MAXITEC has introduced Mate ValuGrind, a tool grinding system that regrinds punches and dies to maintain optimum condition for quality punch press fabrication.
The ValuGrind has a sturdy construction to stop it from moving or tipping when in use. Its grinding wheel has minimal exposure and it comes with a safety stop button, tinted polycarbonate safety shield and diffuser-lined tub walls which are said to keep coolant splatter to a minimum.
ValuGrind accommodates thick turret A-E station, MultiTool and Trumpf-style Size 1 and 2 tooling and can be customised to specific requirements based on fixtures, style and electrical wiring needs.
It features a belt drive that ensures optimum wheel rpm, a large diamond grinding wheel with inner-cooled cup style design that keeps coolant where it’s required to prevent burning or discoloration.
The system also comes with a large motor that can accommodate up to thick Turret E-station dies and a large grinding wheel (165mm). The overall size is 820 mm length, 520mm width and 675 mm high.
