Schütte has introduced the 325linear machine, a 5-axis CNC grinder with extended X- and Y-axis movement plus two auxiliary slides for workpiece clamping and improved grinding wheel guidance over the entire machining envelope. Microtools, gun drills, hob cutters, and complex geometries can be accommodated on the grinder, which typically operates from 2,500 to 4,000 RPM.
The second auxiliary slide enables the machine to use tool guidance, part support, tailstock, or workpiece pallets in operation. On the A axis, the user can install collet chucks, hydraulic expansion chucks, or multirange chucks. With the automated collet changer on the machine, workpieces with different diameters can be clamped with high concentricity in the unattended loader station.
The A-axis configuration on this machine also permits position-oriented clamping of nonrotationally symmetrical workpieces. In this way, sequential workpieces with various roughing and finishing requirements can be preset on the machine for continuous processing.
