Overview

Built for the Most Demanding Cylindrical Grinding Applications

The R 2000-CNC B is AMC-SCHOU’s CNC-controlled cylindrical grinding machine with a swiveable B-axis — developed in direct response to customer requirements for high-complexity grinding operations such as aerospace landing gear components. It is engineered for industries that demand the absolute highest levels of accuracy and productivity.

Its two grinding wheels mounted on a fully swiveable CNC B-axis allow automatic positioning at any desired angle, enabling multi-surface grinding in a single setup.

All major structural components are made from high-quality castings, specially processed to eliminate internal material stresses. Components are permitted to rest for several months before final machining — ensuring a highly stable machine entirely free of vibration.

Applications

Designed for Complex Profile Grinding and Heavy Industrial Workpieces

The R 2000-CNC B is suited for cylindrical grinding of complex and multi-surface workpieces, developed around a real aerospace landing gear grinding requirement.

Typical Applications

• Aerospace landing gear component grinding
• Complex profile and multi-angle cylindrical grinding

Ideal For

• Industries demanding the highest degree of accuracy and productivity
• Manufacturers seeking higher precision, smoother surface finishes, and greater overall productivity
• Facilities grinding large, heavy, or geometrically complex workpieces

Performance

Precision at Every Angle — Engineered for Complex Geometry

CNC B-Axis with Dual Grinding Wheels Two grinding wheels mounted on a fully swiveable CNC B-axis with an index range of -45° to +195°. The wheelhead automatically positions at any desired angle — enabling complex multi-surface grinding in a single clamping setup.

Acoustic Collision Prevention The machine can be equipped with acoustic sensors to prevent unforeseen and unintended movements causing collisions with the workpiece, dresser, headstock, tailstock, and other machine elements.

Airlifted Head- and Tailstock Ensures smooth, accurate, and trouble-free rotation of even extra-heavy workpieces. Heavy-duty SKF bearings throughout for long-term reliability.

SKF & Rexroth High-Precision Ball Screws SKF and Rexroth ball screws on X- and Z-axes ensure smooth, accurate, trouble-free movement across the antifriction-covered table and wheel slide.

SIEMENS Simodrive Motors SIEMENS motors power both the headstock and grinding wheel spindle.

In-Process Measuring Equipment A variety of measuring probes and in-process measuring devices can be mounted on the machine depending on end-user requirements.

Full Enclosure Available Full machine enclosure available as an option.
