The SMART grinder does the calculations so the operator doesn’t need to. The SMART-III controller is easy to learn, easy to operate and easy to maintain. Users with no programming experience can create custom programs for the most demanding tasks. Remote diagnostics constantly monitor the SMART-III grinder. Problems are discovered early and remotely repaired to maintain maximum uptime. New function. Users can create their own grinding programs to achieve complex grinding tasks with only one cycle to increase production efficiency. It reduces the need for single block and dry runs, avoids crashing while test-running new programs and greatly reduces setup time. Grinds 5 rms micro finishes on highly accurately ground workpieces. Position accuracy is +/- 1 µm, repeatability accuracy is 1 µm and grinding accuracy is 1 µm. Easily switch between manual, semi-automatic, fully automatic or CNC options. The PLC controller provides grind cycles with rough grinding, fine grinding, spark-out passes. Keeps the diamond in constant contact with the wheel and never wastes time cutting air. Greatly reduces initial dress times from hours to minutes, increasing productivity.
