Medical Manufacturing Technologies Inc. (MMT) will highlight its precision Glebar centerless and Tridex electrochemical grinding and cutoff equipment solutions at IMTS 2024, Booth 237307 in the North Building from September 9-14 in Chicago, IL. The company will showcase the Tridex DM-12 CNC grinding wheel dressing machine, the Tridex CS1-E burr-free electrochemical cutoff machine, and the Glebar GT-610 centerless grinder integrated with a high-accuracy 5-axis pick-and-place robot, demonstrating advanced capabilities in grinding technology.
MMT recently announced the launch of its latest innovation, the Tridex DM-12 CNC Grinding Wheel Dressing Machine. This advanced machine sets a new standard in precision off-line grinding wheel dressing, offering unmatched capabilities and seamless integration into manufacturing processes. Capable of dressing wheels up to 12" (310mm) in diameter and 9.4" (240mm) in width, the DM-12 accommodates various wheel sizes, providing unparalleled versatility for a wide range of applications.
"We are thrilled to unveil the Tridex DM-12 CNC grinding wheel dressing machine," expressed Robbie Atkinson, chief executive officer at MMT. "This machine underscores our dedication to providing state-of-the-art solutions that empower manufacturers to achieve exceptional throughput and precision in their grinding processes."
The DM-12 is designed as a standalone solution, offering off-line precision dressing for wheels up to 12" (310mm) in diameter and 9.4" (240mm) in width. This versatility allows manufacturers to achieve optimal performance across various grinding applications. Its interchangeable arbors ensure compatibility across all in-feed, thru-feed, and OD/ID grinders using wheels within the size envelope.
One of the standout features of the DM-12 CNC is its ability to handle aggressively hard electrochemical resin bonded wheels used on Tridex ECG grinding machines. This capability makes it an indispensable tool for industries requiring high precision and efficiency in their grinding processes.
The DM-12 CNC enables users to shape wheels offline, allowing for uninterrupted production and optimizing grinder efficiency. Its fully CNC-controlled system ensures precise dressing of custom wheel geometries, guaranteeing utmost accuracy and consistency in every operation.
