Conversion X1 axis

Problem

Mechanical, cam-controlled automatic grooving on Herminghausen SR1, SR2, SR3, SR4 machines no longer works fast enough or accurately enough for today's dimensional precision requirements. The procurement of suitable control cams is no longer economically feasible, or the variety of cams required is too great.

Solution

Conversion of the machine to an X1 axis driven by a servo motor and ball screw spindle with a new control system.

Operation

The X1 axis is controlled via a new control panel with integrated touch screen. The user interface was developed by SFS.

All relevant parameters for grinding can be set via the touchscreen. The control system also includes workpiece counters and a message archive. The remaining basic machine functions are controlled via the existing control panel.

The fine infeed of your throughfeed grinding machines can also be converted to the new X1 axis.
