NL Machine Tool distributes Monza grinders

NL Machine Tool Consulting has announced that it is the exclusive UK distributor for Italian manufacturer Officine Monzesi.

Officine Monzesi is the manufacturer of Viotto single and double disc grinders, Monvibro vibratory bowl/linear feeding units and bespoke automatic loading/unloading systems and Monza centreless grinding machines.

The company is also launching a line of modular CNC centreless grinding machines.

The Monza Line 20 is based upon robustness, reliability and ergonomic layout.

The range provides CNC solutions from one to eight axis, in six sizes, with grinding wheel from 300mm OD x 100mm wide, up to 610mm OD x 500mm wide, capable of grinding work pieces with a diameter up to 200mm, allowing high levels of stock removal with high standards of accuracy.

The machine base consists of an oversized one-piece cast-iron multiple-box section structure - heavily ribbed, vibration free and thermodynamically stable.

Electronically interlocked safety protection (guarding) provides a high level of operator safety and environmental protection, yet allows easy access to the grinding area for machine set-up or when manual loading is required.

Working carriage modification allows grinding of smaller component diameters even when the driving wheel is completely used.

The dressing process, when not controlled by CNC, has been transformed from hydraulic to electric, thus avoiding potential problems related to oil hydraulics.

All motors are digital, including the regulating wheel rotation.

The grinding wheel motor can be set to continuous constant surface speed.

Fully automatic wheel balancing is available as an option.

The Monza Line 20 range of centreless grinding machines equipped with Fanuc CNC control systems and Officine Monzesi software provide CNC programs that are designed to monitor and analyse the grinding cycle and allow the operator to work without using ISO programming.

This flexibility allows the grinding cycle to be changed quickly and the set-up time to be reduced.

A wide variety of application-specific loading/unloading systems are available as well as different types of post-process gauging systems, providing feedback information and automatic machine adjustment.
