About this event
High dimensional accuracy, stable processes, and flexibility in the face of changing workpiece requirements are key demands in modern cylindrical grinding. EMAG's universal grinding machines in the UG series were developed precisely for these tasks.
This webinar will give you an overview of the machine concept behind the UG series. You will also learn how internal, external, and out-of-round grinding processes can be combined to achieve optimal grinding results.
Universal grinding
The UG series allows multiple grinding processes to be combined on a single machine. This reduces setup times, simplifies process flows, and increases the reproducibility of results.
Typical applications are:
- Internal and external grinding
- Flat and contour grinding
- Taper, thread, and out-of-round grinding
- Machining between centers or in a chuck
Machine concept and model overview
The UG series comprises four models with grinding lengths from 400 to 1,500 mm:
- UG 400
- UG 630
- UG 1000
- UG 1500
The series thus covers both compact workshop solutions and universal production machines for long shafts and complex geometries.
Precision through rigid structure and direct drives
A rigid machine base with precise linear guides in the X and Z axes forms the basis for high dimensional accuracy and repeatability. Direct-drive motor grinding spindles with up to 11 kW ensure low-vibration power transmission and consistent grinding quality.
The automatically swivelling B-axis enables stepless positioning from –15° to +225° with high angular accuracy and is crucial for surface and contour grinding processes. Precision spindles with high motor speeds and oil-air lubrication are available for internal grinding.
