In terms of precision, the K100 has enabled us to make a quantum leap. We now grind with a reliability of 2 µm. The surface finish of the machined tool holders is so good that, with the same polishing times, the results are many times better—from Ra 0.3–0.4 µm to now below Ra 0.1.

The machine and automation were customized to meet our needs and specifications. Due to the high precision required, our workpieces have specific machining requirements. For example, we needed two probes to check the axial runout of the back side and the diameters of the holes during machining. We also needed a 3-jaw chuck on the robot to ensure the parts were securely clamped. The K1000’s wide range of options truly leaves nothing to be desired.

The machine’s flexibility—such as the ability to perform out-of-round, thread, and coordinate grinding—is very beneficial to us. Every day, we machine a wide variety of different workpieces, often with challenging geometries. One of our specialties is grinding polygonal mounts. Here, the highest surface finish and fit accuracy are essential. This cannot be achieved solely through the operator’s grinding expertise.

We sent inquiries (regarding the desired automated machine solution) to all eligible grinding machine manufacturers … But only Kellenberger submitted a comprehensive proposal with a compelling solution and was therefore ultimately awarded the contract.

The (automated) K100 significantly contributes to increased productivity and efficiency, as well as consistently high quality. In addition, the solution reduces manual effort and minimizes sources of error. Our colleagues can now easily operate multiple machines at the same time.
