VELTRIX GRINDCORE GC-330
The flexible multi-spindle solution for demanding chuck work.
The GC-330 is a highly flexible internal cylindrical grinding machine built for medium-sized workpieces where mixed external and internal grinding operations must happen in a single clamping. With up to three grinding spindles arranged linearly, the GC-330 minimizes repositioning and maximizes accuracy across individual components through small-batch production. An optional, fully integrated automatic loading and unloading system transforms the GC-330 into a cost-effective automated cell for high-precision production.
Hardware Features
- Up to three grinding spindles in a linear arrangement
- High-frequency or belt-driven spindle options
- External grinding wheel capacity up to approximately 310 mm diameter on a dedicated spindle
- External and internal grinding possible within a single clamping
- Full enclosure with sliding door for operator safety and coolant containment
- Integrated or autonomous automatic loading systems available
- Fanuc Oi-TD / Fanuc 31i-A control compatibility (with loader)
Software Features
- Program-simulation software for creating and testing grinding programs on the control or on a PC.
