Bringing CNC grinding machines back to peak performance with FANUC retrofit solutions

Modern production environments demand precision, reliability and ease of operation. However, many existing CNC grinding machines are no longer equipped to meet these requirements due to outdated control systems and ageing components.

ESOMA restores CNC grinding machines to like‑new performance with FANUC retrofit solutions

ESOMA addressed this challenge by redesigning and modernising the entire machine architecture. The project included the development of a new electronics cabinet, integrating both hardware and software, alongside the implementation of a fully customised Human‑Machine Interface tailored to the application requirements.

Retificação CNC

A retificação é um processo de maquinação de precisão que utiliza uma roda abrasiva como ferramenta de corte para remover material de uma peça de trabalho. Permite obter acabamentos finos e dimensões exactas, especialmente em materiais duros. O processo envolve uma roda abrasiva rotativa que raspa o material para atingir a forma e o tamanho desejados e é essencial para criar superfícies planas, cilíndricas ou cónicas no fabrico moderno.
