To increase cycle times on grinding operations, software is available that measures the pressure and noise generated during the CNC grinding process. When, because of the material characteristics or cut, this software recognises that resistance on the cutting tool has diminished it accelerates the grinding wheel accordingly. Conversely, should noise and pressure indicate that resistance has risen, it slows the tool.

To optimise your work process, modern state-of-the-art CNCs allow you to choose exactly the mode of machining your application requires. If it needs to be done in a hurry its quick-and-dirty mode will get you fast results. On the other hand, should absolute precision be your priority, a good CNC will also support slow more precise machining.

To prevent the risk of collisions on multi-axis CNC grinding machines and protect your expensive equipment, tooling and workpieces from damage, some manufacturers offer intelligent anti-collision software. By modelling your machine's tool path and stopping the machine should an issue be detected, this also prevents the need for downtime and costly repairs.

Grinding complex parts often requires various tools. And the more tools you have in your changer, the more important it is that your CNC supports intelligent tool management software. This is designed to monitor the condition of your tools and manage the tool changing process to ensure extremely high tool change speeds and good cycle times.

Advanced functionality on selected CNCs enables you to grind up to four workpieces simultaneously on a standard machine. Flexible path and axis assignment features on the CNC enable synchronised movement. Using a different CNC feature, it is also possible to model two workpieces simultaneously.

Much easier to integrate than you would imagine, robots provide an extremely flexible machine tending solution. Rotating chain loaders offer another method of loading and unloading your blanks and parts. Whatever solution you choose, control and seamless coordination is provided by your machine's CNC.
