We do not have a price for the Star SU TRU TECH T23XM 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 Star SU TRU TECH T23XM is the larger cylindrical grinder of the TRU TECH line, a precision OD machine with 20 in (500 mm) between centers and an 8 in (200 mm) maximum grind diameter. It carries a 14 in (350 mm) wheel on a 7 hp (5.2 kW) variable speed spindle, with 10 hp (7.5 kW) optional.

The wheel speed range is 500-3000 RPM. X travel is 20 in (500 mm) and Y travel is 8 in (200 mm), with maximum velocities of 50 in/min in X and 60 in/min in Y. Star Cutter lists an input increment of 0.000010 in (0.000254 mm), accuracy of ±0.00010 in (0.00254 mm) and repeatability of ±0.000050 in (0.00127 mm).

Tapers can be set mechanically as well as in the program. The workhead adjusts through ±45 degrees and the table through ±8 degrees, and the workhead is driven by a 1.3 HP motor at 50-600 RPM with an MT-4 taper. For bores, a 1/2 HP ID spindle is an option.

The machine is fully enclosed for high pressure coolant and stands on a 2.5-ton polymer base with precision ball screws. Control is a Mitsubishi CNC with a touch screen pendant and icon based conversational software, and profiles are ground with a standard 1A1 wheel in profile, plunge or peel mode. It ships on two pallets at 10,000 lbs (4,536 kg) and needs a 30 Amps supply at 208-230V 60 Hz.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

14 in (350 mm) wheel on a 7 hp (5.2 kW) variable speed spindle, with 10 hp (7.5 kW) optional
Accuracy of ±0.00010 in (0.00254 mm) and repeatability of ±0.000050 in (0.00127 mm)
Workhead adjusts ±45 degrees and the table ±8 degrees for taper work
Fully enclosed for high pressure coolant, on a 2.5-ton polymer base
Profile, plunge and peel grinding with a standard 1A1 wheel

Limitations

Maximum grind diameter is 8 in (200 mm), an inch less than the 9 in (229 mm) of the TRU TECH TT1020M
Axis velocities are 50 in/min in X and 60 in/min in Y, so long traverses are slow
The ID spindle is a 1/2 HP option, suited to light internal work
Shipping weight is 10,000 lbs (4,536 kg) on two pallets, which sets the rigging plan

Best For

OD profile grinding of tight tolerance cylindrical parts up to 20 in (500 mm) long Peel grinding of stepped blanks with a 14 in (350 mm) wheel Tapered parts set with the ±45 degrees workhead or ±8 degrees table adjustment Work that needs high pressure coolant inside a full enclosure
