RSM 1000 NC

Machine bed

• The heavy machine bed is designed for high-precision machining of large and heavy workpieces
• The swiveling work table runs on precision-ground, wide and long v-block guides ensuring excellent vibration damping
• With this design the total weight of table and workpiece is distributed evenly over a large area, which ensures high rigidity and minimal tilting torque
• The robust tailstock ensures rigidity and accuracy during clamping of a workpiece between centers

Feed

• The use of servo-conventional feed technology instead of a hydraulic system results in a more consistent and vibration-free advance of the work table
• Premium servo drives allow axis movements with the precision and dynamics of modern CNC machines
• All feed settings can be set with high accuracy and repeatability, and electronic stop gauges provide precise travel limits
• Preloaded ball screws on all axes ensure reduced friction and significantly lower breakaway torques resulting in faster and more precise movements
• The significantly reduced heat build-up leads to more consistent conditions during continuous operation and long-term wear reduction
• Drives, spindles, and measuring systems are totally enclosed or mounted in protective enclosures and virtually maintenance-free

Grinding Headstock

• The headstock runs on premium linear guides that allow maximum positioning accuracy even at the slightest axis movements
• An extensively supported grinding spindle guarantees maximum precision and surface quality for roughing and finishing work
• The inside grinder can be pivoted into the work area as needed and is driven by a separate motor

Work spindle drive

• The work spindle headstock swivels to one side, and the spindle speed is infinitely variable
• A 3-jaw chuck with 7.9" diameter and superior concentricity is included in this series’ standard equipment

Equipment

• The work area features large doors for easy access and easy loading and unloading
• All controls are arranged conveniently on two control panels
• LED lights ensure good visibility and safety during machining operations
• An automatic central lubrication system simplifies maintenance and reduces the operator's workload
• Two electronic hand-wheels (one at each control panel) simplify machine setup and reduce down times
• A rest for machining of long workpieces is included in the machine’s standard equipment
• A powerful coolant system, dresser, grinding wheel balancer, and operating tools also are included in the standard package
• Technical parameters are displayed on a large touch screen monitor

NC control

• The NC positioning control allows the combination of roughing, finishing and spark-out in one operation
• Individual grinding cycles can be programmed via a touchscreen control, no programming knowledge required
• The HMI provides easy to use control menus for every longitudinal and traverse cylindrical grinding application
• Detailed graphics assist the user during data entry and show the current status during machining operations
