for disrupting the quality of cutting tools manufactured on the VGrind 340S. To eliminate deflection, VOLLMER has also introduced automated tool run-out compensation. Integrated into the NUMROTO control software, the run-out compensation cycle will utilise a measuring probe during operation to probe tools in multiple positions around the diameter of the tool. Taking live ‘in-cycle’ measurements, the VGrind 340S will automatically measure the tool and re-calibrate the programme to accommodate and eliminate any tool deviations caused by deflection Automation The OEM recipients that specify medical and surgical procedure tools often require high production volumes that can be in the region of 5,000-off. To support precision volume production, the VGrind 340S is supported by the HP160 automated tool loading system that can accommodate up to 900 tools. The HP160 loading system on the VGrind 340S facilitates 900 tools with the medical standard 4.5mm

Flexibility To produce 100% of the tools that I encounter daily, the VGrind 340S not only delivers astounding productivity, technology and process stability – running through the very DNA of the machine is a high level of flexibility. The VGrind is the only machine to incorporate multi-level machining with two spindles located on its A-axis. Feeding this paradigm leap in innovation is a grinding wheel package that accommodates up to 8 wheel sets. With 8 different wheelsets, the VGrind 340S can automatically change from a flute grinding wheel to a gashing wheel, cup wheel, a 1A1 wheel for relief and OD grinding or any other type of wheel. n www.vollmer-group.com/en-uk

diameter shanks. The number of tool positions decreases depending upon the shank diameter. Not only does the VGrind 340S accommodate up to 900 tools, but manufacturers can also set the machine to run multiple programmes sequentially without manual intervention. So, if a company needs to run a batch of 50 3-flute tools and then 500 2-flute tools of different diameters and geometry that are then followed by other tool variants - the VGrind 340S can easily accommodate this. The result is unmanned operation, reduced costs and around-the-clock production.
