Overview

The Amada WINSTAR SP is the smaller WINSTAR: a CNC grinding machine with a 500 x 200 x 100 mm (19.7 x 7.9 x 3.9 in) maximum chuck, 600 mm (23.6 in) of traverse, 250 mm (9.8 in) of cross travel and 400 mm (15.7 in) of vertical travel. It runs a 205 x 6.4-25 x 31.75 mm wheel.

Those travels and that wheel are the same as the MEISTER 52's, which makes that model the natural comparison. The MEISTER 52 lists a shorter 400 x 200 x 100 mm (15.7 x 7.9 x 3.9 in) chuck and a wheel spindle motor row of 2.2, where the WINSTAR SP shows 3.7; neither table prints a unit for the motor. The MEISTER 52 also lists a 250 min⁻¹ high-speed table reciprocation and a vertical scale resolution, rows the WINSTAR SP table does not have. On paper, then, the SP is the one with the longer chuck and the larger motor figure, and the MEISTER 52 is the one documented for fast reciprocating work.

Within its own family the step is one of size. The WINSTAR has a 600 x 300 x 100 mm (23.6 x 11.8 x 3.9 in) chuck, 780 mm (30.7 in) of traverse and a 255 x 6.4-25 x 50.8 mm wheel. A part that fits the SP's 200 mm chuck width gains nothing from the larger machine except room.

A 500 mm chuck under 600 mm of traverse leaves limited run-off, so a part using the whole chuck length needs the stroke set carefully. Control is Simultaneous 2-axis + 1 axis. Wheel speed, table load and weight are absent from the table.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

500 x 200 x 100 mm (19.7 x 7.9 x 3.9 in) chuck, longer than the 400 x 200 x 100 mm (15.7 x 7.9 x 3.9 in) of the MEISTER 52 on the same travels
205 x 6.4-25 x 31.75 mm wheel covers widths from 6.4 to 25 mm
400 mm (15.7 in) of vertical travel for tall fixtures
Wheel spindle motor row reads 3.7, against 2.2 for the MEISTER 52

Limitations

Only 600 mm (23.6 in) of traverse for a 500 mm long chuck, so run-off is tight on full-length parts
No table reciprocation rate is listed, while the MEISTER 52 lists 250 min⁻¹ (high-speed)
Cross travel of 250 mm (9.8 in) and a 200 mm chuck width keep this to narrow work; the WINSTAR lists 340 mm (13.4 in) and a 300 mm wide chuck
The motor row has no unit and no wheel speed is given

Best For

Long, narrow parts on a 500 x 200 x 100 mm (19.7 x 7.9 x 3.9 in) chuck Slot and form grinding with a 205 mm wheel 6.4 to 25 mm wide Punches, inserts and small die components

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How does the WINSTAR SP compare with the MEISTER 52?

Both have travels of 600 mm (23.6 in), 250 mm (9.8 in) and 400 mm (15.7 in), and both take a 205 x 6.4-25 x 31.75 mm wheel. The WINSTAR SP has the longer chuck, 500 x 200 x 100 mm (19.7 x 7.9 x 3.9 in) against 400 x 200 x 100 mm (15.7 x 7.9 x 3.9 in) on the MEISTER 52. The MEISTER 52 table adds a 250 min⁻¹ high-speed table reciprocation row that the WINSTAR SP table lacks.

02 What is the difference between the WINSTAR SP and the WINSTAR?

The WINSTAR is the larger machine, with a 600 x 300 x 100 mm (23.6 x 11.8 x 3.9 in) chuck, travels of 780 mm (30.7 in), 340 mm (13.4 in) and 450 mm (17.7 in), and a 255 x 6.4-25 x 50.8 mm wheel. The WINSTAR SP is built on a 500 x 200 x 100 mm (19.7 x 7.9 x 3.9 in) chuck with a 205 mm wheel. Both wheel spindle motor rows read 3.7.

03 How long a part can the WINSTAR SP grind?

The chuck is 500 mm long and traverse travel is 600 mm (23.6 in). The wheel has to run off the part at each end, so a part that fills the chuck leaves little margin and the stroke needs to be set with care. Cross travel is 250 mm (9.8 in) against a 200 mm chuck width.

04 What wheel does the WINSTAR SP use?

A 205 x 6.4-25 x 31.75 mm wheel, which is 205 mm in diameter, 6.4 to 25 mm wide, on a 31.75 mm bore. The wheel spindle motor row reads 3.7 and the table prints no unit for it. Wheel speed is not listed.
