MACHINE HIGHLIGHTS
EVERY MACHINE,
BROKEN DOWN.
Eight centerless grinding systems, broken down to the tolerances, controls, and automation that define them. Pick a machine to view the highlights.
12x8 Hi-Accuracy Infeed
THE HIGHLIGHTS
9 Nanometer Glass Scale — 1/4 Micron Diameter Compensations
Sub-micron positioning is standard. The glass scale closes the loop on diameter control at levels other machines can’t reach.
8" Wide Grinding Wheel — Straddle Bearing Design
The width enables multi-part infeed grinding in a single cycle. Straddle bearing design adds rigidity for heavy, consistent cuts.
8" Thick Starrett Granite Surface Plate — Lapped to .0002" Flatness
The machine base is a precision reference surface. Thermal stability and flatness are built into the foundation, not added on.
Four Grinding Wheel Dressing Options
Standard template, automatic template, single-point CNC, and rotary disk CNC dressing. Match the dress profile to the application.
24" Three-Panel Touchscreen Control
All process data, compensation controls, and machine status in one interface. Built for operators running complex, high-volume applications.
Automation from Operator Assist to Full Robotic Cells
The platform is designed to scale. Add automation at the level the application requires, today or in the future.
Post-Process Gauging Integration
Gauge feedback closes the compensation loop automatically. Pair with data collection for 24-hour production environments.
12x4 Servo Cycle
THE HIGHLIGHTS
Schneeberger Ball Screw + Servo Infeed — Optional Glass Scale for Closed Loop
Glass scale option gives you closed-loop positioning feedback for the most demanding diameter control requirements.
Four Dressing Options — All Programmable, No Hydraulics
Standard over-the-wheel template, automatic template dressing, or CNC over-the-wheel dressing. Every option is fully programmable.
15" Dual-Panel Touchscreen — Intuitive Daily Operation
Two panels visible simultaneously keep process data and machine controls in front of the operator at all times.
Programmable Infeed Cycles — Saved and Recalled by Name
Build a library of jobs. Pull up any program by file name. No re-entering parameters between runs.
Quarter-Micron Thrufeed Positioning — 0.000,010" Resolution
Fine positioning for thrufeed applications where diameter consistency over length is critical.
Automation Ready — Operator Assist to Full Robotics
Compatible with the full range of automation, from basic operator assist devices to collaborative robots and post-process gauging.
12×4 Hi-Accuracy Infeed with FANUC Collaborative Robot
THE HIGHLIGHTS
FANUC Collaborative Robot + Feedall — Running Live at IMTS
The machine at the show runs FANUC collaborative robot with Schunk end effectors paired with a Feedall feeding table grinding a precision power tool component.
Single-Digit Micron Roundness
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.
Four Dressing Options — Two CNC Options Included
Standard template, automatic template, single-point CNC, and rotary disk CNC. Profile flexibility for any application.
9 Nanometer Glass Scale — 1/4 Micron Diameter Control
Same precision diameter axis as the standard Hi-Accuracy platform. CNC dressing adds profile capability without sacrificing diameter performance.
Best Machine for the Job
You have that tight tolerance hydraulic valve: this is the machine. When you think of the tightest of tolerance jobs: this is the machine.
Automation That Makes Sense
Automation solutions that meet the needs of the customer and their requirements.
Post Process Gauging — Closed Loop with AI Analysis
Working with multiple gauging partners including Keyence, the system measures your part and feeds diameter compensations back to the machine automatically. On-board AI analyzes the collected data and provides process improvement suggestions.
12x8 Thrufeed
THE HIGHLIGHTS
Holds .0002" Over Bar Length — Up to 1.5" Diameter
Consistent diameter control from end to end. Bar grinding at this tolerance is production-ready, not a best-case result.
Grinding Wheel Options for all Materials Including Superalloys
Wheel width enables proper specification matching for difficult materials. Superalloys, stainless, tool steel — the wheel can be spec’d for it.
Rigid Outboard Supports
Supports are fixed square and lock in place. Setup is repeatable and fast.
Auto Loader Compatible — Continuous Bar Feed
Optional auto loader keeps bars flowing without constant operator attention. Pairs well with lights-out production environments.
12x8 Wheel Geometry — More Material Per Pass
The wider contact area removes more material per pass compared to a 4″ wide wheel. Fewer passes, higher throughput.
HDS Machine
THE HIGHLIGHTS
There is nothing else like it — fully automated production grinding of strange and awkward parts.
Load up enough parts to run 28 pallets and walk away - no operator attention needed
XXXXXX
Program using CAM software or the on-board machine wizards.
XXXXXXXXXXXXX
A 15" dual panel touchscreen makes every interaction simple and easy.
XXXXXXXXXXXXX
12x4 Hi-Accuracy 7 Axis with CNC Rotary Diamond Disk Dressing
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.
12x4 Thrufeed Microsize
THE HIGHLIGHTS
30" x 54" Footprint — Smallest in the Royal Master Lineup
Fits in floor space where larger machines can’t go. No compromises on accuracy.
Micron Diameter Compensations via Pulse Generator
Precise size adjustments in 1 micron increments. Consistent diameter control across every run.
.002" to 1.5" Diameter Capacity
Covers a wide range of parts without tooling changes or machine swaps.
12" x 4" Grinding Wheel / 6" Regulating Wheel
Standard geometry optimized for thrufeed applications across all common materials.
No Hydraulics — All Servo Driven Axis Including Dressers
Clean, consistent, and responsive. No warm-up time waiting for hydraulic systems to stabilize.
Straightforward Setup and Operation
Designed for operators who need to run parts, not manage complexity. Easy to set up, easy to run.
