Grinding for Ballnose Endmills



Ground on the Rollomatic Nano6 tool grinding machine.

Rollomatic's ultra-small 6-axis tool grinders now offer new minimal size capabilities for ballnose endmills.

The Nano6 nano-size cutting tool grinder is now capable of grinding 25 micron ballnose endmills (dia. 0.001") with features from precision ballnose endmills, such as positive rake, helically-shaped ball gash with heel pass and correct relief angles, as well as a ballnose contour accuracy in the 1 micron range.

This machine is equipped with hydrostatic guide rails. The machine enclosure is separated from the machine bed to help eliminate external disturbances. The axis control operates on nano-interpolation and the new Rollomatic software package VGPro offers increased resolution and calculation accuracies for ultra-small micro tools.
