AMC-SCHOU CNC cylindrical grinders 1

Swivelable CNC B-axis for auto-matic positioning of the wheel
head at any desired angle. We received aп inquiry from an American customer regarding a landing gear application. Other features indude measuring probes, air lifted head-and tailstocks, auto balancing and full enclosure.The machinery has an extraordinarily high swing and is equipped with two grinding wheels mounted on a B-axis. 

We use SKF and Rexroth high-precision ball screws for X- and Z-axis ensuring smooth, accurate and trouble-free movements of the antifriction covered table and wheel slide.
- SKF bearings in heavy duty design in head- and tailstock ensuring smooth and trouble-free rotation of even extra heavy work-pieces.
- The Weiss motor spindles ensure trouble-free operation and long operating life.

A variety of ineasuring devices such as probes and in-process measuring equipment can be mounted on the machines depending on end user requirements. The machine can be equipped with acoustic sensors to prevent unforeseen and unintended movements and actions causing collisions with the work-piece, dresser, headstock, tailstock etc.

Retractable wheel guard is an option if excessive face grinding is required. Heavy duty steady rests are essential for heavy loads

The smallest machine in the program is the R-1800 CNC.
Enclosure in various designs can be fitted on the machines.

At AMC-sCHOU A/S we cooperate with our customers on the final solution to design the most efficient, user-friendly and sturdy machines.

SKF and Deutsche Star Rexroth highprecision ball screws for X- and Z-axis ensure smooth, accurate and troublefree movement of the antifriction covered table and wheel slide. Heavy duty SKF bearings in head- and tailstock ensure smooth and trouble-free rotation of even extra heavy work-pieces.

AMC-SCHOU A/S manufactures a conventional line of manual and semiautomatic machines capable of grinding work-pieces of up to 4000 mm/157" in length, with a diameter of 610 mm/24" and max. work-piece weight of 2 tons/4408 1 bs.

In today's modern manufacturing climate, companies must improve their research and development capacity, invest in high efficiency machinery and equipment, implement LEAN manufacturing processes and focus on human resources if they are to stay one step ahead of the competition.

The modern steel grinder faces increasing demands for accuracy and surface fınish. New steel grades and alloys are developed at an ever increasing rate. This results in extra pressure on manufacturers in terms of flexibility and frequent changes to grinding parameters.

The number of rollers used in all kinds of industry is almost innumerable. Many everyday products we come across are either fully or partially made using rollers. Many wom rollers can be reground if new rubber is extruded on. After grinding, some rollers are laser engraved with logos, colours, and cutting dies, etc. Rollers come in many shapes and sizes, all depending on the end product and the manufacturing process. Many of our customers grind sleeves for the flexographic industry as well.
Our competitive edge in the rubber roller industry is the speed of grinding, amount of stock removal, surface fınish and very accurate measurements. A traditional lathe mounted with a grind post is still commonly used, but these types of machines are slow and inaccurate and the market has begun to demand improved surfaces and higher accuracy. Our grinder can replace three or four lathes, saving you manpower, space and energy. It also grinds to a higher quality while providing the same output.

X-2 axis
The X-2 axis is an additional axis that can be installed next to the main grinding wheel on the rear side of the bed. It is used for an extra grinding wheel for rough grinding or for installation of a polishing unit and is integrated with the CNC controls of the machine.
Grooving system The system consists of 4 programmable motors, operated through the Siemens 840SL controller.
Programs for almost every imaginable kind of groove are provided as standard with the machine. The grooving attachment is placed in front of the machine and the system offers the possibility of grinding and milling.

Milling is performed with variable speed up to 17,500 rpm and using a mounted 12 mm/1/2" clamping system for various tools. Grinding is performed using a Siemens digital 5.75 hp servomotor with variable speeds of up to 9,000 rpm, max. grinding wheel 300 mm/11.8" and max. width 30 mm/1.2. The angle is positioned using a Siemens digital servomotor with a brake and enhanced with an Alpha Gear ratio 1:10.
The grooving unit slide moves along linear guides.
