The GrindSmart® 628XS is a 6-axis CNC super precision tool grinder for the manufacturing and regrinding of round & non-round cutting tools, from Ø 0.1mm (.004") to 16mm (5/8"). Its automatic loading/unloading system, precision clamping system, and innovative V-block & steadyrest support make it one of the world's most reliable tool grinders on the market today.
This CNC tool grinding machine is a re-designed and improved version of the renowned model 620XS. The new features include a new control panel for improved operator convenience, a rotary glass scale on the tool axis for enhanced flute and relief finish on cutting tools and higher indexing accuracy, as well as a re-inforced machine bed to absorb vibrations and external disturbances.
With maximum uptime and unmatched productivity for long & short batches, this highly versatile grinder has 6 interpolating axes for customized grinding of metal cutting, composites & woodworking tools, inserts, medical & dental instruments, polycrystalline CBN, and much more. It operates on a Fanuc iPanel 160iMB control with Fanuc support world-wide. The GrindSmart®620XS is operated by our VirtualGrind® and VirtualGrind® Pro software and features 3D tool & machine simulation. Our EasySetup? wheel presetting & programming method reduces machine setup time by 50% and eliminates dry-run!
