Technical Excellence Meets Efficiency
The ELB SMART DB10 XPRESSCUBE stands out with a spindle power of 22 kW, a maximum rotational speed of 4,000 rpm, and a cutting speed of up to 63 m/s. Thanks to its fully enclosed work area, the machine ensures not only the highest precision but also a safe and clean working environment.
A dual workpiece cooling system guarantees optimal results when grinding hardened materials, fully leveraging the benefits of CNB grinding wheels. With a large table size (1,000 x 600 mm) and a load capacity of up to 1,000 kg, the machine is specifically designed for larger components. Its precise ball screw drive with a servo motor ensures reliable and accurate processing.
Workplace Optimization Increases Efficiency
The introduction of this advanced machine was accompanied by a reorganization of workstations. The grinding machines were arranged in a U-shape, enabling the simultaneous operation of three machines. This facilitated the implementation of a three-shift work cycle and significantly increased production capacity.
A specially developed clamping device drastically reduces the time required for aligning and securing components – a key advantage for productivity. Additional measures, such as reducing grinding allowances and using alignment plates under sliding elements, further contributed to a notable capacity increase.
