Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Palmary PCB-6025GF-4 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-6025GF-4 is the 255 mm wheel version of Palmary's two-slide CNC centerless grinder for long bar. It grinds Ø2 to Ø100 mm as standard with a Ø610 mm wheel and a 40 HP (29.8 kW) motor.
Bar grinding is a through-feed business, and through-feed rate follows wheel width. With 255 mm of grinding zone instead of the 205 mm of the PCB-6020GF-4, the same stock comes off at a higher bar speed, or more stock at the same speed. Here the motor is big enough for the wider wheel to be used fully, which is not true of every wide-wheel variant in Palmary's range.
The machine has four CNC axes and feeds from both sides. The grinding wheel unit sits on a square slide and the regulating wheel unit on a dovetail slide, both with ball screw and reducer, and the work rest between them is fixed. Palmary's reasoning is stability: a rest that never moves keeps its accuracy.
The regulating wheel is Ø330 mm by 255 mm, driven by a 3 kW (4.0 hp) servo at 10 to 200 rpm, with ±5° of tilt for through-feed. Coolant capacity is 140 L (37.0 gal), a small sump for a 40 HP grinder, so plan on external filtration from the option list. The standard accessories include a FANUC CNC controller and a fully enclosed splash guard. Weight is listed as 6,500 kg (14,330 lb).

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Outer diameter grinding of long bar. Palmary says the two-slide design is suitable for that application and that the work rest fixed in the machine gives better grinding accuracy. The standard range is Ø2 to Ø100 mm.
02
The PCB-6020GF-4 has 205 mm wide wheels and a 125 L (33.0 gal) coolant tank. The PCB-6025GF-4 has 255 mm wide wheels and a 140 L (37.0 gal) coolant tank. Motors and listed weight are the same.
03
The grinding wheel device slide is a square slide with ball screw and reducer, and a linear scale can be added as an option. The regulating wheel device slide is a dovetail slide with ball screw and reducer. Slides are lubricated automatically.
04
A magnetic coolant separator, a paper filter, a hydrocyclone coolant separator, an oil mist collector and a water cooler are listed as optional accessories. The standard coolant tank holds 140 L (37.0 gal).
