Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Chevalier SMART-H24160IV 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-H24160IV is the largest machine in the SMART-IV range, a four-metre grinder with a 23.6 in x 157.5 in (600 x 4,000 mm) table and 165.4 in (4,200 mm) of travel. Nothing else in the series comes close in length, and few toolroom grinders anywhere are built this long with a conversational profile control.
The numbers that matter at this size are logistical. The machine weighs 38,550 lb (17,500 kg). It occupies 440.9 in x 130.7 in x 112.2 in (11,200 x 3,320 x 2,850 mm), which is nearly 37 feet from end to end. The table accepts 6,160 lb (2,800 kg). A part that fills the table has to be lifted on evenly, so overhead crane coverage along the whole stroke is as much a part of the purchase as the grinder.
The grinding end is shared with the rest of the 24 in frame, and that is the trade-off. One 15 hp (11 kW) spindle, variable from 500 to 2,200 rpm, with a wheel 16 in in diameter and 2 in wide, has to cover a surface of 157.5 in by 23.6 in. Full-width surface grinding of a four-metre plate is a long cycle. Cross travel is 27.0 in (685 mm) at 0 to 16.4 fpm, and table speed is 16 to 98.4 fpm.
Like the SMART-H24120IV, this model is listed as an H machine only. Height from table to wheel centerline is 33.5 in (850 mm). Chevalier lists automatic dressing with compensation and USB or Ethernet data transfer for the series.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The table is 23.6 in x 157.5 in (600 x 4,000 mm), which is also the grinding area. Table travel is 165.4 in (4,200 mm), cross travel 27.0 in (685 mm), and the table load limit is 6,160 lb (2,800 kg). There is 33.5 in (850 mm) from the table to the wheel centerline.
02
One metre of length. The SMART-H24160IV grinds 157.5 in (4,000 mm) and the SMART-H24120IV 118.1 in (3,000 mm). Against the SMART-H24120IV, table load is 6,160 lb (2,800 kg) instead of 5,280 lb (2,400 kg) and net weight 38,550 lb (17,500 kg) instead of 33,400 lb (15,000 kg). Spindle, wheel, cross travel and clearance are identical.
03
A footprint of 440.9 in x 130.7 in x 112.2 in (11,200 x 3,320 x 2,850 mm) and a net weight of 38,550 lb (17,500 kg). The maker's table gives no foundation or power figures, so request the foundation drawing and electrical data with the quotation.
04
Table speed is listed for the H version only, at 16 to 98.4 fpm (5 to 30 m/min). Cross feed speed is 0 to 16.4 fpm (0 to 5,000 mm/min). Spindle speed is variable from 500 to 2,200 rpm.
