2869

Armed with NUMROTOplus software, the NTG tool and cutter grinder from Star Cutter is designed for manufacturing and reconditioning end mills, drills, step drills, taps, and form cutters quickly and precisely. NTG’s three-station wheel and manifold changer switches grinding wheels in 10-15 seconds. The high volume auto load/unload system holds up to 288 parts and loads and unloads tools half an inch in diameter by up to eight inches long to an automated tailstock center in 15 seconds or less. Linear motors on two horizontal axes eliminate the need for ball screws and reduce the number of moving parts, lowering maintenance costs, and improving surface finishes. And since the loader is integrated in the standard enclosure, the NTG takes up 30 percent less floor space than earlier generation machines. See the NTG at IMTS 2010 booth #N-6924.
