Jones & Shipman (Leicester, UK) is exhibiting at IMTS08 (IMTS; McLean, VA) three machines plus two full size wheelhead modules; a novel multi-wheel design from Jones & Shipman and a stylized concept dressing unit from Holroyd both from soon to be released new cylindrical and gear grinding machines.
The three machines are all from the Jones & Shipman product range, a Suprema 650 toolroom, medium production cylindrical grinding machine, a Dominator 624 creepfeed, profile and surface grinding machine, and a TechMaster 634 high-precision heavy duty surface grinding machine. The Suprema and Techmaster machines also incorporate Jones & Shipman’s feature- packed ‘Easy Control’, which is simpler to use, quicker to set, yet enables parts to be ground within the same cycle time as a conventional CNC.
The ‘Easy Control’, as used on the J & S Techmaster and Suprema machines, offers the key advantage of bringing traditional manual machinists into the world of CNC technology, without any additional programming knowledge. In addition, the control can make complex and precise grinding operations far easier to execute than has previously been possible.
