Freelance journalist Edwin Neugebauer recognizes the core values of the Aries NGP: "The four versions, including the T-slot table, offer the customer flexible application options". And always with a keen eye on technical advancements: "The grinding spindles are produced in-house at Schneeberger, they are cooled, powerful and rigidly designed".
The focus of the machine test is on the Qg1 CAD/CAM software. "The functionalities are clearly presented, swiftly activated and one gets to a complete grinding process very quickly (< 2 min) with all the offered functions." "From the database - Toogle - the operator selects from over 800 preprogramed tool grinding programs and with that arrives at a finished program in just three steps."
The Aries NGP achieves pleasantly high scores in the categories of machine commissioning (22.5/25), ease of maintenance (97.5/100), automation (93/100), control (50/50), ease of changeover (47.5/50) and service (69/75).
