Q: How much does the Chevalier FSG-B818CNCII cost?

The price estimate for the Chevalier FSG-B818CNCII is uncertain: we have no price for it that we can cite and no estimate we can stand behind, so we give no figure. Configuration, tooling, automation and installation move the final price substantially. A specific price can be requested at https://machinetoolindex.com/machines/chevalier-fsg-b818cncii#price; the request is passed to Chevalier Machinery or an authorised dealer.

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the Chevalier FSG-B818CNCII 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 Chevalier FSG-B818CNCII is a three-axis CNC surface grinder with an 18 in (457 mm) by 8 in (203 mm) grinding area, run from a FANUC control. It is the small machine in Chevalier's FANUC-controlled surface grinder pair, built for profile and form work on toolroom-sized parts and not for covering a large chuck.

All three axes are driven by AC servo motors through precision ball screws, which Chevalier says makes the machine suitable for creep-feed grinding. Table travel is 25.5 in (650 mm) and cross travel 11 in (280 mm), so the table overruns the grinding length at both ends. The column feeds at 0 to 118 ipm and the wheelhead at 0 to 39 ipm. Up to 19 in (480 mm) of height is available between the table and the wheel centerline, and the table carries 440 lb (200 kg).

The spindle is variable from 500 to 3,500 rpm and the standard rating is 15 hp, with 20 hp as an option. That is a lot of power for a wheel of Ø12 in x 1.25 in x Ø3 in, and it is what lets a narrow formed wheel take a deep creep-feed pass without stalling. Chevalier lists profile (contour), form and step grinding with automatic wheel dressing and compensation as the machine's cycles.

The column traverses on precision roller bearings over hardened and ground guideways. At 8,708 lb (3,950 kg) the machine is heavy for its chuck size, which is normal for a grinder meant to hold a form under load. The maker's floor space row prints figures that do not agree between its inch and metric columns, so ask for a foundation drawing before planning the layout.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

All three axes are AC servo driven through precision ball screws, which the maker rates as suitable for creep-feed grinding
15 hp spindle as standard with 20 hp optional, on a wheel only 1.25 in (31.75 mm) wide
Spindle speed is variable from 500 to 3,500 rpm, so wheel surface speed can be held as the wheel wears
Profile, form and step grinding cycles with automatic wheel dressing and compensation are listed by the maker
19 in (480 mm) from table to wheel centerline leaves room for fixtures, sine plates and dressing units

Limitations

Grinding area is 18 in (457 mm) by 8 in (203 mm); anything longer belongs on the FSG-C1224CNCII
Table load is limited to 440 lb (200 kg), fixture and chuck included
The 20 hp spindle motor is an option, not the standard 15 hp fit
The maker's table gives no clean floor space figure for this model, so the footprint has to be confirmed before installation

Best For

Creep-feed and form grinding of small tooling components Punches, die inserts and gauges within an 18 in (457 mm) by 8 in (203 mm) area Step and contour profiles that need automatic dressing and compensation Toolrooms that want servo control on all three axes in a small grinder

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What size of work fits the Chevalier FSG-B818CNCII?

The grinding area is 18 in (457 mm) long by 8 in (203 mm) wide, with 25.5 in (650 mm) of table travel and 11 in (280 mm) of cross travel. The distance from the table to the wheel centerline is 19 in (480 mm), and the table is rated for 440 lb (200 kg).

02 Can the FSG-B818CNCII do creep-feed grinding?

Chevalier states that all three axes are AC servo motor driven and that this makes the machine suitable for creep-feed grinding. The spindle is rated 15 hp as standard with 20 hp optional, and its speed is variable from 500 to 3,500 rpm.

03 Which control does the FSG-B818CNCII use?

The specification table lists a FANUC control, and the maker's feature list describes a three-axis FANUC CNC with an 8.4 in LCD screen. Run-hour display, ladder search, instruction display and a G-code menu display are named as standard control features.

04 What grinding wheel does the machine take?

The wheel is Ø12 in x 1.25 in x Ø3 in (Ø305 x 31.75 x Ø76.2 mm), given as outside diameter, width and bore. Automatic wheel dressing with compensation is part of the listed grinding cycles, so the control corrects for the material removed from the wheel.
