Cycle
Grind to under one micron round and straight
The 12×4 Servo Cycle handles everything a production shop can throw at it. Hundreds of available accessories cover applications from .002″ wire to 1.500″ diameter, and 12-foot bar stock — infeed, thrufeed, or both in the same week.

THE STORY BEHIND THE PART
Every part we grind at the show has a story behind it. The 12×4 Servo Cycle is grinding a bottom bracket from a broken eBike — a real part, from a real repair, set up and ground in one pass. A damaged motor mount, two diameters that needed to be straight and true to each other. Nate, our customer application engineer, brought his son into the shop to fix it together. Watch the full story behind the part.
THE SOLUTION FOR YOUR CHALLENGE
YOUR SHOP DOESN'T GRIND JUST ONE THING.
VERSITILITY IS ITS CORE STRENGTH
Infeed and thrufeed in 30 minute changeovers
The Servo Cycle switches between both with minumal component changes. Same footprint. Same control.
Grind different parts
There isn’t a part geometry that we don’t have an answer for. 5 minute grinding wheel changes make for seamless and specific setups.
You want tight diameter control without complexity.
Programmable infeed cycles are saved and recalled by name. Quarter-micron positioning is standard, not an upgrade.
