The 1280 Series Jig Grinder is available in three models (CPZ, CPZ-E and CPWZ)to address your specific precision grinding requirements. These CNC-controlledjig grinding machines have multiple, programmable axes (four simultaneouslycontrolled) for complex two- and three-dimensional features.

Expansion of the basic 2-axis system is simple. One can have up to 4 axes of continuous path motion via the addition of C & B or C & Y. The C-axis motion control of the work spindle enables toric, biconic, and other freeform surfaces to be machined “on-axis” via our Slow Slide Servo (S3) process. Our Air Bearing Rotary B or removable Oil Hydrostatic Vertical Linear Y-axis can be configured independently on the Z-axis carriage for future added flexibility.

The machine features our latest advancements in “precision engineered” designs and components. These include ultra stiff oil hydrostatic bearing slide ways and state-of-the-art dual “iron-less” linear motor drives which eliminate any backlash or hysteresis in the axis motion. The base is designed for high damping, thermal compatibility with the slide components and for long life corrosion resistance against cutting fluids. It has been engineered as a single monolithic structure with an enclosed bridge to provide maximum structural stiffness both statically and dynamically in order to optimize complex roughing and finishing operations while achieving a much higher geometric accuracy.
