The concept behind FastGrind is to provide the grinding quality and reliability of the ANCA range at an economical cost.

A robust machine, the FastGrind offers very high positioning accuracies in all five mechanical axes plus an additional four software axes. Linear axes are ball screw-driven and the two rotary axes are direct-driven. Drills, step drills, end mills, burrs, profile tools, routers as well as special tools can be efficiently sharpened with the FastGrind.

The machine uses a double-ended HSK40 wheel spindle providing flexibility and reducing setup time. Maximum wheel diameter is 8”. A part probing system is standard with the FastGrind and ANCA iView tool inspection software package optional.

All machine axis saddles are made from a single-piece casting resulting in extreme rigidity and reducing vibration during machining. The grinding spindle is also mounted on a single piece casting which ensures machine overall robustness.
