The New Grinding Edge
SMART-III technology is now available in a multi-functional 2- and 3-axes CNC surface grinder. The SMART’s PC-based control, combined with a user-friendly conversational TaskLink function, makes it easy to learn and operate. The SMART series produces “mirror” surface finishes on highly accurately ground workpieces that result in microfinishes of 5 RMS with a position- ing and grinding accuracy of (±) 1 micron. The SMART’s move- ments are programmable in increments of 0.001mm and include a table size up to 24"W x 80"L. The standard spindle speed is 1200rpm to 3600rpm with a spindle power of up to 25HP (greater HP is available).
