How much does the Vollmer VGrind 360 cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a cnc grinding machine in this class — not a quote from Vollmer. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Vollmer VGrind 360 is a tool grinding machine for workpieces up to 100 mm in outside diameter and up to 360 mm long, with 350 mm of X travel, 450 mm of Y and 500 mm of Z and an HSK50 spindle interface. It is offered with either a belt spindle or a motor spindle, and that choice is the main decision when specifying one.
The belt spindle runs to 8,500 rpm with 11 kW of driving power at 100% ED and a peak of 23 kW. The motor spindle reaches 15,000 rpm with 10 kW at 100% ED and a peak of 21 kW. In other words the motor spindle is about 76% faster on slightly less power. Grinding wheels are limited to max. 150 mm in diameter, and since surface speed falls with wheel diameter, the faster spindle earns its place when small wheels are needed to reach into tight flutes and gashes.
Two rotary axes position the work. Axis A1 turns through 360° at 450 rpm, optionally 1,000 rpm, and axis C1 swivels from +15° to -200°. The higher A1 speed is an option, so it has to be ordered.
Within Vollmer's range the nearest relative is the VGrind 360 S, which has longer travels of 426 mm, 490 mm and 505 mm in X, Y and Z and adds a 6500 rpm belt spindle rated 25 Nm. The connected load of the VGrind 360 is approx. 18 kVA and the machine weighs approx. 4,900 kg net.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Choice of a belt spindle (8,500 rpm, 11 kW at 100% ED, 23 kW peak) or a motor spindle (15,000 rpm, 10 kW at 100% ED, 21 kW peak)
- Workpieces up to 100 mm in outside diameter and up to 360 mm long
- Axis A1 rotates through 360° at 450 rpm, with 1,000 rpm available as an option
- Axis C1 swivels from +15° to -200°
- HSK50 spindle interface with travels of 350 mm in X, 450 mm in Y and 500 mm in Z
Limitations
- Workpiece outside diameter stops at 100 mm
- The 1,000 rpm A1 axis is an option; the standard figure is 450 rpm
- Grinding wheel diameter is limited to max. 150 mm
- The motor spindle peaks at 21 kW against 23 kW for the belt spindle, so the faster spindle is the less powerful one
- X travel of 350 mm is shorter than the 426 mm of the VGrind 360 S

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Speed against power. The belt spindle is rated 8,500 rpm, 11 kW at 100% ED and 23 kW peak. The motor spindle is rated 15,000 rpm, 10 kW at 100% ED and 21 kW peak. Both use the HSK50 interface and wheels up to max. 150 mm in diameter.
02
Up to 100 mm in outside diameter and up to 360 mm in length. The linear travels behind that envelope are 350 mm in X, 450 mm in Y and 500 mm in Z.
03
The VGrind 360 S has longer travels, 426 mm in X, 490 mm in Y and 505 mm in Z, against 350 mm, 450 mm and 500 mm here. The VGrind 360 S also lists a third spindle variant, a 6500 rpm belt spindle with 25 Nm, alongside an 8500 rpm belt spindle with 17 Nm. Both machines use HSK50.
04
Axis A1 rotates through 360° at 450 rpm as standard, and Vollmer lists 1,000 rpm as an option. Axis C1 swivels from +15° to -200°. Order the faster A1 axis explicitly if the work calls for it.
05
Vollmer lists a connected load of approx. 18 kVA and a machine weight of approx. 4,900 kg net. The table does not give compressed air or coolant figures, so ask for those with the installation drawing.
