Wear-free guide concept

The unique design principle of MÄGERLE machining centers forms the
basis for the overall machine quality. The vertical axis is supported by
hydrostatic wrap-around guideways on a thin oil film and is completely
separated from the column upper section. This principle enables the
machines to withstand very high stresses free of wear, even in long-
term use. The oil film also has a vibration-damping effect and guaran-
tees high-precision machining of simple or complex workpieces.

APPLICATION EXAMPLES AND MACHINING CAPABILITIES

Turbine vanes
Turbine vanes are ground on the MFP 50 with minimal downtimes and
a high degree of autonomy. The combination of automatic tool changer
and CD overhead dresser enables several profiles to be ground in a
single workpiece clamping, as well as ensuring dimensional stability.

Turbine blades
The capacity of the tool changer allows the machine to be prepared for significantly reduced. The compact tool holding fixtures enable wide
several types of turbine blades. As a result changeover times can be machining contours to be achieved, together with high removal rates.

Shrouds
Shrouds can be completely machined in just a
few clampings on the MFP 50, including mil-
ling and drilling operations.

AUTOMATIC TOOL CHANGER

The tool changer includes 24 positions. It can be equipped with different grinding wheels accor-
ding to the process requirements. The grinding process can be supplemented with the machine's
drilling and milling capability, which supports a flexible machining platform for complex workpi-
eces. In addition, the magazine can be loaded with a measuring probe which allows for dimen-
sioning or workpiece position checks.
 11

THE RIGHT DRESSING METHOD

Dressing Method
The dressing of the grinding wheels is a crucial
factor for the efficiency of the grinding process.
With overhead and table dressing devices,
MÄGERLE provides professional solutions for
the various requirements of this process step.
The potential of the overhead principle is deve-
loped in continuous dressing (CD) and inprocess
dressing (IPD). MÄGERLE uses servo motors
for the drive; these can be freely programmed
across the entire rpm range. The compact tool
holding fixtures significantly reduce susceptibi-
lity to vibrations and the continuously dressed
grinding wheel enables high removal rates with
high profile accuracy over long cuts.
