Now grinding in France

The first order for a new UltraGrind CNC cylindrical grinding machine from Jones & Shipman has been despatched to its new owner, a precision component manufacturer in France.

The machine features a new modular wheelhead design and multiple wheel spindles, allowing the high precision mould and mechanical component manufacturer to perform both internal and external grinding operations to fine tolerances, in one grinding cycle. Overall, UltraGrind is expected to provide huge reductions in set-up time and machining costs.

Flexibility is combined with ease-of-use to keep component prices competitive by keeping cycle times short.
