CNC grinding is a precision finishing process that removes extremely small amounts of material from a part using a controlled abrasive wheel. In a CNC grinding machine, the CNC system manages wheel position, spindle speed, feed rate and machine movement so manufacturers can produce parts with tight tolerances, smooth finishes and precise geometries.
FANUC CNC systems are well suited for CNC grinder machines because they provide the speed, precision, repeatability and reliability required for demanding grinding applications. From surface grinding and cylindrical grinding to complex multi-axis grinding processes, FANUC controls help manufacturers improve accuracy, productivity and machine uptime.
FANUC CNCs, known for their rock-solid reliability and unbeatable performance, enable grinding equipment to produce parts at a high rate with exceptional finishes. Thanks to our CNC’s ability to control very accurately the grinding wheel’s position, speed, feed and movement within microns, manufacturers can experience the full benefits of CNC grinding. The following FANUC controls are perfect for grinding applications.
