TAICHUNG, Taiwan — DKSH, the Market Expansion Services provider with a focus on Asia held a Studer seminar in Taichung. Daniel Huber, Head of Internal Grinding of Studer, introduced wide ranges of the company’s new machine tools, he also cited that currently the company’s market share in internal cylindrical (ID) grinding machine is 8.6 percent, “We hope to increase our market share to 20 percent.”
The wide ranges of Studer’s ID machine cover from Basic, Univeral, Radius and Production type of machine. For example, the S110 and the S120 are the basic type of machine.
Daniel Huber introduced the S110, a different very compact machine concept. The workpiece is moved on the cross-slide, while the grinding spindles are mounted in a fixed position to the base of the machine. This guarantees stability, offers good accessibility for set-up or workpiece change, and is easily automatable.
“The spindle set-up, with up to 3 HF grinding spindles in a linear arrangement, can be optimally designed to meet customer requirements. The ideal machine for chuck applications for individual components up to small-batch production. A cost-effective solution for high-precision automated grinding can be achieved with the optional, fully integrated automatic loading and unloading system.” added Daniel Huber.
The S141 is a differernt story, which is a Universal ID grinding machine. “The S141 is the CNC universal internal cylindrical grinding machine of the latest generation. It has a host of sophisticated technical features such as the revolutionary StuderGuide guide system, high-precision axis drives with linear motors, extremely fast direct drive of the grinding spindle turret, automatic swiveling of the workpiece table, etc.” said Daniel Huber.
Three sizes of S141 are available for workpiece lengths of 300 mm, 700 mm and 1300 mm (11.8", 27.5" and 51.1"). For all models the maximum internal grinding length is 250 mm (9.8") and the external length is 150 mm (5.9"). Daniel Huber said, “The S141 is the ideal machine for grinding spindle shafts, spindle housings, rotor shafts, axes or flange parts. Many workpieces are in the areas of machine tools, drive elements, aerospace and toolmaking.”
To sum up, Studer is ready to meet all the needs from customers by providing all these new machines.
