Overview

The Campbell Grinder 1000C1500 is a CNC vertical cylindrical grinder with a swing diameter of 1,651 mm (65.0 in) and a part height of 1,016 mm (40.0 in). It is the size at which its series is first listed with a grinding spindle of up to 60 HP (44.7 kW).

That power matters because of what Campbell offers around the spindle. The catalogue describes spindles of up to 60 hp and speeds up to 90,000 rpm, with direct or belt drives, automatic drawbars and a choice of tool interfaces, each with ceramic hybrid bearings and liquid cooling. Several spindles can be mounted on the same head, which is how one machine carries a long-nose ID spindle next to an OD spindle.

Dressing is equally open. Disk, roll form and CNC radius dressers are on the option list, and for demanding materials Campbell offers CDCF, continuous dress continuous feed, which keeps the wheel dressed throughout grinding. A gap eliminator, a wheel balance system and a tool probe are available to shorten the non-cutting parts of the cycle.

The basic machine follows the rest of the range: X and Z axes accurate to 5 microns (0.0002 in), a C axis table with 2.5 microns (0.0001 in) of runout, an optional B axis and a Fanuc 32 control. Overall dimensions for this size are best taken from a layout drawing supplied by Campbell.
