LAUNCHING A NEW SERIES

OF MEDIUM SIZE SURFACE
GRINDING MACHINES
New functions are adapted to our new medium sized
surface grinding machines. The series line up has also
been extended. We are offering a wide range of
machines were elements have been modified to gua-
ranty higher precisions, improved operability and
updates configuration.

Increased series line-up

- Better operability and repeatable accuracy are considered

as the most important factor. The 400 mm wide models
are redesigned to column moving system.
- The new 600 mm wide range are developed to meet the
market requirements for larger work piece sizes.

Model name

ACC63SA
- The grinding area is represented by the number (e.g. 63 = 600 x 300 mm)
- The basic construction is indicated by he following letters (SA = Saddle,
CA = Column cross movement).
- If there is no following specification the machine is a conventional type employing
automatic grinding cycle (dress compensation function as option).
- The indication iQ represents 2 controlled NC axis with easy to use conversational
input system.

Increased functions

- SA · CA series are conventional machines, with the ability of

automatic dress cycles (fixed or overhead mounted dresser)
as option.
- iQ software is the most advanced software meeting most
work piece and grinding wheel shapes.
- Automatic set up of the optimal in-feed and dress amount to
condition by just entering wheel specification (iQ function).

iQ Software Grinding Data(Step)

SA SERIES
Increased rigidity

- The extended vertical slides ensures most precise in feed and is capable
to receive strong grinding forces.

Improved operability

- The design was completely renewed to allow improved operability as a general

purpose machine.
- The front panel levers have been completely removed an integrated into the
control panel to guaranty easy set up and control.
- The height of the control panel has been increased for more ergonomic working.

Automatic operation

- Cross reversing position can be set by teaching as standard.

- Automatic grinding cycle.
- Automatic dress cycle (table dresser) is available a option.

V-V structural table sliding surfaces considering the straight table run

- Table imbalance due to uneven oil distribution is controlled.

- Each V-V sliding rail surface has 20 scraping points (50% of entire
surface) to maintain optimum sliding performance.

The accuracy, reliability and operation

of our best selling DX series has been
further increased.

Column moving series

suitable for larger work pieces

Easy access to working area

- Column type design gives easier access for

loading and unloading the work pieces.
- For the same reason the distance between
floor an work table has been reduced.
* On the 84 size model it is 915 mm.
This is 87 mm lower than existing machines
of the same size.

T shaped main casting

- Extremely rigid single piece T shaped main

casting.
- Machine table supported on both sides at all
times.
Additional table mounted devices, and fixtures
are supported across the full table length.

Improved Covering

- Standard cover designed for the use of high

pressure coolant systems.
- Draining system to meet the increased amount
of coolant.
- High quality sheet metal cover (powder coated)
with new design.
- Two tone colour painting and ergonomic design.

CA SERIES
To ensure the highest accuracy and best ergonomic layout of surface grinders
with tables greater in width than 400 mm, Okamoto has continually developed
the moving column design. This design features an extremely rigid single piece
T shaped main casting with fully supported table slide ways to guarantee the
highest stability and accuracy. The moving column type design also gives easier
access for work loading and unloading. To improve ease of loading even more
the height from floor to table has also been kept to a minimum.

High rigid structure

- The cross feed movement is supported on very

rigid guide ways.
This design of the column has been developed
to guarantee very accurate cross movement.

V-V slide way

- The double V (V-V) longitudinal slideway ensures

accurate straightness.
- Controls the amount of the lubricating oil layer.

CA-LI SERIES
High performance for the
future of everyone
Latest technologies

- Improved straightness and positioning

accuracy of the table longitudinal axis by
linear motor drive.
- Wheel spindle 15 kW, 100 mm wide wheel
(option) and linear motor (maximum speed
40 m/min) brings up the productivity 40%
comparing existing machine.

Maintenance free for the sake of everyone

- Unique innovative filter system without paper

filter and original coolant system. Maintenance
free, next generations coolant system.
Reduces the amount of waste produced.
- No oil is used with these advanced next
generat ion surface grinding machines,
OKAMOTO cares about the environment.

SA-iQ, CA-iQ Type

Until now complex tasks in precision grinding depended
very much on the experience of a skilled operator. The
development of the new Okamoto iQ touch screen control
and its easy to use software, coupled with an inherent
mechanical accuracy, allows everyone to achieve impressive
results. The breakdown of complex tasks into simple basic
operations, enables even unskilled operators to use the
machine with maximum efficiency.

Setting of the machine is divided into 2 parts, wheel

dress ing and grinding. A logical graphicalrepresentation of
each of these operations serves to guide the operator
through the setting process. This setting process is made
even easier by the use of easy to understand icons displayed
on a generously sized colour screen.
