Jones and Shipman develops Ultramat CNC



Jones and Shipman has developed the Ultramat CNC cylindrical grinding machine for the higher volume production environment, such as aerospace and automotive.

It can also be used for high-precision sub-contract machining for biomedical and motorsport engineering Built on a one-piece bed design, the Ultramat combines rigidity and precision

The machine uses Jones and Shipman's proprietary Windows-based spreadsheet style programming software, meaning operators don't have to input code, although an ISO programming option is available.

Built around a GE-Fanuc Intelligent Terminal, the control system reduces the time needed for operator training while cutting set-up and changeover time.

Simplicity does not limit the Ultramat's flexibility, however.

A full suite of dressing and grinding programs are available for the Ultramat CNC operator.

Easy to follow Windows set up pages allow the operator to digitise diamond and wheel positions and produce a finished program with a minimum of mouse or softkey/keyboard inputs.

Graphical images prompt the operator and spreadsheet-style programming ensures quick and simple input.

The machine offers 650mm or 1000mm between centres.

Options for this range include angle head, a programmable turret wheelhead with multiple wheels, full in-process gauging, probing and flagging, autoloading and articulating arm CNC form dressing.

A temperature controlled cabinet option is available.
