MC Lathe for a Grinder???

[Josh T™]

What's happening everyone?

 

I thought I saw this topic before but couldn't find anything on a search.

 

We have a Kellenberger 4 axis grinder. 2 OD/ 2 ID heads with profile dress and grind capabilities. I'm thinking there could possibly be someone out there that uses MC Lathe to program this way, maybe not on a kellenberger but something else(Studer?) If anyone has any ideas let me know, my superiors and I are VERY curious.

 

Thanks, Josh

We have a few customers programing grinders with lathe. I shoot you an email.

We have a studer s40 I have been working on a post for it for a while now. The grinding guys don't like the idea of using Mcam and I have no experince in grinding. It would work very well for cams and out of round. I have got a few things done with lathe but I am sure with the right people you can make it work smoothly.

Josh I did that with the Okuma grinder here.

I was pretty sure that someone was doing it... I just didn't know who. The Kellenberger has a lot of weird code that would definetly need a lot of post tweaking. Looks like Barefoot CNC and I have a job to get started. Thanks e'rbody!
