Five-axis tool cutter and grinding machine—J. Schneeberger, booth B-7053 - Grinding/Abrasive Machining Equipment - advertisement - Brief Article

The Corvus GDS with new wheelhead design features a double-ended direct drive wheel spindle for up to six wheels and is vertically mounted on the rigid, box-type column. The company's fixed-table bed-type design is said to allow for a wide range of options, such as a fast A axis for cylindrical grinding, dressing devices, wheel sticking, tool supports and optical profile checking.

For large tools, the machine is available in 17", 26", 44", 67" and 118" X-axis configurations, as well as 13-, 20- and 34-hp spindles. Automatic loading options include two or four pallet loading robots for large production runs, carousel loaders for heavy tools mounted in IS050 toolholders or low-cost internal loading solutions. It is also available with a special sixth axis on the spindle head for grinding flat, helical and cylindrical broaches, as well as standard shop tools.
