Maegerle - MGC Workpiece Carrier

Like all models in the MGC series, this grinding centre is also based on the proven modular concept. Thanks to its variety of configurations with one or several spindles in a horizontal or vertical arrangement as well as a multitude of additional components, the MGC with fixed console is also one of the front-runners in its category with regard to flexibility.

Applications:

• Impellar
• Precision steering rack
• Corrugating Roll
• Carriage for linear guideway
• Edging tools

Like its sister systems in the MFP series, the Mägerle Grinding Center delivers superb results for creep feed grinding with high removal capacities as well as for profile and flat grinding. In its swivelling table version, the MGC is also designed with the maximum ejection capacity. The 180° swivelling table allows loading and unloading of workpieces while machining is in operation. Non-productive times for workpiece change are thus largely eliminated. This results in maximum productivity for small and large batches, as well as in special applications. The MGC with swivelling table, in conjunction with the automatic loading and unloading system, frees up additional reserves. The openly accessible swivelling table also provides the ideal interface.

Applications:

• Turbine rotor vane
• Rotors
• Pump rotors
• Rocker arm
• Spring collets
• Steering rack variations
• Projectile body
• Shearing knife
• Textile industry
• Saw blades

With table diameters of up to 2.5 metres and a maximum load bearing capacity of 12 tons, the MGC rotary table grinding centre is unequalled throughout the world. Well-known companies in the power turbine industry rely on this powerful concept. This grinding centre is unrivalled particularly when it comes to machining turbine blades with Hirth gears and Curvic couplings of the highest quality. The direct-drive rotary table mounted on hydrostatic bearings ensures the necessary precision, with a positioning accuracy of less than three angular seconds.

Applications:

• Adapterring
• Hirth gear

Versatility with the highest production quality level is the outstanding strength of this vertical grinding machine. It demonstrates its capabilities particularly in the manufacture of bearing rings, where optimum runout characteristics are required for maximum smooth running. Equipped with rotary table and fully automatic tool changer, this vertical grinding machine can master other functions in addition to grinding. Whether turning, milling, drilling, reaming or boring, this system delivers the same impressive results. The vertically arranged spindle swivelling in the range of ± 50° offers plenty of space for machining a wide variety of workpieces. An interchangeable spindle measuring probe guarantees that each individual workpiece is machined in a single clamping with consistently high perfection.

Applications:

• Low-pressure turbine housing
• Bearing ring
