Roll-grinding equipment (roll-grinding machines)

In its program, Production and Engineering Company ENCE GmbH highlights the most significant metallurgical equipment; this equipment complies with the highest international quality standards and may be offered to customers at competitive prices.

Technical Proposal
Description

Engineering company ENCE GmbH offers a wide range of auxiliary equipment for repairs and reconditioning of replacement and rapidly wearing parts to complete rolling mills, coiled steel hot dip galvanizing lines , steel strip colour and polymer coating lines, automatic steel strip pickling lines and sheet bending equipment.

Company ENCE GmbH offers a wide array of automatic CNC roll-grinding machines for grinding of work and backup rolls of rolling mills (hot and cold rolling), rolls of colour and polymer coating line tempering mills, rollers, bottom drums and other cylindrical surfaces of the parts that are intensively operated in basic metallurgical production.

Completely automatic roll-grinding CNC-machines are designed for operation in heavy duty, moderate duty and low duty modes and ensure the following:

  • Excellent control of dimensional tolerances of the processed parts,
  • Strict compliance with machined surface quality requirements,
  • High reliability of roll-grinding equipment during operation,
  • Conformity of the machine design to the latest manufacturing requirements
  • Roll-grinding machine is equipped with modern instruments and user-friendly software.

Distinctive features of the construction
  • Soft adjustment of longitudinal speed movement of work table by means of roll-grindingmachine hydraulic drive
  • Duplication of machine work table movement by means of hand wheel
  • Work table track has special nano-coating with hydrostatic feed lubrication
  • Apart from cylindrical surfaces design of roll-grinding machines allows to grind convex and concave surfaces including steering knuckles.
  • Grinding head can be quickly moved by hydraulic drive in the directions of feed and return movement allowing for short-time automatic repeat mode as well as for manual control of incremental feed.
  • Grinding headspindle is fitted with a fluid-film bearing to enhance quality of operation.
  • Processed part is rotated by AC motor controlled by frequency converter to ensure soft adjustment of cylindrical part rotational speed.
  • Dressing device of grinding wheel is installed on tailstock
  • Cooling tank is equipped with magnetic separator and paper filter for removing all kinds of pollutants
  • Can be optionally completed with accessories including automatic device for measuring diameter, roundness, cylindricity of a processed part and allowing for error formation control, further data processing and printing of accumulated errors
