![]() Each FMa2 features an operator-friendly machine interface, servo-motors with absolute encoders, SKF linear bearings and super-precision lead screws. The FMa2 is our entry-level Formaster dresser, with a travel of 60mm x 60mm (2.3in x 2.3in). ![]() FM Series CNC dressers are configurable with either a Siemens 828D sl control or a Fanuc 0i control, or in special circumstances with no control at all. The model numbers roughly express the travel in inches. The difference between the members of the FM series is strictly the X-Y travel they are capable of. Grinding machine manufacturers are using the Formaster as a key component on new machines.Ĭomposed of the FM22 (pictured), FM42, FM62 and optionally other configurations, the FM Series is our standard line of Formaster dressers. Manufacturers of form tools, punches, dies, gears, broaches and other cutting tools are using the Formaster, not only to save time and money, but to improve accuracy and quality. Hundreds of Formaster users report dramatic setup and production time reductions over previous dressing methods. The Formaster is a positively mechanically sealed system, and is air-purged and automatically lubricated to assure dependable operation and eliminate costly down-time. Low maintenance, long life and trouble-free operation are hallmarks of all Normac products. Choose Siemens or Fanuc CNC or even no control at all in certain situations. Units offering different X Y travel capabilities are available to suit your specific application. Successful installations have been made on surface grinders, OD external grinders, centerless grinders, broach and gear grinding machines and many others. Adapting it to virtually any grinding machine is quick and easy. The Formaster is both compact and light-weight. HMI CAD reader makes conversion from DXF CAD files to G-code part programs simple and easy. Stand-alone special software to convert DXF format files to Formaster CNC programs is available.įormaster’s cycles and screens are created to provide a user-friendly environment for the operator. This system enables you to grind whatever you design. Application software and custom displays remove the burden of complex math calculations and typical NC programming. The CNC is supplied with a graphical user interface for program verification and is expandable to four axis control. The Formaster two axis design simplifies programming. ![]() The result is a mechanical system capable of inspection gauge accuracy, handling the most critical grinding wheel dressing requirements. Anti-friction needle bearing ways are precisely fitted and preloaded during assembly to provide less than 0.002mm positioning error throughout the entire slide travel. ![]() Superior design and construction enables the Formaster to maintain tolerances unparalleled by competitive units. With every Formaster, Normac provides free lifetime support in programming, grinding wheel dressing techniques and selection of the best dressing tools. CBN series dressing stations are also a main component in manufacturing HSS and carbide hobs in the USA, Europe and the Far East. Leading world-wide manufacturers of super abrasive (CBN and Diamond) grinding wheels report great success including improvements in both productivity and quality of the product. It is the dresser of choice for leading manufacturers where accuracy of the grinding wheel profile is critical. The Formaster is acknowledged as a successful OEM component for gear, broach, hob, bearing and thread grinding machines. The Formaster breathes new life into old, outdated equipment. The Formaster was designed to be small and compact, providing easy installation on nearly any grinding machine, yet also strong and rigid to assure the greatest possible accuracy. Since 1982, Normac has manufactured the Formaster, a CNC grinding wheel dresser, to satisfy two requirements: sophisticated wheel dressing for our own machines and that of the grinding industry at large. Hundreds units in operation worldwide provide customers a very accurate method of dressing complex grinding wheel profiles quickly and easily.
