Overview

The Palmary OCD-32100E is a special-purpose CNC cylindrical grinder for machine tool spindles. It has the Ø320 mm (12.6 in) swing and 1,000 mm (39.4 in) center distance of the standard OCD-32100, and almost nothing else in common with it.

Start with load. The OCD-32100 carries 150 kg (331 lb); the E version is rated for 500 kg (1,102 lb) between centers, and the table gives the same 500 kg for the work spindle. Palmary attributes this to slides that are widened, thickened and fully closed hydrostatic, on a bed with a lowered center of gravity.

Next, resolution and travel. Both axes have a 0.0001 mm minimum increment. The wheelhead strokes 400 mm (15.7 in) and the table 1,400 mm (55.1 in); Palmary says the strokes were increased to suit large-angle grinding, which is what a spindle taper needs. Rapid traverse is deliberately modest at 6 m/min (236 ipm). The table swivels from -2° to 9°, and the work spindle head is fixed.

The wheel is Ø510 mm in diameter and 50 mm wide on a 203.2 mm bore, driven by 7.5 kW and running in a hydro-static bearing. The tailstock stroke is 60 mm (2.4 in). Coolant capacity is only 60 L (15.9 gal), small for a machine of 4,500 kg (9,921 lb), so an external filtration unit from the option list is likely. Control is FANUC.

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What is the Palmary OCD-32100E built for?

Spindle grinding. Palmary lists it as a special purpose cylindrical grinder for spindles, with a reinforced bed, fully closed hydrostatic slides and longer X and Z strokes for large-angle grinding. Capacity is Ø300 mm (11.8 in) by 1,000 mm (39.4 in) between centers.

02 How does the OCD-32100E differ from the OCD-32100?

The OCD-32100 carries 150 kg (331 lb), has a 260 mm (10.2 in) wheelhead stroke and weighs 4,300 kg (9,480 lb). The OCD-32100E carries 500 kg (1,102 lb), has a 400 mm (15.7 in) wheelhead stroke, a fixed workhead and 0.0001 mm increments, and weighs 4,500 kg (9,921 lb).

03 What wheel and motor does the OCD-32100E have?

A Ø510 mm wheel, 50 mm wide, with a 203.2 mm bore, at 33 m/s (6,496 ft/min). The wheel spindle motor is 7.5 kW. Palmary's introduction also says the enlarged hydrostatic wheel spindle can carry a wheel up to 125 mm wide for plunge grinding.

04 What are the axis travels of the OCD-32100E?

X axis (wheelhead) 400 mm (15.7 in) and Z axis (table) 1,400 mm (55.1 in), each with a rapid advance of 6 m/min (236 ipm) and a minimum increment of 0.0001 mm. Both feed axes use 1.8 kW AC servo motors, and a linear scale for X is standard.
