Overview
The Amada WINSTAR SP is an ultra-high-precision CNC forming grinder for the most demanding tooling applications in stamping, electronics, and medical device industries. The SP designation positions this as the special performance variant in Amada’s WINSTAR lineup, delivering tighter tolerances and finer surface finishes than the standard WINSTAR.
The WINSTAR SP features simultaneous 2-axis plus 1-axis NC control with a 500 x 200 x 100 mm maximum chuck size. Axis travels span 600 mm (traverse), 250 mm (cross), and 400 mm (vertical). The 3.7 kW wheel spindle -- significantly more powerful than the 2.2 kW MEISTER motors -- drives grinding wheels up to 205 x 6.4-25 x 31.75 mm.
Positioned above the MEISTER series in Amada’s grinding hierarchy, the WINSTAR SP targets applications where standard forming grinder accuracy is insufficient. Its enhanced rigidity and refined motion control deliver the surface finish quality required for precision connector tooling, medical device components, and semiconductor packaging dies.
New WINSTAR SP systems typically price between $280,000 and $420,000.
