Product description
The KELLENBERGER K1000 universal cylindrical grinding machine is engineered to deliver exceptional precision, flexibility, and reliability across a wide range of grinding operations. Designed for prototype manufacturing as well as small and medium production runs, it is an ideal solution for industries including tooling, automotive, aerospace, and electrical engineering.
Built on a robust machine platform with a reinforced bed and rigid table construction, the K1000 provides outstanding static and dynamic stability. This ensures consistently high machining accuracy and dependable long-term performance, even in the most demanding production environments.
Available with center heights of 200 mm, 250 mm, and 300 mm, and center distances of 1,000 mm or 1,600 mm, the machine accommodates workpieces weighing up to 300 kg. Generous travel ranges of up to 365 mm on the X-axis and 1,670 mm on the Z-axis provide the flexibility required for a broad spectrum of grinding tasks.
A key feature of the K1000 is its high-precision hydrostatic B-axis with direct drive technology, delivering exceptional positioning accuracy and smooth operation. The machine can also be equipped with directly driven internal grinding spindles capable of speeds reaching 90,000 rpm, enabling efficient machining of complex internal geometries.
Designed for Productivity and Flexibility
To achieve superior shape and dimensional accuracy, the K1000 utilizes hydrostatic guideways on all primary axes. This advanced design minimizes friction and wear while maintaining exceptional precision throughout the machine’s service life.
The direct-drive B-axis and turret grinding head significantly reduce indexing times, allowing wheel changes and positioning movements to be completed much faster than conventional systems. As a result, productivity is increased while non-productive machine time is minimized.
With more than 30 grinding head configurations available, including external and internal grinding spindle options, the K1000 can be tailored to meet highly specialized manufacturing requirements. This versatility makes it an ideal choice for complex and multi-stage grinding applications.
Intuitive Operation and Advanced Control
Operator convenience is at the forefront of the K1000 design. The machine features a modern 19-inch touchscreen interface integrated with the advanced FANUC CNC control platform. Combined with the user-friendly BLUE Solution software environment, programming and machine operation become straightforward and efficient, even for less experienced users.
The intelligent interface streamlines setup procedures, reduces programming time, and helps operators achieve optimal grinding results quickly. By combining advanced automation, precision engineering, and intuitive controls, the K1000 delivers consistently high productivity and outstanding machining quality.
Features and Configuration Options
The KELLENBERGER K1000 combines sophisticated engineering with a modular platform concept to provide maximum application flexibility. Hydrostatic guide systems ensure exceptional dimensional accuracy during complex grinding operations involving interpolated axis movements.
