Overview

The Campbell Grinder 1000C1000 is a CNC vertical cylindrical grinder for parts up to 1,143 mm (45.0 in) in swing diameter and 1,016 mm (40.0 in) in height. It sits second in its series and is the first size with a full metre of part height.

Campbell builds the series around a traveling column. The X-axis bed carries 45 mm roller guideways, and the axes are driven by liquid-cooled linear motors with absolute encoders in place of ball screws, so there is no screw to wear or to introduce backlash. Linear glass scales close the loop on every axis. For the X and Z axes the catalogue states an accuracy of 5 microns (0.0002 in).

The work turns on the C axis, a table spindle specified at 2.5 microns (0.0001 in) of runout, radial and axial, measured 305 mm (12 in) above the table top. The spindle swivel, the B axis, is optional; Campbell drives it with dual servos to eliminate backlash and gives it 5 microns (0.0002 in) of runout and 10 arc seconds of accuracy. With it fitted, the Fanuc 32 control contours with up to 4 axes simultaneously.

Spindle power is listed as up to 40 HP (29.8 kW). The machine measures 3.56 m x 3.89 m x 3.89 m, and the grind zone is fully sealed behind labyrinth door seals. Buyers should treat the table as a starting point, since Campbell states that the traveling column configuration is customized to each customer's requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What is the capacity of the 1000C1000?

Swing diameter is 1,143 mm (45.0 in) and part height is 1,016 mm (40.0 in). The smaller 1000C500 swings 600 mm (23.6 in), and the 1000C1500 swings 1,651 mm (65.0 in) at the same part height.

02 How are the axes of the 1000C1000 driven?

By liquid-cooled linear motors with absolute encoders. Campbell's catalogue stresses that there are no ball screws and no backlash in the linear axes, and the rails are 45 mm roller guideways. Linear glass scales are fitted on all axes, and the stated accuracy of X and Z is 5 microns (0.0002 in).

03 What control does the 1000C1000 use?

A Fanuc 32 CNC with up to 4 axis simultaneous contouring is the listed control, and the standard features on the product page name a Fanuc CNC control as well. A Siemens 840D control appears in the option list.

04 Is the B axis standard on the 1000C1000?

No. The specification notes mark the B axis spindle swivel as optional, even though the axes row reads X, Z, B, C. When fitted it has 5 microns (0.0002 in) of runout, radial and axial, and an accuracy of 10 arc seconds.
