2006 Rollomatic 6000XL

The Rollomatic GrindSmart 6000XL is a high-precision, 6-axis hydrostatic CNC tool grinding machine designed for producing and sharpening cutting tools with diameters from 3 mm to 32 mm. It features full hydrostatic ways for friction-free movement, a high-power 28-30 HP spindle, and integrated automatic robotic loading, making it ideal for manufacturing carbide end mills, drills, and step tools. [1, 2, 3]

Key Features and Specifications:

• Hydrostatic Precision: All 6 axes, including the grinding spindle, use hydrostatic functions, allowing for ultra-high precision, rigidity, and perpetual repeatability.
• Grinding Capacity: Handles tool blanks with lengths up to 300 mm.
• CNC Control: Uses GE Fanuc 160iMA/160iMB control with Windows 2000 Professional, which offers high-speed processing and networking.
• Automatic Loader: Equipped with a robot loader for unmanned, automated operation.
• Grinding Spindle: Features a high-torque 28 HP (20 kW) motor, with some models running at 6000 RPM, supporting up to 8 wheels.
• Software: Compatible with Rollomatic VirtualGrind for 3D simulation and programming of flutes, reliefs, corner radii, and step tools.
• Accuracy: Linear axis resolution is typically rated at 0.000004" (0.1 micron). [1, 2, 3, 4]

This machine is frequently used for high-capacity, high-precision grinding and was noted as one of the first 6-axis hydrostatic grinders of its type. [1, 2]
