Surface Grinders
The Problem
Our customer required several machines to grind the internal bore of minature collets used for drilling in the production of printed circuit boards. The collet and drill rotates at 500,000 rpm so concentricity is vital, an off the shelf machine was not available.
The Solution
We took an old Jones & Shipman Model 1070 machine and replaced all internal components with ball screws and servo drives, a new PLC control was fitted and programmed to the customers needs. Workheads and grinding spindles were supplied by the customer, the UK’s leading Air Bearings Manufacturer.
