An outstanding feature of the new machine is its large grinding wheel, which has a diameter of 610mm and initially a maximum width of 125mm. This makes the S36 above standard in its category. In addition, the machine comes with C.O.R.E. OS, the UNITED GRINDING Group's smart, cross-brand operating system – including touch panel and intuitive operation. Thanks to the uniform C.O.R.E. software architecture, data exchange between the machines is easily possible. This is also possible with third-party systems via the integrated umati interface. This interface also provides access to the UNITED GRINDING Digital Solutions™ products directly at the machine and without the installation of additional hardware. C.O.R.E. creates the technical foundation not just for these and other IoT and data applications, but also for a revolutionary, standard, and simple mode of operation.

The newly developed SmartJet nozzles for efficient and automatic coolant supply are fitted as standard. Thanks to these, cooling is now managed by the machine control. A frequency-controlled pump and a dynamic pressure measuring unit are used as central components. These make it possible to precisely adjust the volume flow to suit the process – for rough grinding, fine grinding, or finishing. The cooling medium is fed to the grinding wheel via a manifold and flow-optimized, adjustable nozzles.

“This concept guarantees precise, efficient and reproducible cooling”, emphasizes Martin Habegger. “We offer customers the S36 with all of this modern grinding technology at an excellent price/performance ratio.”
