Processing Principle

 

YOUR BENEFITS AT A GLANCE

Thanks to Microfinish / Superfinish machining, the roundness and roughness of the relevant anti-friction bearing surfaces are significantly improved, thus delivering the highest levels of quality. After machining, the anti-friction bearings also display a higher load-bearing capacity and longer service life, as well as lower noise emissions.

  • Increase in precision and performance thanks to innovative Microfinish / Superfinish precision machining
  • Increased flexibility through several tool oscillation units in one machine, e.g. for ball or roller bearing raceways
  • Universal machine platforms for all anti-friction bearing types
  • Short set-up times thanks to the menu-driven set-up and work piece visualisation on the monitor
  • Interactive online direct service via the Internet

SHORTEST MACHINING TIMES AND IMPROVED QUALITY WITH HYPERFINISH®

When working with innovative HyperFinish® technology you will achieve up to 35% shorter machining times and even greater work piece quality.

Your increased productivity will allow you to do without additional machining stations and/or machines, resulting in operational cost savings. Your benefits:

  • Approximately 20% shorter machining times thanks to a greater tool distance in the time unit
  • Up to 4 μm more material removal thanks to a higher level of tool cutting capability
  • Improved quality and form parameters thanks to a reduced oscillation angle
  • Approximately 30% less investment through the use of a 1-station machine instead of a 2-station machine
