Our best estimate for a cnc grinding machine in this class — not a quote from ELB-Schliff. Configuration moves it a long way.

ELB-Schliff SW 6 Series — price

Est.$80,000 - $180,000

This is our best estimate for a machine of this type and class, built from published prices of comparable cnc grinding machines and typical dealer pricing. ELB-Schliff has not published a list price for the ELB-Schliff SW 6 Series that we can cite. Treat it as a planning number, not a quote.

What moves the final price

  • Spindle, control and probing options
  • Tool changer capacity and tooling package
  • Automation — pallet changers, bar feeders, robot cells
  • Freight, rigging, installation and training
  • Region, dealer and time of year

Overview

The ELB-Schliff SW 6 Series is a CNC surface grinder built around a 600 x 350 mm (23.6 x 13.8 in) standard table, with 700 mm (27.6 in) of table traverse, 420 mm (16.5 in) of cross traverse and 500 mm (19.7 in) of vertical travel. It is not part of ELB-Schliff's current lineup. The listed figures are most useful for sizing up a machine that is already in a shop.

Capacity is modest and well matched. The chuck is 600 x 350 mm, in electromagnetic or manual versions, and takes up to 200 kg (441 lb). Because the chuck type is a choice, check which one a given machine has. The wheel is up to 400 mm (16 in) in diameter x 50 mm (2 in) wide, driven by a 5.5 kW (7.4 hp) spindle with a variable range of 1,000 - 3,000 RPM.

For finishing work the listed figures give positioning accuracy of ±0.003 mm, flatness of < 0.003 mm over 300 mm and a surface finish of Ra 0.10 µm, the last one qualified as achievable with a fine wheel and spark-out. Dressing is automatic and programmable, using a single-point diamond dresser. No diamond roll or profile dressing unit is named.

The installation data is complete enough to plan from: 400 VAC 3-phase 50 Hz at 32 A, 200 L (53 gal) of coolant and a machine weight of 3,500 kg (7,716 lb). The control is a Siemens 828D CNC.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

  • Automatic, programmable dressing with a single-point diamond dresser
  • Listed flatness of < 0.003 mm over 300 mm and positioning accuracy of ±0.003 mm
  • 600 x 350 mm (23.6 x 13.8 in) table with 700 mm (27.6 in) of table traverse and 420 mm (16.5 in) of cross traverse
  • Variable spindle speed of 1,000 - 3,000 RPM with a wheel up to 400 mm (16 in) in diameter
  • Light installation demands: 32 A at 400 VAC 3-phase and a machine weight of 3,500 kg (7,716 lb)

Limitations

  • Workpiece weight on the chuck is limited to 200 kg (441 lb)
  • 5.5 kW (7.4 hp) of spindle power and a 50 mm (2 in) wheel width limit stock removal per pass
  • Ra 0.10 µm is listed only as achievable with a fine wheel and spark-out, so it should not be expected from a roughing setup
  • The electrical row gives only 400 VAC 3-phase 50 Hz, so a site on a different supply needs to confirm compatibility
06

Best For

Toolroom surface grinding of plates and die parts up to 600 x 350 mm Flat finishing where < 0.003 mm over 300 mm is required Small-batch work that benefits from programmable automatic dressing

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What are the table size and travels of the SW 6 Series?

The standard table is 600 x 350 mm (23.6 x 13.8 in). Table traverse in X is 700 mm (27.6 in), cross traverse in Y is 420 mm (16.5 in) and vertical travel in Z is 500 mm (19.7 in). The chuck is the same 600 x 350 mm size and carries up to 200 kg (441 lb).

02 What dressing system does the SW 6 Series use?

Automatic dressing is listed, with a programmable single-point diamond dresser. The listed figures name no diamond roll, so wheel forms have to be generated by the single-point tool under program control.

03 What surface finish and flatness can the SW 6 Series reach?

The listed figures give flatness of < 0.003 mm over 300 mm and a surface finish of Ra 0.10 µm, the finish being achievable with a fine wheel and spark-out. Positioning accuracy is ±0.003 mm. Results on a used machine depend on its condition, so ask for a test grind.

04 What power supply and coolant capacity does the SW 6 Series need?

The electrical row reads 400 VAC 3-phase 50 Hz, 32 A. Coolant capacity is 200 L (53 gal) and the machine weighs 3,500 kg (7,716 lb). The spindle motor is 5.5 kW (7.4 hp).
