Our MultiTool system is the solution to small batch ring grinding of either Tapered Roller Bearings (TRBs) or Angular Contact Ball Bearings (ACBBs). It can grind up to 3 operations with a single system and quick change preset tooling enable a 15 minute changeover. Like the SingleTool it’s Maximizer software maximizes metal removal rates with adaptive normal force control and reduces dwell time with real time adaptive deflection compensation thus reducing the need for skilled operators.
MultiTool simulation of TRB Inner Ring (IR) grinding. Grinding a 50 and 300 mm rings with the same machine and preset quick change tooling enable a 15 minute changeover.
MultiTool simulation of Angular Contact Ball Bearing (ACBB) Inner Ring (IR) grinding. Grinding a 50,120 and 200 mm rings with the same machine and preset quick change tooling enable a 15 minute changeover.
