Rey Technologies Promotes Highly Precise, Automated Grinding Machines

According to Ziersch GmbH, its machines, equipped to be precise, easy to operate, reliable and maintaining a high degree of automation, are some of the main reasons why mold & die companies in Europe, Eastern Europe and Asia have standardized surface grinding capabilities.

With a highly competitive performance-to-price ratio, Ziersch’s machines offer easy-to-operate control with a color touch screen and operator interface with pictograming software without the knobs, hand wheels or levers to push, pull, turn and adjust in order to grind a good part. Ziersch says the dressing tool is mounted on the same plane as the grinding wheel—a contributing factor to achieving parallelism and flatness of less than 0.0002” which is guaranteed by the manufacturer.  

The company notes that ergonomic machine design is another area that separates Ziersch from its competition. Operators and maintenance personnel are said to have easy access to controls and components, while a partial- or full-machine enclosure (single column machines only) allows the use of a mist extraction unit to control the air quality.  

All single-column and bridge-style surface grinding models—15 different sizes in total—are built with scraped double-V slideways in the Z-axis. Preloaded precision linear guideways (Bosch Rexroth) in the vertical and cross-axis are used for high accuracy, with a standard Heidenhain scale on the vertical axis.

Ziersch points to its first U.S.-based customer, National Tool & Manufacturing, which the company says can attest to its machine’s attributes. Overall, Ziersch is confident that it can continue its success with U.S.-based customers that are looking to significantly improve grinding operations.
