General Motors has selected C & B Machinery’s latest generation clamp bore micro-finishing machines. This new, lower cost design provides tighter control of face to bore perpendicularity and improved lead variation resulting in reduced transmission noise. This machine provides equal stock removal from symmetrical or non-symmetrical components.
Process Description
- The component is located and clamped using the ID as datum while the gear faces are sequentially ground.
- An automatic multi-functional gauging system pre-checks each face to equalize stock removal and controls part width.
- Parts are rotated as the grinding wheel(s) plunge feed producing uniform surface flatness and finish.
Features
- Vertical Wheelheads & Workheads
- Digitally Controlled Axes
- Programmable Grinding Wheel Cutting Speed (SFPM)
- Variable Speed Workdrives
- Super Abrasive Compatible
- Pneumatic/Hydraulic Work Clamping
- In-Process Gauging System
- Automation Tailored to Customer Requirements
- Multiple Models Available (Face, OD, Groove, Multi-step)
- Standard Control System – Siemens (Allen Bradley, Fanuc, Square-D & others available)
Advantages
- Improved Lead Variation
- Tighter Face – Bore Perpendicularity
- Controlled Stock Removal (Symmetrical & Non-Symmetrical Components)
- Competitively Priced
- Reduced Footprint
- Reduced Operating Cost
