Chevalier Grinder Features Rough and Fine-Grinding Cycles

The FSG-1224ADIII is fully automatic on the X- and Y-axis, includes 2-axis servo control and a new PLC controller that features a grind cycle with rough and fine grinding, spark-out passes and an automatic over-wheel dresser with compensation that can be added to a fully automatic grinding process. After the cycle is finished, the table will "park" either left or right. The wheel head will park in the safety position to facilitate unloading and loading.

The fully automatic grinding feature consists of rough- and fine-grinding cycles, switching from rough-grinding down-feed increments to fine-grinding down-feed increments at preset points during the cycle. This crossfeed also switches from a rough to fine cross-feed increment, which results in a finer surface finish and finer accuracy.

The FSG-1224ADIII's new user-friendly touch-screen control has standard surface grinding programs and a plunge grinding cycle. There are also optional crisscross or zigzag cycles and a CBN dressing cycle. Simple and user-friendly, all skill levels can operate this series of ADIII controllers.
