As a technology grinding has been fighting a battle that has raged on several fronts. For instance it has long been seen as a slow and expensive way to remove material, so the threat posed by developments in hard turning and high-speed milling has been a real one.

Tschudin Launch their new Granitline ECO410 Centerless Grinding Machine At Mach 2008 and unveil partnership with Dorman Machinery Ltd

For the first time Tschudin will be exhibiting their ECO410 machine on Dorman Machinery’s stand 5154 that offers end users centerless grinding capacity from 0.7mm to 50mm in diameter. This advanced machine that weighs 5,000 kg benefits from having a machine bed made from solid granite features a new simplified concept in the arrangement of CNC axis with a 30 degree angular approach of the grinding wheel that allows diameters and shoulders to be ground at the same time.
