CNC Grinding
Grinding is a precision machining process using an abrasive wheel as a cutting tool to remove material from a workpiece. It achieves fine finishes and accurate dimensions, particularly on hard materials. The process involves a rotating abrasive wheel that shaves off material to reach the desired shape and size, and is essential for creating flat, cylindrical, or conical surfaces in modern manufacturing.
Elevate Your Machining with FANUC's CNC Solutions
In order to maximise surface quality and throughput on CNC grinding applications it is important that your CNC supports software that gets the best out of your machining process by combining speed and accuracy. Regardless of whether your application involves cylindrical grinding to improve the surfaces on turned workpieces, flat grinding to create shapes and surfaces, or 5 axis grinding to make tools, these features ensure high rates of throughput, fast cycle times, precision finishes as well as maximum machine safety and reliability.
