QUBE

Space savings of up to 75% through

• consistent vertical grinding machine concept
• multiple machines can be linked
• integrated assemblies

Fast loading through

• simpler internal automation components due to compact vertical design
• higher dynamics during loading [t=s/v]
• short distances due to compact shape: Short auxiliary times, fast change times
• simplified measuring stations (work piece already in measurement position)
• consistent use of linear drive technology

Energy efficiency through

• cooling of grinding spindles with coolant instead of water
• conceptually dispenses with flooding of components
• peripherals in a simplified version: cooling system, exhaust, fire extinguishing system (air
• consumption and cooling power up to 30%, power up to 15%)

Wear-free assemblies:

• hydrostatic axes with ball screw with short-stroke or feed axes: Stiff, fast, wear-free
• hydrostatic workpiece spindles of the highest precision

Highest thermal stability through:

• TOP-DOWN coolant guide and minimal thermal load on the vertical machine bed
• coolant leaves assemblies immediately
• circulatory flow in the lower machine bed area is thermally insulated, no direct contact with heated coolant

Gravitational use

• no disruption of the process by chips due to gravity
• grinding chips flow from the workpiece directly downward
• no bending stress on vertical spindles or mandrels

Excellent accessibility thanks to compact design

• movable units offer best Access
• practically zero-maintenance: Directly driven work spindles (without belts, with life-time grease lubrication or hydrostatic)
• dense / easily accessible units/devices

Modularity principle

• open formats for module assemblies on vertical machine bed
• optimum axle configuration
• linking of multiple QUBE machines is possible
