The New APS Precision Surface Grinding Machine
This Superior Precision surface grinder has been developed & designed in the UK by a market leader in grinding technology to European standards and requirements, and offers a cost effective solution to your precision toolroom grinding needs.
Its robust construction, low friction saddle with wide support, ensures high quality and a rigid stable workstation.

- The Instrument Quality control panel, fitted to all models, is ergonomically positioned, operator friendly, and has a Touch Sensitive operation.
- There is a 2 rate Hand Pulse Generator and 2 rates of intermittent or continuous down feeds.
- PLC controlled to give logical and clear, sophisticated cycles.
- Both metric & imperial measurements are selectable as a standard feature. Also built in controls for powered magnetic chuck and coolant.
- The machine carries a two year parts & labour warranty with a planned maintenance service contract.

The vertical slide is constructed using highly sensitive, linear bearing guideways. They support a Heavy Duty direct drive ball bearing spindle with the choice of 3hp or 5hp motors.
The filtered and monitored no loss gravity fed Lubrication system feeds the low friction table & cross slides. High accuracy, long life ballscrews drive the downfeed and crossfeed and are adequately protected against abrasive wear & tear.
