Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Campbell Grinder 1000C2000 that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.
Overview
The Campbell Grinder 1000C2000 is the largest machine in its series: a CNC vertical cylindrical grinder that swings 2,159 mm (85.0 in) and accepts parts 1,524 mm (60.0 in) tall. The machine itself measures 4.45 m x 5.33 m x 4.57 m in depth, length and height.
Parts of that size come in by crane, and the enclosure is designed for it. Campbell describes overhead crane access to a fully sealed grind zone, with labyrinth door seals, LED illumination and Kevlar bellows. The enclosure has full safety interlocks and is engineered to contain debris from a wheel failure. A raised operator platform is on the option list.
How the part is carried is largely a matter of specification. The standard table runs in a roller style bearing; a hydrostatic table bearing, a magnetic chuck, automatic shoes, a steady rest with live center and a contouring or high speed C-axis are all listed as options. The C axis table spindle is specified at 2.5 microns (0.0001 in) of runout, measured 305 mm (12 in) above the table top.
The linear axes are X and Z, each accurate to 5 microns (0.0002 in), and the grinding spindle is listed at up to 60 HP (44.7 kW). Control is a Fanuc 32 with up to 4 axis simultaneous contouring. The spindle swivel B axis is optional.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Up to 2,159 mm (85.0 in) in swing diameter and 1,524 mm (60.0 in) in height. That is the largest swing and the tallest part in the series table; the 1000C1500 below it swings 1,651 mm (65.0 in) with 1,016 mm (40.0 in) of part height.
02
The catalogue gives the machine as 4.45 m x 5.33 m x 4.57 m in depth, length and height. Allow for overhead crane travel as well, since parts are loaded from above. A raised operator platform, a mist collector and a dust collector are listed as options and add to the layout.
03
From above. Campbell describes overhead crane access to the grind zone, which is otherwise fully sealed with labyrinth door seals. The enclosure has full safety interlocks and is engineered to contain debris from a wheel failure.
04
The standard feature list names a roller style table bearing. Options include a hydrostatic table bearing, a magnetic chuck, automatic shoes, a C-axis contouring rotary work table and a high speed C-axis. The table spindle is specified at 2.5 microns (0.0001 in) of runout, radial and axial.
