QUBE

About this product

More grinding machine per square foot

The QUBE combines the uncompromising quality promise of a technology leader with new ideas for economic grinding in highest precision.

The basic principle of the QUBE series is the vertical arrangement of components. The work piece headstock is always above, and the tools below. Like the ULTRA series, the QUBE can also perform internal or external grinding with corresponding axis arrangements. This provides the greatest possible efficiency in the smallest space.

YOUR BENEFITS

Space savings of up to 75% through

consistent vertical grinding machine concept

multiple machines can be linked

integrated assemblies

Fast loading through

simpler internal automation components due to compact vertical design

higher dynamics during loading [t=s/v]

short distances due to compact shape: Short auxiliary times, fast change times

simplified measuring stations (work piece already in measurement position)

consistent use of linear drive technology

Energy efficiency through

cooling of grinding spindles with coolant instead of water

conceptually dispenses with flooding of components

peripherals in a simplified version: cooling system, exhaust, fire extinguishing system (air consumption and cooling power up to 30%, power up to 15%)

Wear-free assemblies:

hydrostatic axes with ball screw with short-stroke or feed axes: Stiff, fast, wear-free

hydrostatic workpiece spindles of the highest precision

Highest thermal stability through:

TOP-DOWN coolant guide and minimal thermal load on the vertical machine bed

coolant leaves assemblies immediately

circulatory flow in the lower machine bed area is thermally insulated, no direct contact with heated coolant

Gravitational use

no disruption of the process by chips due to gravity

grinding chips flow from the workpiece directly downward

no bending stress on vertical spindles or mandrels

Excellent accessibility thanks to compact design

movable units offer best Access

practically zero-maintenance: Directly driven work spindles (without belts, with life-time grease lubrication or hydrostatic)

dense / easily accessible units/devices

Modularity principle

open formats for module assemblies on vertical machine bed

optimum axle configuration

linking of multiple QUBE machines is possible
