6 criteria for choosing a grinding machine

In the metal deburring machine market, a situation has emerged where participants want to achieve maximum impact from new equipment with minimal investment. Investment efficiency is evaluated not only by the price of the machinery but also by operating costs. All of this occurs under conditions of limited funding.

We are constantly looking for new equipment suppliers taking into account these and other market demands. That is why we chose deburring equipment from EMC.

The criteria for the quality of machine tools, on which we oriented

Italian Machinery Association has a long history of working with machines for deburring, deburring, grinding and polishing the surface of metal parts. Over the years of practice, we have developed a system that defines good equipment, and this system is based on six criteria:

  1. The deburring machine must provide high quality, precision and repeatability over a long period of time.
  2. It should be multi-tasking and flexible in different production situations.
  3. The cost of abrasive consumables should be kept to a minimum, as they represent a significant portion of the cost of the final product.
  4. The machine must be reliable and cost-competitive.
  5. The influence of the human factor in the processing process should be low.
  6. The manufacturer must be open to negotiations and quickly resolve issues related to pre-sales approval and after-sales service.


How these requirements are implemented in EMC cleaning equipment

Reliable construction. The frame of the first EMC grinders was aluminum, but this was quickly corrected. EMC's machine bed is now made from high-strength steel and is one of the toughest and most durable designs in the industry.

EMC cleaning old vs new

Maximum flexibility. Easy operation, combined with the number and type of processing modules on EMC machines, allows you to solve any production problem.

EMC flexibility

Quality, speed and  safety. A special device for constant self-cleaning of the rubber conveyor table ensures that the workpieces are securely fastened. This improves the quality of processing and speed of the workflow, and also reduces the risk of damage to the machine.

Low operating costs. Included adapters allow you to use the full range of abrasive materials on the market, including the most popular "bayonet" abrasive materials. type. You can choose any supplier of abrasive materials and almost instantly change the elements without losing machine time.

Automatic gap and pressure correction. The machine comes with a caliper with Bluetooth system and automatic connection to the CNC. The EMC machine operator does not need to enter any information into the CNC after measuring the thickness of the workpieces. The part is machined with the required clearance and clamping automatically — this minimizes input errors and reduces premature wear or deterioration of abrasive elements.

What is a modern grinding machine

Modern grinding machines do not just grind and polish metal after punching and thermal cutting. This — reliable multifunctional equipment that can be quickly adjusted to a specific task. With minimal operator intervention and abrasive costs

To gain efficiencies for complex jobs, fabricators turn to staged bending. Multiple tool sets are arranged next to each other across the press brake bed, allowing an operator to run a complex part, or a series of different parts, all in one setup.
Baltic mechanical engineering manufacturers about personnel and digitization issues
The only way to reduce costs and increase productivity, solving the personnel shortage issue for the Baltic engineering and metal fabrication industry is manufacturing process automation and inventory digitization. Significant investments are required to achieve this, and so this process evolves slowly. The author looks into issues that arise in Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia and examples of their solution.
What is a Punch Press Machine and how it works?
Sheet metal fabricators use a wide variety of tools and machines to form materials into various shapes and sizes. Precise and repeat cutting is best achieved using specialist equipment and can include shearing, guillotining, laser cutting, plasma cutting etc. A punch press machine is another excellent option to help to manage the cutting of metal and we take an in depth look at how it works.
