Vollmer CPF 650

Q: How much does the Vollmer CPF 650 cost?

The price estimate for the Vollmer CPF 650 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/vollmer-cpf650#price; the request is passed to Vollmer or an authorised dealer.

We do not have a price for the Vollmer CPF 650 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 Vollmer CPF 650 grinds the side angles of carbide-tipped circular saw blades from 80 to 650 mm (3.1 to 25.6 in). It is the companion to the CP 650, built into the same compact enclosure at approx. 900 kg (1,984 lb), and it brings five-axis CNC side grinding to shops whose blades are small.

The axes are V1, Z1, X1, X2 and Y1. With them the machine sets every commonly used side angle on its own, hook angle included, and detects the tooth pitch. Tangential clearance is 0° to 8°. Radial clearance is 0° to 6°, with the note that angles up to -20° can be machined, possibly on one side only. Is that note relevant to a small shop? It is, because scoring saws for panel lines have conical teeth, and Vollmer lists fully automated single-sided machining for exactly that case.

Blades up to 5 mm (0.20 in) thick with tooth pitches to 100 mm (3.9 in) fit. The grinding path along the side is up to 20 mm (0.79 in). Wheels of 80 to 100 mm (3.1 to 3.9 in) are driven by a 0.7 kW (0.9 hp) motor, and the table gives approx. 18–27 m/s as an optional, variable wheel speed.

Side grinding draws more than face grinding. The CPF 650 has a connected load of approx. 3.7 kVA where the CP 650 is listed at approx. 2.2 kVA. Otherwise the two match: approx. 125 l of coolant, full enclosure, three separated compartments, and the handwheel-and-display control that stores up to 4000 programs.

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What is the Vollmer CPF 650 used for?

Sharpening the side angles, the tooth flanks, of carbide-tipped circular saw blades with a diameter of 80 to 650 mm (3.1 to 25.6 in). Vollmer names saws for processing wood, plastics and aluminium. Faces and tops are ground on the CP 650.

02 What clearance angles can it grind?

Tangential clearance from 0° to 8° and radial clearance from 0° to 6°. Radial angles up to -20° can be machined where necessary, possibly single-sided. Convex tooth sides are possible, and values can be entered either as angles or as absolute values.

03 Does the operator have to set angles by hand?

No. Vollmer states that there is no need for manual adjustment of the radial and tangential clearance angles, and that all commonly used angles, including the hook angle, are set automatically. The feed pawl sensor system detects the tooth pitch, so that is not entered either.

04 What services does the CPF 650 need?

A connected load of approx. 3.7 kVA without auxiliary equipment and space for a coolant tank of approx. 125 l. The machine weighs approx. 900 kg (1,984 lb). The grinding wheels are 80 to 100 mm (3.1 to 3.9 in) in outside diameter with a 32 mm (1.3 in) bore.
