Market advantage with StuderGRIND software

This programming software provides an amazing increase in productivity and high quality results almost immediately. It is not just unique because it brings decades of grinding knowledge to your finger-tips, but it's graphic visualisation makes it very user friendly. With StuderGRIND, the work-piece program can be created on an external PC. Grinding technology support also assists in finding the optimum grinding parameters. The programs can be created with practice-oriented process values without any in-depth grinding technology know-how on the operator's part. What was previously only available to grinders with many years of practical experience is now made available as "expert knowledge" at the press of a button by the grinding technology support in the StuderTechnology additional module! With StuderGRIND, the user can also find the most cost-effective variant for grinding a work-piece and define feasibility and costs quickly and precisely. To support you during the machine set-up, the configuration including grinding wheels and dressers can be 'virtually' represented and the entire grinding process can then be simulated on-screen. StuderGRIND meets the needs of different users with specialised expansion modules which include: >StuderTechnology: Grinding technology, grinding times, unit cost calculation and simulation >StuderDress: Efficient profiling and re-profiling of grinding wheels in a 30%-75% shorter time >StuderContour: Peel grinding, convex grinding and contour traverse grinding made simple >StuderProfil: For the creation of any grinding wheel profiles or work-piece contours >StuderThread: Thread software makes the universal cylindrical grinding machine into a thread grinding machine >StuderForm and StuderFormHSM (with high-speed machining): Non-circular grinding software for machining industrial curves and polygons >StuderPunch: Highly automated and highly flexible solution for grinding press and die punches Not only are the functions of the machine fully utilised with the above modules, but the grinding process is considerably faster compared to conventional programming, often with cycle time reductions of 50% or more. And thanks to modules such as StuderThread, the use of additional special machines can be eliminated. The StuderTechnology module is a real gem The desired grinding wheels and dressing tools are first specified and positioned in the 'virtual machine room'. The material and its hardness characteristics are then defined, as further important factors. A simulation is then carried out to ensure that the relevant positions on the work-piece and the positions of the dressing tools can be reached with each grinding wheel. Without graphic representation, this could only be definitively answered if the operator actually set up or retooled the machine. With StuderTechnology error costs can be avoided, and information on feasibility and machine geometry provided early on. The work-head and tailstock can be 'virtually' moved in order to find the ideal position for each job. The displayed scale, which exactly corresponds to the one on the actual machine, enables subsequent implementation on the machine quick and easy. In the next step, the operation sequence is created with the help of 'Pictogramming'. The Studer pictogramming language automatically generates the ISO program. At the press of a button, all process data such as switch-over points, in-feed speeds, spark-out times etc. are now calculated individually and automatically for each grinding feature. The entire program is now simulated, in order to safely detect any programming errors. The benefits to you are clear Some of the significant benefits you will find with StuderGRIND and StuderTechno
