Grinding Center for Periphery Grinding of Indexable Inserts



Handling area with capacity of up to six pallets

AGATHON Machine Tools, Inc. recently introduced the Leo Peri high precision 4-axis grinding center for grinding the periphery of indexable inserts. Throughout product development, the Leo Peri design concept focused on achieving a smaller machine size, incorporating greater user-friendly accessibility, maintenance-free concepts and enhanced machine strength enabling high process performance to meet both high production and peak quality standards for carbide, cermet, ceramics and CBN applications.

Features include: fully integrated 3-axis linear handling system, state-of-the-art control technology, optimized direct drives for X-, Y- and C-axes, in-process dressing, 250 mm grinding wheel diameter and support for utilizing four to six standard pallets for flexibility and efficiency.

With the Leo Peri's small footprint (4 sq. meters) combined with short grinding times, high removal rates and low power consumption, result in low cost per workpiece while meeting stringent quality and precision performance standards over a range of materials.

In addition, the machine layout incorporates access from three sides only allowing for back-to-wall or back-to-back installation as well as allowing for uncomplicated servicing. The centralized layout of all machine connection points is another feature for ease of operation. Peripheral devices can utilize roof-top installation for enhanced space usage.

Options include: vision system with LED luminous field and /or spot recognition; integrated cooling lubricant lift pump; force measurement, software for easy program creation for ISO inserts; as well as other software options.
