EMO NEWS 2/4: Norma NGC 750 grinds geometrically complex compressor screws with high precision
The application demonstrates all of its strengths: the long version of the 5-axis Norma NGC with a 750 mm X-stroke is rock-solid, precise, and compact. Together with Quinto Qg1, it masters a wide range of precision parts manufacturing tasks.
Compressor screws are used in compressed air systems, refrigeration technology, and process gas compressors. The more precise the screw geometry, the more efficient and resource-saving the end product. That is why investing in a SCHNEEBERGER quality machine is worthwhile.
The Quinto Qg1 CAD/CAM software with 3D model import is the first choice for unlimited component geometry. Based on the screw shape, Qg1 calculates the resulting form grinding wheel in just a few clicks, with or without pitch. The SCHNEEBERGER dressing spindle is an important component for success. Extremely thermally stable, with speeds of up to 12,000 rpm,
the dressing parameters are freely selectable.
Held between centers, the compressor screw is perfectly aligned. The driver drives it precisely, free of transverse forces and backlash. With 50 mm wide grinding wheels, a powerful grinding spindle, and process cooling with a high volume flow, the Norma NGC is an efficient production machine.
