Sisamex processes an average of 160,000 gear shafts per year in Mexico with the QUICKPOINT high-speed grinding machines. Francisco Vélez García, the person responsible for processes at Sisamex, confirms: "This machine unites precision and maximum flexibility, as the cylindrical grinding machine is versatile in use and has an enormous capacity." The production facility is located in Cd. Gral. Escobedo, N.L., one of the largest industrial centers in Mexico.
A single clamping process
One of the outstanding technical advantages is the grinding of the gear shaft in a single clamping process. Sisamex invests in an economic grinding process that saves time and money. The gear shaft is clamped between centers for processing the outer diameters and end faces. The CNC tailstock withdraws for processing of the inner cone, with the gear shaft being held and guided by the steady rest. The industrial company processes different gear shaft workpiece families on QUICKPOINT, showcasing the JUNKER grinding machine's versatility. Mr. Vélez García explains: "Various workpiece types are swapped several times a day. We can flexibly retool the grinding machine without complications and in the shortest possible time.
