Versatile. Precise. Efficient.

An exceptional machine from our line of rotary surface grinders. The IG280SD is designed with glass, ceramic, carbide and crystal fabrication in mind.  It can be used in any low, mid or high volume applications.  The programmable control saves grind parameters by part number for repeatable process automation. The servo driven Z-axis delivers true feed rates and repeatable positioning.  An electromagnetic rotary chuck with electronic sensed demag is standard while optional configurations may include mechanical, vacuum, pneumatic or hydraulic work-piece fixturing.

Grinding Applications

DCM grinders outperform conventional surface grinders and are efficient for removing large amounts of material, while maintaining close tolerances and reducing process time. Features such as variable feedrate & spindle speed, single or multi-step grinding, and easily programmable grind processes make this machine an ideal platform for processing a wide range of materials.
