Grinding machines for other operations (grinding centres)

Machines from the GAS model range are used for processing external threads and similar profiles. Typical components for these machines are external ball screws for automotive steering systems, as well as drive worms and small pumps and metering components. In line with the shaft-type geometry of the components, these machines are designed with a horizontal workpiece axis and have correspondingly long travelling paths. Parts are machined by discontinuous profile grinding only; the tool concept is adapted to the corresponding component requirements: non-dressable CBN profile grinding wheels and dressable ceramic grinding wheels For specific applications, various tools can also be combined.

Machines of this type are used for the hard and soft finishing of internal threads in ball screw tracks or similar profiles. Typical applications besides vehicle steering are recirculating ball screws in the field of automotive. Parts are machined by discontinuous profile grinding. Non-dressable CBN profile grinding wheels are exclusively used, typically in a combination of roughing and finishing tools.
