The KELLENBERGER VM1000 internal cylindrical grinding machine is optimized for flexible, universal internal and external cylindrical machining of complex workpieces. High-precision chucks, centers, and fixtures for shoe grinding allow for the machining of virtually any workpiece shape, as well as the performance of multiple internal and external grinding operations in a single setup. Workpieces range from the smallest individual parts for fuel injection systems in passenger car engines, through ball bearing rings and gearboxes, to hydraulic components and complex components in machine tool manufacturing, such as spindles.
The kinematically flexible machine design of the KELLENBERGER VM1000 features two linear axes and two rotary axes. The hydrostatic linear axes, equipped with newly developed HYDROLIN guides, are backlash-free, ensuring positioning accuracies in the nanometer range. The high-precision hydrostatic B-axes additionally perform all necessary movements of the dressing and measuring devices. This flexibility enables a wide range of machining options and reduces setup times. The spindle turret on the B1 axis is equipped with a uniquely compact grinding spindle head featuring a flexible internal grinding spindle arrangement for up to four grinding spindles.
Operator guidance is provided via an intuitive 19-inch touchscreen interface of the latest FANUC 31i-B CNC control. The innovative BLUE Solution software enables even inexperienced operators to program quickly and intuitively.
