Asteroid Grinding Invests in the Future – Increases Capabilities
30% with Toyoda

With today’s demand for high-precision components, there is an increasing requirement for high performance machine tools. Over more than 50 years and 20,000 installations, we’ve refined the rugged construction, unerring precision and ease of operation that have made Toyoda synonymous with grinding worldwide. Whether you are looking for an off-the-shelf solution, or need a custom-engineered process, we’ll put our experience to work for you. Click here to contact us.

For ID, OD or multi-dimensional grinding applications, the quality we build into our machines shows in every part our customers produce. Here are just a few features that set Toyoda grinders apart:

a) The STAT® Spindle Bearing is a hybrid of hydrostatic and hydrodynamic effects, allowing it much higher stability and durability than conventional bearings. This design eliminates flutter, friction and vibration that could transfer to the part. It is a true asset in any environment, from low to high pressure, from normal to high speed and from small to larger size runs.

b) The Floating Plate mechanism absorbs run-out of the feed screw for high-accuracy and simultaneous feed of both axes. Mounted underneath the slide and on the base of the machine, it supports the X and Z axes ballscrews. The plate compensates for any misalignment that could result when the grinding wheel makes contact with the part. Maintaining tolerances and eliminating bind between the table and ballscrew ensures precision grinding of finished parts and differentiates our low-cost machines from competitive models.

c) All Toyoda grinders are built with solid box-type construction and a ribbed, cast bed. The latest technology for topological optimization has further enhanced the design of the conventional machine bed. The result is an increase in both rigidity and thermal stability to improve precision and support twice the weight between centers as other machines.
