A centralized lubrication system delivers oil precisely where needed, reducing wear and extending the lifespan of critical components for consistent performance over time.
FAQs of Fortuna Internal Grinding Machine:
Q: How does the Fortuna Internal Grinding Machine ensure high-precision grinding operations?
A: The machine is engineered with robust cast iron construction and precise manual control, achieving a grinding accuracy of 0.002 mm. Its rigid table slide with V and flat ways and variable work head speeds further enhance process stability and finish quality.
Q: What is the process for operating the machine with the manual 3-jaw chuck?
A: Simply mount the workpiece within the 3-jaw chuck manually, adjust the work head speed as needed (up to 250 RPM), and guide the grinding operation through the manual controls to achieve internal finishes according to your specifications.
Q: When should the centralized lubrication system be used?
A: The centralized lubrication system operates automatically during machine use, ensuring all moving parts receive proper lubrication continuously, which is critical during prolonged operations or high-precision jobs.
Q: Where is this grinding machine best utilized?
A: The Fortuna Internal Grinding Machine is ideally used in precision engineering workshops, toolrooms, and manufacturing facilities that require internal cylindrical grinding for small-batch or single workpieces, particularly in tool and die making, repair, and component finishing.
Q: What materials can be ground using this machine?
A: Thanks to its solid build and powerful 1.5 kW main motor, the machine is suitable for grinding a variety of metals such as hardened steels, cast iron, and alloy components within its 6 mm to 100 mm bore capacity and 125 mm workpiece size limit.
Q: How does the coolant system benefit the grinding process?
A: The inbuilt recirculation pump provides a steady stream of coolant to the work area, minimizing thermal deformation, reducing wheel wear, and effectively removing debris for superior surface finish and dimensional accuracy.
Q: What advantages does manual control offer over CNC models?
A: Manual operation allows skilled users to adjust settings in real time, catering to complex or one-off grinding tasks with greater flexibility, making the machine particularly valuable in toolrooms and where adaptability is essential.
