7 Products Added to United Grinding Lineup

United Grinding North America is expanding its range of grinding and measuring equipment with seven products across three different company brands. The Studer, Blohm and Walter brands are all under the United Grinding flagship, offering different technology and services.

Two cylindrical grinding machines, S100 and S36, from Studer are being brought to the North American market. The S100 is a universal internal cylindrical grinding machine and member of the “entry-level” family offerings. United Grinding says this machine is well suited for job shops just getting into cylindrical grinding or upgrading older grinding machines with the latest technology. The S36 is an OD production grinding machine that has a modified wheelhead to accept a large grinding wheel with a diameter of up to 24" and a width of nearly 5".

Blohm continues its tradition of customer-centric surface and profile grinding development with the Planomat XT Essential. The three-axis grinding machine is Blohm’s entry-level offering for job shops that are eyeing CNC grinding but need a more attainable starting point. Blohm is also adding an option on a powerhouse creep feed grinder — the Profimat XT is available with a toolchanger, enabling the automatic changing of grinding wheels. 

Walter is focused on packing more tool grinding functionality into a compact space with the Helitronic G200 and Helitronic Mini Plus. The Helitronic G200 gives cutting tool makers and contract manufacturers an entry point into the regrinding market, and offers an economical solution for the production of small- to medium-sized tools. If manufacturers require a higher volume of production of the same-sized tools, the Helitronic Mini Plus can also be considered, the company says. Additionally, the Helicheck Plus comes with an available 3D sensor, which adds the capabilities of the Helicheck 3D model right into the Plus model. The 3D sensor enables this machine to laser-scan a tool and generate a 3D model made up of as many as 3 million individual points.

“New technologies from our brand companies overseas, paired with recent innovations from our own team here in Miamisburg, are helping our customers realize strong productivity gains and an ability to support a wider array of applications," says Markus Stolmar, president and CEO of United Grinding North America. “Our commitment to bringing the best technology to market is stronger than ever, and I am truly excited for the future.”
