The ShapeSmart®NP50 is ideal not only for preparing cylindrical blanks, but also for non-round applications, thanks to the new patented method of pinch and peel grinding, developed by Rollomatic and called SmartPunch™.
The newly design workhead with direct drive offers more rigidity and a precise indexing control, especially for applications requiring flat surfaces, threads as well as for non-round punches. The gripper adapter on the loader is now interchangeable and easily adjustable or replaceable.
Each wheel arbor can accept up to 2 grinding wheels and combined with the CNC-controlled tool rotational axis, operations for medical and dental applications can be performed, such as quick-disconnect features requiring indexed flats, grooves and cylindrical portions.
