Overview

Reliable Cylindrical Grinding for Daily Production

The R Series PLC cylindrical grinding machine offers AMC-SCHOU’s proven grinding platform with PLC control — designed for workshops that require consistent, high-quality cylindrical grinding with straightforward operation. Built on the same travelling table design and cast iron construction as the CNC models, it delivers long-term stability and sustained accuracy for rubber roller and steel roller grinding in daily production. Available in four bed lengths to match workpiece requirements.

Performance

Consistent Grinding Performance with Straightforward Operation

PLC Control Reliable control system for straightforward machine operation — easy for operators to learn and use in daily production, with simple maintenance requirements.

Travelling Table Design Stable and accurate table movement ensuring consistent grinding results across the full workpiece length.

Hydrodynamic Grinding Wheel Spindle Vibration-free rotation with runout less than 0.001 mm — the spindle rotates on an oiled film for smooth, consistent material removal.

SKF & Deutsche Star Rexroth Ball Screws High-precision ball screws for X- and Z-axis ensuring smooth, accurate and trouble-free movements of the antifriction covered table and wheel slide.

Heavy-Duty SKF Bearings SKF bearings in heavy-duty design in head- and tailstock ensuring smooth and trouble-free rotation of extra heavy workpieces.

High-Quality Cast Iron Construction All main components cast from well-established foundries and specially processed to eliminate internal stresses — free of vibrations with long-term dimensional stability.

Simple, Low-Maintenance Design Very few movable components. Maintenance limited to cleaning and lubrication alone.
