Mikrosa Kronos S
The Mikrosa KRONOS S centerless grinder is the ideal system decision for economical precision processing of small parts. The special feature of the KRONOS S: It can be converted into a 15° inclined plunge cutting machine within 2 hours. In this way, applications which were only possible between centres can be processed alternately. If we look at it this way, the KRONOS S is really "two machines in one". It has been designed for universal use even with the smallest of batch sizes.
The KRONOS S provides outstanding overall economy, above all in combination with the CBN high-speed technology.
A further feature is the patented cross-slide system. The special cross-slide construction and the easily accessible arrangement of the dressing appliances have made easy adjustments possible. For plunge cut parts, a handling system which can be integrated with the machine is available. It can be combined with external workpiece stores without any problems.
Benefit:
Mechanical adjustments are no longer necessary for α' and B1 axis a sure touch is replaced by NC precision. This means: reproducible figures at the push of a button. The "µ hammer" is thus a thing of the past.
Features:
- Unique: Settings for α' and B1 without mechanical movement elements thanks to SCHAUDT MIKROSA BWF know-how, resulting in a distinct reduction of the adjustment and set-up times plus an increase in reproducibility
- Time benefit: 85% saving in the generation of the hyperbolic profile on the regulating wheel-75% saving in the cylinder correction on the workpiece
- The Kronos system only uses 4 axis, where as conventional systems use 8 axis to achieve the sam result
- Highest dressing processing for grinding and regulating wheel by arrangement of the dressers in the centre of the workpiece level
- Quick refitting into a 15° inclined plunge cut machine in less than 2 hours by a simple change of the grinding spindle unit.
