Bearing Grinder

Where are you going to finish in the bearing race? If you are concerned with wall thickness variations, radial runout and surface finishes, we can help. In an industry where precision is essential, your machinery and application processes will make or break you. Campbell Grinder has developed machines specifically for the bearing industry that are capable of holding extremely high tolerances on bearings that can get as large as three or more meters in diameter. Some of these machines would include pinch grinders that are capable of grinding I.D. and O.D. surfaces at the same time. Combine this with the ability to hard turn to near net; then grind to an almost mirror finish in a single setup on the same machine and you will find yourself at the head of the pack. Call Campbell Grinder to find out how we can help you achieve the next level of performance, don’t just finish, win.

Bearing Grinder Options
· Hydrostatic table bearing
· Articulating rotary disk dresser
· Load sensing dress
· Hard turn to near net
· Tool changing
· Nozzle changing

Stator Case Grinder

What motivates you? If you machine stator cases, chances are you’re familiar with how long the process can take. Campbell Grinder recently helped one of our customers improve their process, so much so that a part that once took a full eight-hour shift to complete is now being done in two hours. This is accomplished through the use of a non-contact laser measurement system as opposed to a conventional roller ball touch probe, which can be inaccurate. Also involved was the implementation of VIT CBN Superabrasives which eliminated the need to dress the grinding wheel during the grind cycle, these two items helped production increase fourfold with higher part accuracies. So what is it going to take to motivate you? Stand up and state your case.

Gear Grinding

How would you reduce setup time, decrease process times and maximize your return on investment? Your first step should be to call Campbell Grinder. We recently took a customer’s multiple setup gear grinding process, and with the help of our applications engineering department, developed a newly engineered single setup process.

Using a Campbell Grinder Model ES-750 machine, a custom designed fixture and some Campbell know how, we were able to grind separate processes in one simple setup. In this gear grinding process we grind two I.D. surfaces, and two shoulders, one of which requires a backgrind on a blind shoulder. We do this while maintaining the concentricity of the two bores and the parallelism of the two shoulders. The results are a reduced per part process and setup time with near perfect part concentricity. Let Campbell Grinder show you the innovation, versatility and performance to get your gears turning.

Tool and Nozzle Changer

How do you make some of the most versatile, productive and innovative grinding machines in the industry even better? Our engineering team was asking themselves that same question a few months ago. Our solution, let’s “Change” them. Campbell Grinder has developed a vertical tool and nozzle changer for use on all of our new Evolution Series of grinders.

Setup and process times are greatly reduced with the ability to load a part in the machine and have the tool and nozzle changer do all the operational changes for you. Grind I.D. and O.D., mill, drill, hard turn, debur, probe and more without operator intervention. Combine this with a little Campbell Grinder applications and process know how and you will see why our machines can be thought of as ten machines in one. Maybe it’s time that you consider a “Change” too. Decrease your operating costs and bring your productivity to a whole new level. In the fast paced world we do business in, Campbell Grinder gives you a reason to see why “Change” is good. The Evolution continues...

Landing Gear Grinder

One of our customers came to us with a big problem, so Campbell Grinder created a big answer. Until now grinding landing gear has been done in a horizontal orientation fighting the effects of gravity on the part and machine. This has proven to be slow, inaccurate, and the machines are very cumbersome taking up a large amount of valuable floor space. Campbell Grinders Evolution-ary answer to this outdated landing gear process?

We have successfully ground some of the largest landing gear on the planet through the use of dual grinding heads, one for I.D. and one for O.D.; an automatic live center and steady rest; and the most important feature, grinding the landing gear in a vertical orientation to utilize the effects of gravity in our favor instead of fighting them. By placing the landing gear in a vertical orientation and spinning the part we have attained speed and accuracy never before imagined for a part of this magnitude. The Evolution continues…

Did You Know

Did you know Campbell Grinder Company machines are being used at the University of Arizona's Steward Observatory Mirror Laboratory? A team of scientists and engineers are making giant, lightweight mirrors of unprecedented power for a new generation of optical and infrared telescopes using Campbell machines.

The large mirrors are generated by machining with a diamond grinding tool on a Campbell Grinder machine which is a high precision vertical grinder. Then the mirrors are polished on the same machine by lapping with the stressed lap. The image above shows the second 6.5m mirror being polished on the machine in 1998 (photo by Peter Wehinger).

For more information on process please visit the University of Arizona's Steward Observatory web site.
