MX7 Grinder Makes Tools With Up To 16mm Diameters
Anca's MX7 CNC grinder, which the company recently exhibited at the EMO Exhibition, can manufacture a variety of tools up to 16mm in diameter. Adam Wallace, the MX7 product manager, said: 'The MX7 offers high output, enhanced flexibility and rapid changeover for high-efficiency and support for lean-manufacturing principles. 'The MX7 provides superb flexibility and quick changeovers to accommodate smaller batch sizes yet high output for production houses. 'That's where the ten-second wheel-and-tool changeover capability really makes its mark.' The MX7's permanent-magnet spindle produces superior performance across the entire spindle working range; it operates to a maximum of 10,000rpm with a spindle power rating of 20kW/27Hp (S1). Because of a lower current draw, less heat is generated and therefore less system expansion takes place, which further aids precision. Although applicable to a range of materials, the MX7's higher torque at lower RPM characteri...
