Sharp OD-1524-2X

Q: How much does the Sharp OD-1524-2X cost?

The price estimate for the Sharp OD-1524-2X 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/sharp-od-1524-2x#price; the request is passed to Sharp or an authorised dealer.

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the Sharp OD-1524-2X 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

Sharp lists two sizes of its 2-axis CNC OD grinder, and the OD-1524-2X is the larger: 15 in (381 mm) of swing over the table and 23.6 in (600 mm) between centers.

Compared with the OD-1320-2X the gain is a larger swing and a longer center distance (the OD-1320-2X offers 12.6 in and 19.7 in), on a machine of the same net weight, 11,440 lb. Nothing in the grinding train changes. The wheel is 20 x 2 x 6 in (508 x 50.8 x 152.4 mm) at 1390 rpm, the wheel drive is listed as 7.5 hp, 10 hp, and the workhead turns 30-350 rpm from a 2 hp (1.49 kW) drive. So the larger model does not remove stock any faster; it simply admits a bigger part. If the work fits the smaller grinder, the only thing this one adds is headroom.

Floor space is the cost. Sharp gives 15.41 x 7.5 ft (4.69 x 2.28 m) for width and depth, with a height of 7.41 ft (2.25 m).

How does it hold size? Through a FANUC Oi-TF CNC control acting on a wheelhead with 9 in (228.6 mm) of infeed, a 0.0001 in minimum increment on diameter and an X-axis linear scale. The wheelhead swivel angle is 90 degrees and the table swivels 9 degrees counter-clockwise for taper correction. Coolant is held in a 20 gallons (75.70 L) tank and passes through a magnetic separator, and a separate 15 gallons (56.78 L) tank serves the hydraulics that move the table and the tailstock.

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What is the difference between the OD-1524-2X and the OD-1320-2X?

Size. The OD-1524-2X swings 15 in (381 mm) over the table and takes 23.6 in (600 mm) between centers; the OD-1320-2X swings 12.6 in (320 mm) and takes 19.7 in. Wheel size, wheel speed, workhead speed, motors and net weight are the same in Sharp's tables.

02 What grinding wheel does the OD-1524-2X use?

The table gives OD x width x ID as 20 x 2 x 6 in (508 x 50.8 x 152.4 mm), with an optional width of 4 in (101.6 mm), at a wheel speed of 1390 rpm. A wheel flange and extractor come with the machine, and a spare wheel flange ( 6") is an option.

03 How is the workpiece held and driven?

Between an infinitely variable speed workhead with an MT #4 center, running 30-350 rpm with a fixed and rotary spindle, and a hydraulic tailstock with an MT #4 center. Sharp notes option 5 for both tapers. The workhead through hole is 0.9 in (22.86 mm).

04 What enclosure and coolant equipment are included?

A semi enclosure splash guard, a coolant system with magnetic separator, a wheel spindle lubrication oil cooler and an electricity cabinet with heat exchanger are standard accessories. A full chip enclosure and a 15 KVA transformer are options.
