Developed from Vulcan’s Robotic Grinding compliant technology, the system provides high metal removal rates by applying the correct grinding force throughout the process. Much faster than traditional rise and fall table grinding technology. The system uses a replica of the part to be processed, the replica mounted on the same axis and/or plane as the part is driven into a steel wheel that is the same diameter as the contact wheel. The compliance system on the grinder provides a constant grinding force for optimal metal removal. The part is rotated or moved vertically on the Accufast table until the replica contacts the steel guide wheel which then finishes the part to match the replicas profile. Watch the video of the machine in operation for a full understanding of its capabilities.
