Hi New to the forum and was hoping to get a little bit of help.
I'm looking for an alternative to the Makino CNJ5u-H for cutting & grinding tooling http://www.makinoseiki.co.jp/english.../cnj5u/01.html, ideally from a Euro maker.

You should look for NumRoto software. It is hands down the best software out there.
www.numroto.com
They have a list of machine manufaturers that use their software. I have personally used Star machines and have been extremely pleased.
This is the machine that I run ( http://www.schuttetgm.com/305.htm ). This machine & the Schutte software are great.
- 5-axis (A,C,X,Y,Z)
- 5-wheelpack magazine
- Windows XP
- Siemens 840D (open)
- Linear motors (thats correct! )
Video of the machine in action (not my video).

Very nice machine Switcher! I like the drawer design wheel changer, ours uses a carousel - 4 position, they just came out with a 6, though I don't quite see the use for it myself.
Those linear motors definetly haul @ss!
Thanks for the help
I contacted Schütte in Germany at the start of this project, but never got a response. I will have to contact them again, more so now that I have pulled out of discussions with Walter.
Also looking at the TX7+ from ANCA http://www.anca.com.au/Products/Machines/TX7.aspx
Charles, what type of tools are you grinding?
The Walter is a great drill pointing machine... and that's about where it ends.
To be honest I have no idea, I’m only the buyer. Only know that the tooling os for the production of mobile phone chassis.
The specs for the machines I have found have been reviewed by the project engineer in our production team. I am guessing it was him that had selected the Makino machine in the first place.
Schutte also has a smaller & larger machine (besides the 305).
About the only thing that the linear motors are prob. good for is rapids, a grinding wheel can only handle so much.
Is the Anca the machine that has the dressing wheel mounted on the A-axis all the time? I like that idea a lot, that would save on setup time.

We have about 10 of these machines in the shop I work at.

They are nice because they have a robotic arm in the machine for changing parts. we leave ours running throughout the weekend with nobody around for lights out machining. They are very nice machines.
Good morning,
Does anybody have documentation on a Schütte WU 32 CNC 3 tool & cutter grinder?
