Discover how WEBER combines innovative technology and engineering expertise to set new standards in precision grinding.
WEBER wet grinding technology combines precision grinding with continuous liquid cooling to achieve highly accurate dimensions and outstanding surface quality. The controlled cooling process minimizes thermal expansion and helps prevent heat-related deformation, making it possible to achieve tight tolerances and consistent results.
Continuous lubrication also reduces grinding wheel wear and supports longer tool life. At the same time, grinding particles are efficiently removed from the work area, helping to prevent scratches and surface defects.
Wet grinding is particularly well suited for demanding applications where precision, dimensional stability, and superior surface quality are essential.
For precision grinding applications, the WEBER fixed transport table provides a stable and highly controlled platform for accurate workpiece processing. Unlike conventional conveyor systems, the precision-guided table ensures consistent movement and reliable positioning throughout the grinding process.
The transport table moves smoothly along precise guide rails, allowing workpieces to be processed in controlled passes. Only a few hundredths of a millimeter of material can be removed with each pass, enabling precise control of the final thickness and surface quality.
Vacuum Table
For non-magnetic workpieces, a vacuum table securely holds the part in place throughout the grinding process. The vacuum creates a firm connection between the workpiece and the table surface for stable and precise processing.
Magnetic Table
Magnetic tables are designed for ferromagnetic materials. Strong magnetic forces securely hold the workpiece in position, providing reliable support during precision grinding.
Together, these table solutions provide the stability and control required for highly accurate grinding of demanding workpieces.
WEBER wide belt sanding machines enable precise and uniform processing of large-format workpieces. The wide sanding belts provide consistent material removal across the entire surface, ensuring a homogeneous finish without unevenness.
By removing only a few hundredths of a millimeter with each pass, the process allows precise control of the final workpiece thickness and surface quality. This makes wide belt sanding ideal for demanding applications requiring accuracy and consistent results across large surfaces.
WEBER software provides intuitive machine control and allows operators to program and automatically run individual grinding profiles. This improves process efficiency and ensures consistent results across different applications.
Precise height adjustment enables accurate positioning of the grinding tools to accommodate different material thicknesses and processing requirements. This ensures controlled material removal and consistent surface quality throughout the process.
Base frame made of polymer concrete
WEBER precision grinding machines feature a specialized polymer concrete base frame designed for exceptional stability and vibration damping. By minimizing vibrations transferred to the workpiece, the rigid machine base supports precise processing and consistent surface quality.
Combined with high-precision guide rails, the polymer concrete base ensures smooth, stable table movement even under heavy loads. This robust construction contributes to the long-term reliability of the machine and enables highly accurate grinding performance.
