Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a cnc grinding machine in this class — not a quote from ELB-Schliff. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The ELB-Schliff smartLine W is a CNC surface grinder whose listed figures cover several table variants, the largest being 400 x 1,000 mm (15.7 x 39.4 in). The model is not in ELB-Schliff's current lineup, so this page is a reference for an older machine. Most rows are stated as upper limits across the variants, not as one fixed size, and the build of any specific unit has to be confirmed.
Longitudinal travel reaches up to 1,100 mm (43.3 in) and cross travel up to 450 mm (17.7 in), each a little more than the largest table so the wheel can run off the work at both ends. Vertical travel is 450 mm (17.7 in), but the workpiece itself is limited to 280 mm (11 in) in height and 250 kg (550 lb). That weight limit is the figure to check first. A steel plate covering the largest table gets heavy quickly, so the machine suits tooling plates, die components and fixtures of moderate thickness more than large blocks.
The grinding spindle is listed at 4 – 7.5 kW (5.4 – 10 HP) and 2,700 – 3,600 RPM, ranges that point to more than one spindle variant, and it carries a wheel of up to 350 mm (13.8 in) in diameter and 50 mm (2 in) in width. Table speed spans 2 – 30,000 mm/min, which covers slow feeds for heavier single passes as well as fast reciprocating strokes. The cross and vertical axes run on linear guideways, the base is cast iron, an electro-permanent magnetic chuck is standard, and the control is an ELB CNC with graphical grinding cycle programming.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Table variants up to 400 x 1,000 mm (15.7 x 39.4 in), with up to 1,100 mm (43.3 in) of longitudinal travel
- Table speed range of 2 – 30,000 mm/min covers slow heavy passes and fast reciprocating grinding
- An electro-permanent magnetic chuck is listed as standard
- ELB CNC with graphical grinding cycle programming, and linear guideways on the cross and vertical axes
Limitations
- Workpiece weight is limited to 250 kg (550 lb), low for a table of up to 400 x 1,000 mm (15.7 x 39.4 in)
- Workpiece height stops at 280 mm (11 in) even though vertical travel is 450 mm (17.7 in)
- Table size, travels, spindle power of 4 – 7.5 kW (5.4 – 10 HP) and spindle speed are given as ranges across variants, so one machine's build has to be confirmed
- No dressing system, accuracy figure or machine weight appears in the listed figures

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The listed figures give a table of up to 400 x 1,000 mm (15.7 x 39.4 in) and note multiple variants without breaking them out. Travels follow the same pattern: up to 1,100 mm (43.3 in) longitudinal and up to 450 mm (17.7 in) cross. The table size of a particular machine has to be read from its own plate or documents.
02
Maximum workpiece weight is 250 kg (550 lb) and maximum workpiece height is 280 mm (11 in). Vertical travel is 450 mm (17.7 in), so the height limit is tighter than the axis stroke and is the one to plan around.
03
The wheel is up to 350 mm (13.8 in) in diameter and 50 mm (2 in) wide. Spindle power is listed as 4 – 7.5 kW (5.4 – 10 HP) and spindle speed as 2,700 – 3,600 RPM. Both are ranges, which suggests different spindles on different variants, so check the rating of the machine in question.
04
An electro-permanent magnetic chuck is standard. The control is an ELB CNC with graphical grinding cycle programming, so cycles are set up on screen instead of being written as code. No dressing equipment is named in the listed figures.
