Polycrystalline Tool Grinders Model FC-200D and the Model FC-500D

Product Description:

The Polycrystalline Tool Grinders allow for economical manufacturing and regrinding of: PCD, CVD, PCBN, Carbide, and HSS tools.  These machines grind angles and radii on standard and special turning and milling inserts, boring tools, milling cutters, grooving tools, reamers, and other special tools.  The rigid construction with a 3-HP variable speed grinding spindle provides for vibration-free grinding and fast stock removal.

Both the Model FC-200D and the Model FC-500D feature a unique video optical system with 15-120x (zoom) magnification and a black and white video monitor.  This system provides a higher magnification and/or a larger field of view than most machine-mounted optical comparator systems.  In addition, the video camera moves with the worktable for easy set-up and for inspection during and after grinding.  Their rigid construction and a 3 Hp variable speed grinding spindle allow for vibration-free grinding and fast stock removal.
The Model FC-500D is a larger, more versatile machine than the FC-200D.  In addition to all of the capabilities of the Model FC-200D, the Model FC-500D features vertical grinding spindle travel, a wheel travel range of 500 mm and an oscillation stroke of 70mm.  The Model FC-500D is also designed for grinding reamers, drills, end mills, and multi-step form tools.  

Machine Features

One-piece cast iron base provides extra rigidity and minimizes vibration.
Infeed slide and grinding head slide use Schneeberger precision linear ways for accuracy and long life.
Oscillation is adjustable in position, stroke and frequency.
Heavy duty cross table pivots with two pairs of precision (ABEC-7) angular contact bearings.
Cross table pivots up to 240 degrees with two adjustable positioning stops and quickly locks in any position.
Video Optical System, with a 15x - 120x (zoom) magnification range and a 12-inch monitor, allows for measurement and inspection of radii from .001" to .375" (.025mm to 9.5mm).
Optical System moves with the worktable for easy setup and for inspection during or after grinding.
The scale shown on the video monitor can be used to represent increments for various applications. The zoom optics 
Provide magnifications from 15x to 120x. The magnification can be adjusted, using a sample of known size, and locked so that the scale will accurately show the desired increments. The "1" on the scale can represent: 1/32" (74x), 1/16" (37x), 1/8" (18x), 1mm (58x), .5mm (116x), .050" (46x), .020" (115x), etc..
Work table moves rapidly to and from the grinding position under pneumatic control.
Controls are placed for ease of use; the work table infeed handwheel can be fixed in position on the RH side or the LH side, depending on operator preference (RH mounting shown).
