Palmary OCD-45300

Q: How much does the Palmary OCD-45300 cost?

The price estimate for the Palmary OCD-45300 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/palmary-ocd-45300#price; the request is passed to Palmary or an authorised dealer.

We do not have a price for the Palmary OCD-45300 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

Three metres between centers is the headline of the Palmary OCD-45300, a heavy duty CNC cylindrical grinder for long rolls and shafts. The exact figure is 3,000 mm (118.1 in), with Ø450 mm (17.7 in) of swing and Ø420 mm (16.5 in) of grinding diameter.

On a bed this long the slideway is the machine. Palmary describes enlarged stride and rail width on the longitudinal and traverse tables, precision scraping on horizontal and vertical faces, and a hydrostatic structure for light, steady table movement. The table stroke is 3,520 mm (138.6 in) and the servo motor behind it is rated 4.4 kW (5.9 hp).

The trade-off of length is taper range. The table swivels only 0° to 3°, and because the work spindle head is fixed, that is all the angular adjustment there is. Parts for this machine are parallel, or formed by the wheel: Palmary notes the external wheel can grind a formed outside diameter in one pass, and wheel width may go up to 125 mm on the 11 kW (14.8 hp) spindle.

Load capacity is 800 kg (1,764 lb) between No. 5 Morse taper centers, the same as on the shortest model of the series, so very long parts must still be watched for weight. The hydraulic tailstock is standard, as are the FANUC CNC controller and an X-axis linear scale. Machine weight is 16,000 kg (35,273 lb).

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How long a workpiece does the Palmary OCD-45300 take?

Up to 3,000 mm (118.1 in) between centers. The table (Z axis) stroke is 3,520 mm (138.6 in). Diameter capacity is Ø420 mm (16.5 in) under a swing of Ø450 mm (17.7 in), and the weight limit between centers is 800 kg (1,764 lb).

02 What support is offered for long parts on the OCD-45300?

Palmary lists a heavy type 2-point steady rest, a heavy type 3-point steady rest and heavy type work holders for Ø30 to Ø100 mm as optional accessories, plus a live work center. The standard hydraulic tailstock has 60 mm (2.4 in) of motion.

03 What power supply does the OCD-45300 need?

Total power is 30 kVA. The main consumers in the table are the 11 kW (14.8 hp) wheel spindle motor, the 4.4 kW (5.9 hp) table feed servo, the 2.9 kW (3.9 hp) workhead servo and the 2.8 kW (3.8 hp) wheelhead feed servo.

04 Is the OCD-45300 the longest heavy duty model?

No. The OCD-45400 reaches 4,000 mm (157.5 in) between centers with a 4,620 mm (181.9 in) table stroke, and weighs 18,000 kg (39,683 lb). The OCD-45300 has 3,000 mm (118.1 in) between centers and weighs 16,000 kg (35,273 lb).
