External grinding (RME)

The Abrapress RME outside grinding machines for mounted points are so called because they only process the wheel externally. The machines are essentially made up of a robust metal framework so as to avoid vibrations during machining of the rough grinding wheel, an electrospindle with jaws for the wheel’s pin positioning, or in special cases for the blank positioning, and a machining head generally made up of a tool wheel. Both wheels are positioned horizontally.

These machines are characterized by a rotation on more axes to carry out special profiles on the mounted point. The machine is designed both for the manual and the automatic mode but the workpiece loading is generally done by the operator by hand.

The control systems used for this type of machine are:

• Specially programmed Siemens operator’s panel

By means of these programming systems and the correct tool selection, the following machining operations can be carried out with this machine:

• Outside

Technical features:

Abrapress is able to develop and design the best solution for the customer based on the process and space requirements for the machine layout.
