A CNC (Computer Numerical Control) cutter grinder is a machine used for sharpening, reconditioning, or manufacturing cutting tools such as end mills, drills, and other rotary cutting tools. The CNC cutter grinder uses computer-controlled movements to produce precise and accurate results.
The CNC cutter grinder typically consists of a grinding wheel, a workholding device, and a computer-controlled axis system. The workholding device holds the cutting tool in place while it is being ground, and the axis system moves the grinding wheel to create the desired shape and finish on the cutting tool.
The CNC cutter grinder can be programmed to grind a variety of shapes and profiles, including complex geometries with multiple angles and radii. The machine can also be used for reconditioning worn cutting tools by removing the worn or damaged material and restoring the original shape and sharpness of the tool.
The advantages of using a CNC cutter grinder include the ability to produce highly accurate and repeatable results, the ability to grind complex shapes and geometries, and the ability to automate the grinding process for increased efficiency and productivity. Additionally, using a CNC cutter grinder can extend the life of cutting tools by reconditioning them rather than replacing them.
CNC cutter grinders are commonly used in the manufacturing industry, particularly in the production of high-precision parts for aerospace, automotive, and medical applications.
