Cincinnati Centerless Grinder Rebuild #2
A leading global manufacturer of pumps and motors faced a challenge: their existing 1985 Cincinnati 350-20 RK centerless grinder, while reliable, couldn’t meet the demands of their new line of motor shafts. They needed a solution that combined the proven quality of their existing equipment with the efficiency and precision required for modern production.
From Evaluation to Top-to-Bottom Remanufacturing
The journey began with a thorough evaluation of the machine and understanding the client’s specific production needs. GCH experts then proposed a comprehensive grinder remanufacturing plan, aiming to not just restore the grinder’s functionality but significantly enhance its capabilities.
MACHINE REVAMPED FOR PRODUCTION OF NEW LINE OF MOTOR SHAFTS
Cincinnati 350-20 RK Centerless
Modernizing Every Aspect: Components, Upgrades, and Automation
The remanufacturing went beyond simple part replacements. GCH Machinery designed and built a custom magazine loader, streamlining the feeding process. Obsolete mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, lubrication and cooling systems were replaced with cutting-edge components, ensuring reliability and optimal performance.
Precision Meets Ease of Use: CNC Control and Post-Process Gauging
For effortless operation and consistent accuracy, the original controls were replaced with a full CNC Fanuc controller. This user-friendly interface allows for quick programming and precise grinding tasks. Additionally, a post-process gauge was integrated to automatically inspect each machined part, guaranteeing quality control within tight tolerances.
The Results: Increased Efficiency, Enhanced Precision, and a Cost-Effective Solution
The revitalized centerless grinder became a key asset in the production of the new motor shafts. The automation module boosted efficiency, while the upgraded components and CNC control delivered unmatched precision. Perhaps most importantly, the remanufactured machine offered a cost-effective alternative to purchasing entirely new equipment.
