United Grinding recently introduced the new STUDER S141 universal I.D. cylindrical grinding machine that combines cutting edge and proven technologies with optimal ergonomics and ease of use, while delivering dependability, quality, and precision.
The S141 features two big sliding doors and is available in three different design sizes of 11.81" (300 mm), 27.56" (700 mm) and 51.18" (1,300 mm) and inside diameters up to 9.84" (250 mm).
Its grinding spindle turret accommodates up to four grinding spindles, a universal measuring probe, and internal grinding quills in lengths up to 10.433" (265 mm). This allows both internal and external machining of work pieces in the same clamping minimizes non- cut times and boosts part accuracy.
Its work piece table automatically swivels from -10 to +20 degrees. Up to two pivoting dressing units for fixed or rotating dressing tools mount on the machine and ensure the grinding wheels stay sharp throughout the machining operations to provide maximum performance and process stability.
It features a machine bed made of patented Granitan® S103 mineral casting and incorporates the StuderGuide® system for its X- and Z-axes. They are coated with Granitan S200 wear-resistant guide way surfacing material.
The S141 changes over in the shortest times possible and is easily reprogramed. The machine’s 31i – B series Fanuc Control with integrated PC and a 15" touch screen facilitates intuitive operation. Two different operating systems – StuderWIN and StuderSIM – are available and suitable for a wide variety of internal grinding applications, dressing and process-supporting measurement.
