Jones and Shipman Grinders
Market-leading Precision Grinding
Jones and Shipman, the UK's foremost precision grinding machine manufacturer, will show four market-leading grinding machines at Mach 2008: three with 'Easy Control' CNC
These are Suprema and Ultramat cylindrical grinding machines, a Dominator Creepfeed grinding machine and a TechMaster high-precision surface grinding machine. Three of these models also incorporate the Jones and Shipman 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' is built around a GE-Fanuc Touchscreen and incorporates Jones Shipman proprietary software that removes the requirement for operators to input code, instead providing a highly flexible graphical menu driven programme. Whilst offering faster turn-around and quicker set-ups than conventional CNC, it still has all the functionality. Featuring 10th micron programming, standard cycles and even contour grinding, this control is available as an option in place of a conventional CNC on all current Jones and Shipman grinding machine ranges.
