Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Palmary PCB-3015 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 Palmary PCB-3015 is the 150 mm wheel version of Palmary's small 6-axis CNC centerless grinder. It grinds Ø0.3 to Ø25 mm, the same range as the PCB-3010, with wheels half as wide again and a larger motor.
The table shows exactly what changes with the wider wheel. The grinding wheel becomes Ø305 mm by 150 mm and the regulating wheel Ø205 mm by 150 mm. The grinding wheel motor is 5.5 kW (7.4 hp), where the PCB-3010 has 3.7 kW. And the Y and B traverses are 170 mm (6.7 in), where the PCB-3010 has 120 mm, which fits axes that move across the wheel face, such as dresser traverses. X stays at 100 mm (3.9 in), C at 60 mm (2.4 in), Z at 45 mm (1.8 in) and A at 35 mm (1.4 in).
Unlike Palmary's FCL-1810, then, this wide model gets the power to use its width. For through-feed work on small diameters a 150 mm zone raises throughput; for infeed it admits longer parts.
Grinding speed is 45 m/s (8,858 ft/min). The regulating wheel motor is 0.75 kW (1.0 hp), with 10 to 200 rpm. The coolant pump is listed for both wheel and dressing cooling, and the coolant tank holds 100 L (26.4 gal). A FANUC CNC controller, both work rests and a spindle lubrication system are standard; an automatic loading and unloading system, in-process gauge and enclosure are options. Weight is 2,200 kg (4,850 lb).

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Standard grinding range Ø0.3 to Ø25 mm. Grinding wheel Ø305 x 150 mm on a 177.8 mm bore; regulating wheel Ø205 x 150 mm on a 90 mm bore. Machine weight is 2,200 kg (4,850 lb).
02
For wheel width and power. The PCB-3010 has 100 mm wheels and a 3.7 kW (5.0 hp) grinding motor. The PCB-3015 has 150 mm wheels and 5.5 kW (7.4 hp). The diameter range, wheel speed and control are the same.
03
Variable speed from 10 to 200 rpm. Tilt angle ±5°, swivel angle ±0.5°. The regulating wheel dressing device swivels ±5° and its offset is adjustable from 0 to 5 mm.
04
Palmary says unmanned production is possible when the automatic loading and unloading system is added, and that the 6-axis controller can be arranged with a 4-axis robot system. Both are options, as is the size measuring system.
