Used COBURN SGX #9231411 for sale

COBURN SGX is a Precision Optical Grinding Machine for manufacturing and repairing precision optics. It is a robust, fully automated, three-axis smart grinder system that is designed to grind complex optical surfaces with high accuracy. As a tool for inspection and manufacturing of optical components, SGX increases speed, efficiency, and repeatability of optics production. The machine uses advanced CNC technology and consists of two grinding spindles, a CCD camera, an in-situ grinding wheel dresser and a collar holding fixture. The two grinding spindles allow for simultaneous grinding of two surfaces at once, providing a high level of productivity. The CCD camera allows for the continuous monitoring of the grinding process, with its high working resolution providing exceptionally accurate results. This camera also facilitates in-process checking and precise feedback on the ground surface. The in-situ grinding wheel dresser automatically compensates for a dulled or significantly worn wheel, and the grinding wheel is marked to indicate when it is time for a replacemnt. The clever design of the collar fixture holds the optics securely in place, and allows it to present a variety of shapes to the grinding wheels with ease. To operate COBURN SGX, the operator must program the desired program parameters such as grinding wheel selection, tool path and other essential process parameters. Once these parameters are inputted, the CNC program dictates all necessary steps to produce an accurate machined part. The machine is very user-friendly and requires few manual adjustments, leading to a low learning curve. In conclusion, SGX is a robust and reliable machine that ensures precise and accurate grinding of optical components. The machine is equipped with advanced features that make it highly productive and efficient. Its user-friendly interface makes it easy to program and operate, making it an ideal choice for manufacturers and retailers dealing with optical components.
