CASE STUDY
Precision and Efficiency in Roller Ring Production
OBJECTIVE
The client wished to achieve a balance between precision and efficiency in grinding operations for roller rings. The engineering challenge was to reach precise tolerances in parallelism, flatness, and surface finish to comply with stringent global quality standards, while also enhancing the production rate, thus reducing cycle times without quality compromise.
SOLUTION
Alex Machine Tools provided the Double Disk Grinding solution with a fully automated Grind Cycle – Automatic loading, post process gaging right after the job left the grinding wheel, automated unload with poke yoke error proofing.
Double disk grinding simultaneously removed material from both sides of the rollers. Our machines are designed to be able to carry the rollers in such a manner through the grinding wheels that achieves the desired finish, pattern, parallelism and flatness desired. This is our strength. Machine design for process optimization and part success.
Process Capability was maximized through our innovative method of post process gaging at the machine out put itself. This combined with a fully automated dress cycle, leaves no room for operator error or invention, maximizing cycle time.
