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.
