F-Grind AH
Surface-grinding machine 
F-Grind AH
With a spindle that runs on preloaded precision angular ball bearings and automatic transverse and longitudinal feed, the F-Grind AH series offers unmatched precision and reliability. The table guideways are hardened, ground, and PTFE coated resulting in high wear resistance for years of heavy use. Anyone who surface grinds on the regular knows that a worn table will show in your final product. The polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) coating (better known by its trade name Teflon®) is not only handy as nothing will stick to it, but also because it is non-reactive. The non-reactivity is due to the molecules repelling everything, so nothing can get close enough to react. Then there’s the fact that the bond between the fluorine atom and the carbon atom is just really, really strong. The bond is almost bullet proof! It’s so stable that nothing will react with it. Even when it gets as hot as a frying pan, not even oxygen will react with it!
The feed rates of the F-Grind AH series impress even the experienced grinder operator. Longitudinal feed rate is a remarkable 195-975”/min and the rapid cross feed is 35”/min on all models. The rapid vertical feed is 17”/min and the automatic down feed runs between 0.00004” and 0.04”. After running your grinding wheel on the included diamond dresser (most efficient for truing wheels for precision grinding, where accuracy and high finish are required) the available electromagnetic chuck holds your workpiece steady as you set up and run the job.
The coolant system utilizes a dependable brand name goes here pump and capacity tank, allowing a range of coolants to be used according to what is being ground. The 1 Hp hydraulic pump motor runs the table travel efficiently and the main spindle motor (1.5-5.5 Hp) ensures the power you need to reach desired spindle speeds and torque.
The available easy to use AD 5 NC-Control gives operators control of automatic vertical feed of the grinding wheel, automatic cross feed of the table, automatic control of the number of passes and various pre-set grinding cycles.
Table sizes ranging from 6-16” x 18-31” help this automatically lubricated surface grinder fit into any shop needing up to 0.0004” accuracy. From grinding perfect cutting tools, threading tools, punches and gauges to simply smoothing a finished product, the F-Grind AH series does a job that is otherwise almost impossible or at least seriously inconvenient, making any basic machine shop complete. You will most likely need a G-Grind AH surface grinder if you need to provide precision ground surfaces, either for a high surface finish or attaining critical dimensions.
