Chevalier SMART-H/B2048IV

Q: How much does the Chevalier SMART-H/B2048IV cost?

The price estimate for the Chevalier SMART-H/B2048IV 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-smart-h-b2048iv#price; the request is passed to Chevalier Machinery or an authorised dealer.

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the Chevalier SMART-H/B2048IV 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 SMART-H/B2048IV opens the heavy half of the SMART-IV range: a 47.2 in (1,200 mm) by 19.7 in (500 mm) grinding area on a machine that weighs 14,100 lb (6,400 kg). The jump from the 16 in wide SMART-H/B1640IV is bigger than the dimensions suggest, because table load rises from 1,036 lb (470 kg) to 2,755 lb (1,250 kg).

That load rating is the reason to pick this size. A mould base or a stack of plates on a magnetic chuck gets heavy quickly, and a table that carries 2,755 lb lets the full 19.7 in width be used. Clearance grows too, to 28.7 in (730 mm) from table to wheel centerline. Table travel is 51.2 in (1,300 mm) and cross travel 22.0 in (560 mm).

The spindle end is unchanged from the mid-size machines. A 15 hp (11 kW) motor drives a Ø14 in x 2 in x Ø5 in wheel between 500 and 1,800 rpm, in a cartridge spindle on four Class 7 (P4) angular contact ball bearings. Chevalier lists automatic dressing with compensation during the grinding cycle.

Table speed is 16 to 98.4 fpm on the H version, faster than on the smaller models, and 0 to 65.6 fpm on the B. The H occupies 190.9 in x 119.7 in x 86.6 in and the B 173.2 in x 119.7 in x 86.6 in. The maker's table size row prints a metric figure that cannot be right for this model, so take the table dimensions from the grinding area or ask for a drawing.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Table load of 2,755 lb (1,250 kg), well over twice that of the SMART-H/B1640IV
47.2 in (1,200 mm) by 19.7 in (500 mm) grinding area
28.7 in (730 mm) from table to wheel centerline
H version table speed runs up to 98.4 fpm (30 m/min)
Cartridge spindle on four Class 7 (P4) angular contact ball bearings

Limitations

Still the 14 in wheel and 1,800 rpm top speed of the smaller machines; the 16 in wheel starts with the SMART-H/B2448IV
Cross feed speed is 0 to 10 fpm, against 0 to 16.4 fpm on the SMART-H/B2448IV and the other wide-frame models
Weighs 14,100 lb (6,400 kg) and needs up to 190.9 in of width
The maker's table does not give a usable table size figure for this model

Best For

Mould bases and die plates up to 47.2 in (1,200 mm) long Heavy workpieces up to 2,755 lb (1,250 kg) on the table Batch grinding of several plates across a 19.7 in (500 mm) width Profile and surface work on mid-size tooling

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What does the SMART-H/B2048IV add over the SMART-H/B1640IV?

Width, clearance and above all load. Against the SMART-H/B1640IV, grinding width goes from 16 in (406 mm) to 19.7 in (500 mm), height to the wheel centerline from 23.6 in (600 mm) to 28.7 in (730 mm), and table load from 1,036 lb (470 kg) to 2,755 lb (1,250 kg). The spindle motor, speed range and wheel size stay the same.

02 What are the travels of the SMART-H/B2048IV?

Maximum table travel is 51.2 in (1,300 mm) and maximum cross travel is 22.0 in (560 mm). Both exceed the 47.2 in (1,200 mm) by 19.7 in (500 mm) grinding area, which leaves room for the wheel to run off the work at each end.

03 How fast is the table?

The H version is listed at 16 to 98.4 fpm (5 to 30 m/min) and the B version at 0 to 65.6 fpm (0 to 20 m/min). Cross feed speed is 0 to 10 fpm (0 to 3,000 mm/min) on both versions.

04 How heavy is the machine and how much room does it take?

Net weight is 14,100 lb (6,400 kg). Floor space is 190.9 in x 119.7 in x 86.6 in (4,850 x 3,040 x 2,200 mm) for the H version and 173.2 in x 119.7 in x 86.6 in (4,400 x 3,040 x 2,200 mm) for the B version.
