How much does the Palmary VIG-80 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Palmary VIG-80 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 VIG-80 is the mid-size CNC vertical grinder of the VIG range, with a Ø850 mm (33.5 in) face plate and a 1,000 kg (2,205 lb) workpiece load. It grinds outside diameters from Ø65 to 800 mm and parts up to 500 mm (19.7 in) long.
Between the VIG-50 and this machine almost every component steps up a class. Against the VIG-50 the wheel spindle goes from 15 kW to 22 kW (29.5 hp) and from HSK-E63 to HSK-E100 tooling. Axis motors are 7 kW (9.4 hp), where the VIG-50 has 4 kW. Coolant capacity doubles to 1,200 L (317.0 gal), power rises to 42 kVA and weight to 13,000 kg (28,660 lb). The speed range drops, as it should with bigger wheels: 1,800 to 10,000 rpm for wheels of Ø60 to 305 mm.
The working envelope is 1,330 mm (52.4 in) in X and 700 mm (27.6 in) in Z. A long X travel on a vertical grinder is what lets one wheel reach both the bore and the outside of a large ring, and lets the spindle travel to the wheel changer, which holds up to 6 wheels. The table turns at 15 to 150 rpm.
Bore depth is 275 mm for bores up to Ø225 and 500 mm for larger ones, and outside grinding length is 500 mm (19.7 in). Setting units are 0.0001 mm with fully closed loop scales on X and Z. Palmary describes cross roller type linear guideways with extra heavy load capacity and a honeycomb tubular base. Control is FANUC, with gap control included.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Ø850 mm (33.5 in) face plate carrying 1,000 kg (2,205 lb)
- 22 kW (29.5 hp) built-in spindle with HSK-E100 tooling
- 1,330 mm (52.4 in) of X travel and a 6-wheel automatic changer
- 1,200 L (317.0 gal) coolant system
Limitations
- 13,000 kg (28,660 lb) and 42 kVA to install
- Wheel spindle speed tops out at 10,000 rpm, so small bores are slow to grind
- Air demand of 2,400 NL/min at 0.7 MPa
- Magnetic chuck and touch probe gauge are optional accessories
