6 Reasons to Choose the WPG 7
1. Precision and Process Reliability
The WPG 7 ensures consistent, high-quality results with its rigid design that eliminates disruptive vibrations and optimally manages heat transfer. Key precision features include:
- High-precision in-process measurement for real-time adjustments.
- Passive longitudinal positioning for stable workpiece placement.
- Automatic balancing system for reduced downtime.
- GAP and crash control to protect the machine during operation.
2. Speed and Versatility
Choose between two configurations:
- Straight Grinding (0°)
- Angular Plunge Grinding (30°)
With a powerful grinding wheel drive capable of speeds up to 50m/s, and a grinding wheel diameter of up to 500 mm (CBN or corundum), the WPG 7 excels in fast, efficient operations.
3. Automation for Maximum Efficiency
The WPG 7 supports both manual and automated loading systems. It integrates seamlessly with:
- Chain conveyors
- Pallet circulation systems
- Robot automation
Thanks to an integrated loader and short travel distances, workpiece changeover times are minimized, keeping your production line running smoothly.
4. Simple and User-Friendly Controls
The machine’s Fanuc CNC control (Oi-D series) simplifies grinding cycle programming. Operators can input a minimal number of parameters to achieve the desired grinding cycle, with all common grinding cycles preloaded in the control system.
5. Compact Design for Space Optimization
Say goodbye to oversized grinding machines! The WPG 7 occupies just 1.8 x 2.4 meters – making it one of the most space-efficient solutions in its class. This includes the electrical cabinet, lubrication and cooling systems – all in under four-square meters.
6. Fast and Easy Setup
Transportation and setup are hassle-free. The machine fits on two Euro pallets and can be installed in under four hours. Once on-site, it only requires power and compressed air to get started – no complex adjustments needed.
