out operations, the machines come equipped with an integrated 6-axis FANUC robot that can accommodate customer-specific pallets.

A high-resolution CCD-HD vision system is also available for loading grid pallets using magnetic grippers. Cleaning, reclamping, and centring stations also can be integrated and adapted to the customer-specific product range.
