How much does the Schaudt CamGrind L cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a cnc grinding machine in this class — not a quote from United Grinding (Schaudt). Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Schaudt CamGrind L is, as its name says, a cam grinder that holds the shaft between centers, and it is built as two machines. The CamGrind L1 has a B-axis and grinding lengths of 650/1,100/2,000 mm. The CamGrind L2 has no B-axis and one grinding length, 650 mm.
The split shows in the wheel and the workpiece. The main spindle of the L1 takes a wheel at most 80 mm wide and carries workpieces up to 130 kg between centers. The L2 takes a wheel up to 250 mm wide but only 50 kg of workpiece, and it is the heavier machine at 18/20 t against 12-14 t. A wide wheel on a short, light shaft points to grinding several lobes or journals in one infeed, where the L1 is the flexible machine for longer shafts and angled work.
Both share the same base specification. Height of centers is 220 mm, the X-axis and Z-axis guides are hydrostatic, grinding wheel drive power is up to 40 kW and peripheral speed is up to 125 m/s. Main spindle wheels are 340-480 mm in diameter on the L1 and 400-480 mm on the L2. A swivel-in spindle for wheels of 70-370 mm is also listed, and a small wheel is what a concave cam flank needs.
Workhead speed is listed as 1,000/50 rpm for the L1 and 1,000/500 rpm for the L2, with workhead torque of 50/25 Nm. Tailstock stroke is 60/75/100/150 mm and the control is SINUMERIK 840D sl.
The L1 stands 2,253 mm high on a footprint of 4,158-4,758 x 3,632-4,554 mm. The L2 needs 4,758 x 4,554 mm and is 2,253/2,791 mm high. Variants are U01, U03 and U12 for the L1 and U04, U05, U06 and U07 for the L2.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Hydrostatic guides on both the X-axis and the Z-axis
- Peripheral speed of up to 125 m/s with up to 40 kW of grinding wheel drive power
- CamGrind L1 comes in three grinding lengths, 650/1,100/2,000 mm, and has a B-axis
- CamGrind L2 takes main spindle wheels up to 250 mm wide
- A swivel-in spindle for 70-370 mm wheels is listed in addition to the main spindle
- Seven listed variants: U01, U03 and U12 for the L1, and U04, U05, U06 and U07 for the L2
Limitations

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The L1 has a B-axis, grinding lengths of 650/1,100/2,000 mm, a main spindle wheel width of at most 80 mm and a workpiece weight limit of 130 kg. The L2 has no B-axis, a single 650 mm grinding length, a wheel width of up to 250 mm and a 50 kg limit. The L1 weighs 12-14 t and the L2 18/20 t.
02
Maximum grinding length between centers is 650/1,100/2,000 mm on the CamGrind L1 and 650 mm on the CamGrind L2. Maximum workpiece weight between centers is 130 kg on the L1 and 50 kg on the L2. Height of centers is 220 mm on both, and tailstock stroke is 60/75/100/150 mm.
03
Main spindle wheels are 340-480 mm in diameter on the L1 and 400-480 mm on the L2, with maximum widths of 80 mm and 250 mm. The swivel-in spindle takes wheels of 70-370 mm. Grinding wheel drive power is up to 40 kW and peripheral speed up to 125 m/s.
04
The control is SINUMERIK 840D sl. Both the X-axis and the Z-axis run on hydrostatic guides, which separate the slide from the way with an oil film, so there is no stick-slip when the wheelhead reverses to follow a cam profile.
05
The CamGrind L1 has a footprint of 4,158-4,758 x 3,632-4,554 mm, depending on length, and a maximum height of 2,253 mm. The CamGrind L2 needs 4,758 x 4,554 mm and stands 2,253/2,791 mm high. Plan the floor for 12-14 t with the L1 and 18/20 t with the L2.
