Studer has further developed its favoritCNC universal cylindrical grinding machine. The result is modern grinding technology combined with high precision and simple operation, ultimately delivering a good price-to-performance ratio.

“With numerous new features, optimisations and automation capabilities, the favoritCNC is a future-oriented, economical solution for the external and internal cylindrical grinding of small to medium-sized workpieces in individual and series production,” says Sandro Bottazzo, Studer CEO.

The latest generation of the favoritCNC features a modernised CNC control (FANUC 0i-TFP), software and smart automation capabilities. Thanks to the new automatic operating door and loader interface, customers can now automate their production themselves. Further optimisations have been made regarding its operation with a view to sustainability and efficiency, and in ergonomics for even easier and safer operation. For example, user-friendliness is increased by the simple grinding wheel changing aid and park position for the tailstock within the machine (optional).

New features also include the machine base with a larger distance between the X-axis guideways for even greater wheel-head stability, a resource-saving belt spindle system, a digital display of the swivel angle on the manual B axis, and the optional QuickSet function for fast re-tooling.

When defining the equipment on the new favoritCNC, Studer focused on flexibility. There are two wheel-head variants to choose from: a fixed wheel head for productive external grinding (manual positioning 0°/15°/30°) or a universal wheel head for external and internal grinding (grinding in one clamping, manual swivel 2.5° Hirth coupling). There are also numerous configuration options, such as a fixed or swivelling worktable, or options such as measuring and balancing systems, grinding detection and longitudinal positioning.
