Promising more to result at IMTS, Toyoda Machinery, Arlington Heights, Ill., showcased brace new machines at the fresh Eastec show: a "three-in-one" universal grinder and a high-speed horizontal machining center
The flexibility of the novel GU4-R grinder, reports Toyoda, follows from an automated swiveling wheelhead. In fact, the CNC-controll turret-style wheelhead allows users perform a number of different grinding operations in a single setup at automatically changing from straight to angle to I.D. wheels, depending forward the application.
