Grinding Workpieces Hardened up to 63 HRC with High Performance Face Drivers and Live Centers
Share:
Grinding with Tecnologie FRB face drivers and live centers has many advantages. The most important is that you can obtain a substantial reduction in machining time, which in some cases is over 50% compared to a conventional grinding operation with chuck, driving dogs or collets.
Thanks to a face driver it is possible to machine the entire workpiece in a single clamping as the face driver do not interfere with the working area. No chucks, no driving dogs or collets are required as with these systems a portion of the outer diameter of the shaft is engaged and a second operation to finish the workpiece is required (removing, reversing and rechucking the part).
Furthermore, use of Tecnologie FRB live centers and face drivers allow a higher workpiece peripheral speed so that there is a reduction in contact wheel time. The result is a workpiece with better tolerances, surface finish and a reduced machining time.
Tecnologie FRB will introduce their equipments for turning and grinding applications during IMTS 2006 Show in Chicago, 6th -13th September 2006 I-Tech at booth # B-6668.
Tecnologie FRB was founded in 1960 by Eng. Romano Franceschelli who invented first the live center with load distribution and then the face driver with a self compensating system of the driving pins, completely mechanical. Today TECNOLOGIE FRB set the standard on face driving applications.
