CNC Software for Simplified Production of Camshafts, Crankshafts



Supertec Machinery Inc. has based new versions of its Plunge type of CNC cylindrical grinding machines on NUM's Flexium+ CNC platform.

NUMgrind simplifies the creation of G-code programs for CNC grinding machines through the use of an intuitive graphical human machine interface (HMI). "Unlike conventional CAD/CAM workstation tools, it is designed specifically for use by shop floor personnel in a production environment," said a spokesperson.

Supertec's Plunge type of CNC Cylindrical grinding machines offer a choice of six capacities, covering distances between centers from 500 mm to 2,000 mm. The machines can also accommodate grinding diameters from 300 mm up to 430 mm (three sizes), grinding wheel speeds up to 1,390 RPM and workhead spindle speeds from 30 RPM to 350 RPM.

The new versions of these machines are based on NUM's Flexium+ 8 CNC platform and use NUM's high performance MDLUX drives and brushless servo motors for the X, Z and C axes. In addition to the NUMgrind HMI, the software that is being supplied by NUM includes the Flexium 3D simulator, which can be used offline or online, and an application-specific profile editor that enables users to import DXF files.

Johnny Wu, General Manager for NUM Taiwan, said, "The ability to use the Flexium 3D simulator both offline and online provides Supertec's customers with a distinct advantage. CNC programs can obviously be prepared offline and checked for potential problems such as collisions before being transferred to the machine. But the simulator can also be used online. This enables operators to gain vital visibility of the grinding process, which is normally obscured by the flow of oil."
