High Performance Precision I.D. Grinder
June 1, 2017
Fives has introduced the Landis-Bryant UL2, an internal high speed production grinder designed for processing bores, faces and contours of bearing rings, valve lifters, gears, universal joint cups and CVJ components, and is especially suitable for machining workpieces with an external diameter of up to 177 mm.
The Landis-Bryant UL2 torque tube bed design, combined with a flow-through system that circulates oil and coolant through the base, provides enhanced rigidity and thermal stability.
Independent slides in X and Z, each mounted directly to the machine bed, provide a low center of gravity. The machine's round-bar hydrostatic slideways in each axis provide a stiff system with minimum friction. Fives uses high-resolution servo motors that are directly coupled to precision ball screws for precise and reliable positioning throughout the entire production cycle.
Whether an application calls for a diaphragm or collet chuck, a shoe centerless magnetic chuck set-up or a disc drive roll centerless arrangement, the Landis-Bryant UL2 allows for various machine configurations. This model offers automatic workpiece loading solutions for many applications as well as in- and post-process gauging in a compact set-up. Other features include acoustic emission monitoring system (AEMS), automatic taper adjustment, FANUC i Series control and various dressing options.
Fives' I.D. grinding systems are equipped with Landis-Bryant spindles that contain super-precision bearings and permit operation at high speeds. They are powered by in-house designed induction motors to provide enhanced performance for efficient machining.
