Danobat CG-600

Q: How much does the Danobat CG-600 cost?

The price estimate for the Danobat CG-600 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/danobat-cg-600#price; the request is passed to Danobat or an authorised dealer.

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the Danobat CG-600 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 Danobat CG-600 is the shortest machine in the CG line of production cylindrical grinders, with 600 mm (23.62 in) between centers and a 440 mm (17 in) maximum ground diameter. Its grinding wheel is larger than the part it is likely to hold: Ø610 x 160 mm (Ø24 x 6.29 in), run at up to 80 m/s (15,750 sfpm).

A wheel that size on a bed this short is a statement about volume. A big wheel wears more slowly between dressings and a 160 mm width allows plunge grinding of a wide journal in one pass, both of which matter when the same shaft is ground thousands of times. Danobat states that the CG wheelhead delivers up to 25 kW (33.5 hp), with constant peripheral wheel speed and fully automatic wheel balancing.

Between centers the machine carries 500 kg (1,100 lb), the same as its longer siblings, so on the CG-600 the weight limit will rarely be the constraint. Length will. The tailstock quill is described as ranging from 80 to 170 mm (3.1 to 6.7 in), and tailstock axes with strokes of up to 600 mm (23.6 in) are available for families of parts with different lengths.

The bed is natural granite with coolant routed through the bed and grinding area, the axes are driven by linear motors, and the workhead is direct driven. Wheelhead layout is a choice: straight, angular, or a swivelling B axis holding several wheels. Shops that need more length on the same wheel and bed concept should look at the CG-1000, which offers 1,000 mm (39.37 in) between centers with the same 440 mm (17 in) diameter.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Ø610 x 160 mm (Ø24 x 6.29 in) wheel on a 600 mm (23.62 in) machine, run at up to 80 m/s (15,750 sfpm)
Wheelhead power of up to 25 kW (33.5 hp) with constant peripheral speed and automatic wheel balancing
500 kg (1,100 lb) between centers, generous for parts this short
Automatic wheel changing cycle and automatic set-up cycle for dressing a new straight wheel
Natural granite bed, linear motors and a direct-drive workhead

Limitations

600 mm (23.62 in) between centers excludes longer shafts; the CG-1000 and CG-1800 exist for those
Maximum ground diameter is 440 mm (17 in), below the 540 mm (21 in) of the CG-1800
Wheel speed tops out at 80 m/s (15,750 sfpm)
B axis, measuring systems and synchronous tailstocks are customisation items, not a described standard

Best For

High-volume short parts such as steering pinions, taps and drills Plunge grinding wide journals with a 160 mm wide wheel Boring bars and other tooling, which Danobat lists among CG workpieces Automated cells where a robot or gantry loads parts under 600 mm (23.62 in)

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What size of workpiece does the CG-600 grind?

Up to 600 mm (23.62 in) between centers, up to 440 mm (17 in) in ground diameter and up to 500 kg (1,100 lb) between centers. The CG-1000 keeps the diameter and weight and extends the length to 1,000 mm (39.37 in).

02 What grinding wheel does the CG-600 use?

The maximum wheel is Ø610 x 160 mm (Ø24 x 6.29 in), with a maximum peripheral speed of 80 m/s (15,750 sfpm). Danobat states up to 25 kW for the CG wheel, along with constant peripheral wheel speed, fully automatic balancing and metallic coolant nozzles matched to the wheel shape.

03 Which wheelhead configurations are offered on the CG-600?

Danobat describes straight (S) and angular (A) infeed types and a full swivelling wheel head B axis that can hold several configurations. A straight head suits plain diameters, an angular head grinds a diameter and a shoulder together, and the B axis is the route to several wheels in one clamping.

04 How is in-process measurement handled?

The measuring options listed are a touch probe, in-process, post-process and non-contact measuring, and the MDM automatic in- and post-process gauge. For the MDM Danobat quotes ±1.5 μm accuracy and 1 μm repeatability. A measuring head can be mounted on the W axis for automatic axial positioning.
