ANCA has two new automation features for the GX7 resharpening machine, enhancing flexibility and productivity. A seven-station wheel changer has been added to the GX7 to create the new GX7+, and an 85-pocket tool loader-known as a GLX-is now available for both machines. Mounted on the side of the Z-axis saddle, the wheel changer is completely contained within the standard machine canopy. This maintains machine footprint, and also reduces the wheel-pack change time. With seven wheel packs available on the changer, the GX7's standard double-ended spindle has been upgraded to a single-ended 9.7 kW (13 HP) spindle with automatic HSK32E clamping. HSK arbors, provide both face and taper contact when located in the wheel spindle. This means accurate and repeatable location of wheel packs -essential for regrinding applications. The availability of seven wheel packs delivers new levels of flexibility for regrind shops as a wider variety of tools can be ground in a single setup. Additionally, the time saved by not having to manually change wheel packs for different tool types significantly increases the machine's productivity.
