HI-ACCURACY WITH CNC DRESSING
12x4
Hi-Accuracy
With 7 Axis CNC Rotary Diamond Disk Dressing
.000,01 Diameter compensations, single-digit micron roundness. Production enviroment-proven.
The 12×4 Hi-Accuracy is where customers focus when the tightest of tolerances and the most unique geometries of parts are presented. Using a .0009mm (9 nanometer) glass scale on the diameter positioning axis, the tightest of tolerances are need to be held. All of this accuracy is built on top of an 8” thick Strarrett granite surface plate making the machine highly capable for smaller production runs or high volume production when tenths of a second count! The upgraded interface and advanced HMI makes operator interaction seamless.

THE STORY BEHIND THE PART
Every part we grind at the show has a story behind it. The 12×4 Hi-Accuracy with CNC Rotary Diamond Disk Dressing is grinding a hydraulic valve from a Ford 830A backhoe — three diameters, a taper, and a shoulder, loaded by pick and place and delivered straight to a gauging station. Watch the full story behind the part.
THE SOLUTION FOR YOUR CHALLENGE
TIGHT TOLERANCES NEED A MACHINE ENGINEERED TO HOLD THEM
NOT ONE MODIFIED TO TRY
3-Axis CNC dressing on grinding wheel
CNC dressing whether stationary or rotary tooled is critical for many part geometries. Our system meets these challenges with 0.1 micron resolution on each axis.
7 total axis
7 axis of CNC control gives you the tools to grind virtually any part of any geometry out of any material.

Thrufeed grind with fine resolution positioning to 0.000,010″ of an inch or 1/4-micron increments
WHAT SETS IT APART
THE HIGHLIGHTS
Data Integration — On-Board or Connected to Facility Systems
On-board data collection standard. Integrates with in-house data management and SPC platforms.
9 Nanometer Glass Scale — 1/4 Micron Diameter Compensations
Closed-loop positioning at the sub-micron level. Quarter-micron compensation steps are routine, not exceptional.
Single-Digit Micron Roundness — Achievable in Production
Not a lab result. This is production performance, repeatable across shift and volume.
8" Thick Starrett Granite Base — Lapped to .0002" Flatness
Thermal stability and surface precision are engineered into the base. The machine holds what it’s set to hold.
24" Three-Panel Touchscreen — Gauge Feedback + Data Collection
All controls, compensation data, and gauging feedback in one interface. Built for high-mix, high-precision environments.
Four Dressing Options Including Two CNC Options
Standard template, automatic template, single-point CNC, and rotary disk CNC. Profile flexibility for any application.
Dual-Head Pick and Place — Load, Grind, Gauge in Sequence
First jaw places the part between the wheels. Second jaw pulls the finished part and delivers it directly to the gauging station. No manual handling between grind and inspection.
