Product Overview
The FMI Vertical Cylindrical Grinding Machine series delivers customized precision versatile grinding, designed for heavy and non-cylindrical workpieces requiring OD, ID, and end-face grinding. The gantry bridge structure combined with a hydrostatic rotary table provides exceptional mechanical rigidity and grinding precision — achieving cylindricity of 1.081um and roundness below 1um. Equipped with Siemens controllers and a 15" touchscreen conversational interface, operators need only input machining parameters — no manual programming required.
Key Features
- High precision, high stability, optimal operating space — vertical orientation eliminates gravity effects for consistent accuracy
- Suitable for heavy and non-cylindrical workpieces; heavy parts can be crane-loaded onto fixtures
- Gantry bridge structure with excellent mechanical rigidity; rails positioned above bridge to avoid grinding coolant effects
- Fully enclosed guard with oil mist collector — prevents coolant leakage
- Flexible single or dual spindle configuration with optional ATC
- FANUC or Siemens controller with 15" large touchscreen conversational interface
- Conversational programming — intuitive operation without manual G-code programming
- Dual-spindle models support high/low speed wheels or vertical/horizontal combined spindles for high-efficiency machining
Machine Structure
▸ X Axis: Four linear guideways for high-rigidity guidance
▸ Y Axis: Minimal extension design — high rigidity, low vibration, shortest overhang distance
▸ Guideways / Ball Screws: Swiss/German/Japanese brand linear guideways and ball screws (optional linear motor)
▸ Gantry Bridge: Symmetrical gantry structure with minimal thermal deformation (optional mineral casting); rails above bridge avoid coolant effects
▸ Base: One-piece cast base (optional mineral casting)
▸ Spindle: Built-in high-speed spindle HSK100/HDK63; optional dual spindles (vertical + horizontal) or B-axis swivel head; optional ATC
▸ Rotary Table: Hydrostatic precision rotary table, accuracy +-1um (optional built-in DD direct-drive servo motor)
