Grob Systems Will Demonstrate Power Skiving Capabilities at Manufacturing Technology Series East
Grob Systems, Inc. will demonstrate power skiving capabilities as well as innovative fir tree mill finishing on its highly productive Grob G550T 5-axis mill-turn universal machining center at Manufacturing Technology Series East (formally known as EASTEC) Booth #1720 at Eastern States Exposition in West Springfield, MA from May 13-15 this year. Attendees can see how Grob meets and exceeds precision manufacturing demands and Grob personnel will be on-hand to answer specific customer application questions.
The Grob G550T offers maximum stability and excellent maintainability and provides the greatest possible positioning flexibility due to the axes large swivel range (230ﹾ in the A’-axis and 360ﹾ in the B’-axes). A horizontal spindle position permits the longest possible Z-travel path and optimum chip fall. The G550T features a unique arrangement of the three linear axes that minimizes the distance between the guides and the machining point (TCP), providing stability in part production. A tunnel concept permits the largest possible component (even in the case of with extremely long tools) to be swiveled and machined within the work area without collision. The three linear and two rotary axes allow 5-sided machining, 5-axis simultaneous interpolation, as well as Grob Traori-turning for precise cutting control. Grob machining centers are made in the U.S.A. at the Grob Systems full production facility in Ohio which has recently been expanded to 500,000 sq. ft. and can include advanced automation solutions for dramatically increased productivity.
