Grinding Wheel Dressing Machine



The Tridex DM-12 CNC is a standalone solution for precision grinding wheel dressing.

Capable of dressing wheels up to 12" (310 mm) in diameter and 10.2" (259 mm) wide, this versatile machine seamlessly integrates into the manufacturing process. Its interchangeable arbors provide compatibility across all in-feed, through-feed and OD/ID grinders using wheels within the size envelope. It is designed to handle aggressively hard electrochemical resin-bonded wheels used on Tridex ECG grinding machines. Users can shape wheels offline for uninterrupted production, optimizing the grinder's efficiency. Fully CNC-controlled, the DM-12 enables precise dressing of custom wheel geometries.

The DM-12 CNC supports grinding wheels up to 12" in diameter and 10.2" wide.

Additional features:

  • Standalone machine that CNC dresses precision contours in vitrified, resin and superabrasive grinding wheels
  • Fully functional Mitsubishi CNC control with color HMI screen
  • The hydraulic tailstock supports the grinding wheel, reducing set-up time and increasing accuracy
  • Uses long-lasting diamond dressing rolls of various shapes
  • Adapts to diverse workshop layouts, maximizing space efficiency
  • Standard coolant and filtration system
  • 5.5 kW main spindle motor
  • 0.75 kW dressing spindle for 4-6" diameter dressing rolls.
