Process control systems for grinding machines

In the GRINDING PROCESS, very small details can have huge effects on the machining performance. This context requires to take care, meticulously and continuously, at many aspects including complex ancillary units.

Some of them, depend on external suppliers that have specific experience in niche engineering branches such as Spindle Balancing, Touch Detection, In-Process gauging and Vibration analysis.

This presents a critical step towards the full control of grinding operations in a computer numerically controlled (CNC) environment.

Balance Systems grinding process systems help to:

1) improve the workpiece quality

2) reduce the grinding-wheel wear

3) speed-up the cycle-time

4) extend the machine lifetime

5) increase the operators’ safety

Balance Systems operates on a worldwide basis for more than 40 years. Our customers primarily include keys players of the grinding industry, both OEMs and End-users. With our technology, we can run different functions, simultaneously, including automatic spindle balancing, touch detection (acoustic), and in-process gauging. Today, Balance Systems is the leading company in this field thanks to several patented solutions.

Our Grinding Solutions

BALANCING SYSTEMS

The balancing of the spindle and grinding wheel is an essential operation in order to achieve the machining’s surface quality and to ensure a long life of the rotary components.

GAUGING SYSTEMS

The use of our in-process measuring systems allows to produce permanently components in conformity with the most severe environmental conditions (warm-up, thermal shifts, chemical coolant, local or induced vibrations, etc.) and to operate in high-speed cycles.

ACOUSTIC SYSTEMS

The control of the grinding wheel balancing and its dresser allows to obtain a near perfect profile also optimizing the removal of the grinding wheel surface, which is evident by the increase in the tool life and reducing environmental impact.
