CNC Angular Cylindrical Grinder

The GAE Series of s from Shigiya (USA) LTD. features rigid wheelheads, workheads and tailstock units. The GAE Series is engineered for precision during heavy grinding. When combined with an angle head type wheelhead, the GAE is designed to perform face grinding with ease, similar to that of a plain type cylindrical grinder.

The GAE wheelhead features a rigid main body, a heat-treated nitride steel wheel spindle and a large ø510 mm wheel. To maximize stability and load capacity, the GAE's wheelhead and table feed include wide, V-flat guiding surfaces. "The high damping performance and equalization of lubricant provided by the oil film's squeezing effect ensure long-term smooth and precise grinding," said a company spokesperson. "Non-concentric hydrodynamic bearings secure an optimal wedge angle. Bearings are ground to a high degree of precision with Shigiya's exclusively developed grinder for bearings."

The GAE is equipped with a non-swivel dead spindle workhead designed for further stability and low vibration. In addition, a highly rigid tailstock and a large diameter spindle are built for high-precision, heavy grinding. Shigiya's 250 mm center-distance model for short length workpieces features a compact workhead and tailstock that allows for an approximately 20% reduction in machine width compared to previous models.

The GAE includes an interactive automatic programming system designed for easy operation. This system enables a wide range of grinding and dressing patterns. Due to its high output servomotor, the grinder can change workpiece rotational speed steplessly within the range of 15 to 600 RPM in response to NC instructions.

Shigiya offers a wide variety of options for the GAE, including an in-process O.D. gauge, a workpiece shoulder locator and an automatic loading/unloading system.

GAE-30B and GAE-40B types are available in the series. The GAE-30B features a ø300 mm swing over table and 250 to 2,000 mm distance between centers. The GAE-40B features a ø410 mm swing over table and 220 to 1,970 mm distance between centers. Wheel size for both models is ø 510 (O.D.) x 50 (W) x 127 (I.D.) mm.
