Our best estimate for a cnc grinding machine in this class — not a quote from Amada. Configuration moves it a long way.

Overview

The Amada TECHSTER 64 is a CNC grinding machine sized around a 600 x 400 x 100 mm (23.6 x 15.7 x 3.9 in) maximum chuck, with travels of 780 mm (30.7 in) traverse, 450 mm (17.7 in) cross and 500 mm (19.7 in) vertical. Its wheel spindle is listed at 3.7 kW and turns a 355 x 38-50 x 127 mm wheel.

The chuck is unusually deep for its length. At 400 mm front to back against 600 mm long, it suits blocky work, mould inserts and plates ground several at a time, more than long strips. Cross travel of 450 mm exceeds the 400 mm chuck depth, so the wheel can work to both edges.

A wide wheel on a 3.7 kW spindle sets the character of the machine. A 38 to 50 mm face spreads that power over a broad contact, which favours light finishing passes and plunge-dressed forms over heavy stock removal. The TECHSTER 84 carries the same wheel with 7.5 kW peak / 4 kW continuous, and it is the place to look if roughing rate matters.

Unlike the larger sizes, this model's table states its vertical travel outright, 500 mm (19.7 in), and gives 100 mm as the chuck's third dimension. Control is Simultaneous 2 Axis + 1 Axis. The cross and vertical axes are Ball Screw Drive & Direct Drive, while the drive system row for the traverse axis gives the axis name and nothing more.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

600 x 400 x 100 mm (23.6 x 15.7 x 3.9 in) maximum chuck, deep enough for blocky work and multi-part setups
500 mm (19.7 in) of vertical travel, stated as its own row
355 x 38-50 x 127 mm wheel, the same size the TECHSTER 84 uses
Cross and vertical axes listed as Ball Screw Drive & Direct Drive
780 mm (30.7 in) of traverse over a 600 mm long chuck gives run-off at both ends

Limitations

Wheel spindle is 3.7 kW; the TECHSTER 84 lists 7.5 kW peak / 4 kW continuous on the same wheel size
Traverse of 780 mm (30.7 in) limits part length; the TECHSTER 84 lists 1,000 mm (39.4 in)
The traverse drive type is not stated, and no wheel speed or table load is listed

Best For

Blocky parts and mould inserts on a 600 x 400 x 100 mm chuck Several plates ground together across 450 mm (17.7 in) of cross travel Finishing passes with wheels 38 to 50 mm wide Setups needing up to 500 mm (19.7 in) of vertical travel

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What size work does the TECHSTER 64 handle?

The maximum chuck is 600 x 400 x 100 mm (23.6 x 15.7 x 3.9 in). Travels are 780 mm (30.7 in) in traverse, 450 mm (17.7 in) in cross and 500 mm (19.7 in) vertically, so the wheel can cover the whole chuck with travel to spare in every direction. No table load figure is listed.

02 How does the TECHSTER 64 differ from the TECHSTER 84?

The TECHSTER 84 is longer and has more spindle power: an 800 x 400 standard chuck, 1,000 mm (39.4 in) of traverse and 7.5 kW peak / 4 kW continuous. The TECHSTER 64 has a 600 x 400 x 100 mm chuck, 780 mm (30.7 in) of traverse and 3.7 kW. Cross travel is 450 mm (17.7 in) on both, and the wheel is 355 x 38-50 x 127 mm on both.

03 What wheel and spindle does the TECHSTER 64 have?

The wheel is 355 x 38-50 x 127 mm: a 355 mm diameter, widths from 38 to 50 mm and a 127 mm bore. The wheel spindle is listed at 3.7 kW. The table does not give a wheel spindle speed.

04 What control and axis drives does the TECHSTER 64 use?

NC control is listed as Simultaneous 2 Axis + 1 Axis, meaning two axes interpolate together and one moves independently. The cross and vertical axes are Ball Screw Drive & Direct Drive. For the traverse axis the drive system row gives only the axis name, so ask Amada how the table is driven.
