Overview

The Chevalier FSG-C1224CNCII is a heavy CNC surface grinder: a 24 in (610 mm) by 12 in (305 mm) grinding area under a 30 hp spindle, with 50 hp available as an option. Chevalier sells it as its heavy-duty FANUC-controlled model, and the wheel says why. It is Ø14 in x 4 in x Ø5 in, a 4 in (102 mm) wide wheel on a machine whose whole grinding width is 12 in (305 mm).

A wheel that wide is there for stock removal and for wide forms. The spindle that drives it runs from 500 to 3500 rpm and, according to the maker, sits in six ABEC class 7 (P4) angular contact ball bearings. All three axes are AC servo driven, and Chevalier describes the machine as suitable for creep-feed grinding.

Each axis has its own way system. The table (X) rides on double V guideways coated with Turcite-B, the vertical axis (Y) on hardened and ground box guideways, and the cross axis (Z) on linear guideways. Table speed is variable from 0.393 to 590 ipm (10 to 15,000 mm/min), which covers both a slow creep-feed pass and conventional reciprocating strokes. Travel is 32 in (810 mm) along the table and 16 in (400 mm) across.

The control runs four automatic cycles: rapid approach, rough grinding, fine grinding, and wheel dressing with automatic compensation. The table takes 920 lb (420 kg). The machine itself weighs 19,800 lb (9,000 kg) and needs 158 in x 116 in x 105 in of floor and height, so it is a foundation job and not something to move in on skates between two other machines.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

  • 30 hp spindle as standard, with a 50 hp option, on a 24 in (610 mm) by 12 in (305 mm) grinding area
  • Takes a 4 in (102 mm) wide, 14 in diameter wheel for heavy stock removal and wide forms
  • Table speed is variable from 0.393 to 590 ipm (10 to 15,000 mm/min), from creep-feed rates to reciprocating strokes
  • Four automatic cycles are listed: rapid approach, rough grinding, fine grinding, and wheel dressing with automatic compensation
  • The spindle is carried in six ABEC class 7 (P4) angular contact ball bearings, according to the maker

Limitations

  • Weighs 19,800 lb (9,000 kg) and occupies 158 in x 116 in x 105 in, far more than a toolroom grinder of the same chuck size
  • Table load is 920 lb (420 kg), modest next to the spindle power
  • The 50 hp motor is an option; the standard machine has 30 hp
  • Cross travel is 16 in (400 mm), so parts wider than the 12 in (305 mm) grinding width cannot be covered
06

Best For

Creep-feed grinding of forms in hardened steel Heavy stock removal on parts up to 24 in (610 mm) long Wide-wheel plunge and form work with a 4 in (102 mm) wheel Production cells that run rough, finish and dress cycles unattended

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How does the FSG-C1224CNCII differ from the FSG-B818CNCII?

Size and power. The FSG-C1224CNCII grinds 24 in (610 mm) by 12 in (305 mm) with a 30 hp spindle (50 hp optional) and a 4 in wide wheel. The FSG-B818CNCII grinds 18 in (457 mm) by 8 in (203 mm) with 15 hp (20 hp optional) and a 1.25 in wide wheel. Both use a FANUC control and AC servo drives on all three axes.

02 What guideways does the FSG-C1224CNCII have?

Chevalier lists a different way system on each axis. The X axis has double V guideways coated with Turcite-B, the Y axis has hardened and ground box guideways, and the Z axis runs on linear guideways. All three are driven by AC servo motors.

03 How fast does the table move?

Table speed is variable from 0.393 to 590 ipm (10 to 15,000 mm/min). The column feeds at 0 to 118 ipm (0 to 3,000 mm/min) and the wheelhead at 0 to 39 ipm (0 to 1,000 mm/min). Table travel is 32 in (810 mm) and cross travel is 16 in (400 mm).

04 What does the FSG-C1224CNCII need on the shop floor?

The table gives a floor space of 158 in x 116 in x 105 in (4,000 x 2,940 x 2,660 mm) and a net weight of 19,800 lb (9,000 kg). The electrical supply is not stated in the maker's table, so ask for it with the 30 hp or 50 hp spindle you intend to order.
