EMO NEWS 1/4: SCHNEEBERGER celebrates the world premiere of the latest generation of Gemini NGM TAP
The newly developed special version of the Gemini is aimed at top-class tap production. It has never been so easy and efficient, because the new Gemini NGM TAP grinds threads, cutting edges, and flutes with great power.
Thread grinding in horizontal oscillation direction
When grinding grooves, every second counts, along with spindle power and optimal process cooling
Dressing the grinding wheels with in-house SCHNEEBERGER technology
Robotic loading with double gripper and four 300 x 300 mm pallets
Several clamping devices are available depending on customer preference
Gemini NGM TAP, the machine for renowned manufacturers
The powerful 24 kW spindle (S1), direct-drive axes, and rock-solid machine construction make it possible. The All-in-One machine concept scores with batch size flexibility, short setup times, and reduced personnel costs thanks to a short production chain.
Efficient thread grinding is possible thanks to the highly dynamic Y-axis. Weight-optimized and directly driven, the axis oscillates so slightly that it is barely noticeable to the eye. SCHNEEBERGER draws on its many years of experience in linear motor technology for this application.
At EMO, the process will be demonstrated on M4 and M8 thread taps, each with straight and spiral flutes. Unidirectional coolant nozzles optimized for the application enable short cycle times for all processes.
The new dressing unit from SCHNEEBERGER with acoustic sensor shapes the threaded disc. A second dressing roller shapes the grooved disc. The results are precise and reliable, even in 24/7 operation. Robotic loading, a core competence of SCHNEEBERGER, is a matter of course for a TAP production machine. Four or, optionally, ten pallets meet all requirements for modern production autonomy.
SCHNEEBERGER is delighted to open this new chapter with the trade fair audience. Come by and let our tap enthusiasm rub off on you. Hall 11, Booth E78.
