New Innovative Hydrostatic Guideways Standard on All Axis Provides Highest Performance across ID Grinding Applications

ROMANSHORN, SWITZERLAND—January 20, 2020 – Hardinge Inc., the leading international provider of advanced metal-cutting manufacturing tool solutions and accessories, today announced the introduction of the VOUMARD® 1000 Universal CNC Internal grinding (IG) machine. The new VOUMARD 1000 offers a high-performance, economical grinder for the widest range of universal internal grinding requirements to obtain fine surface finishes and tight tolerances. Designed and manufactured with Hardinge’s high quality and focus on innovation, the all new VOUMARD 1000 is a new standard in ID grinding, providing customers with the ultimate combination of precision, performance in an affordable machine designed to optimize production costs when manufacturing high-precision parts for industries ranging from aerospace to medical. For over 80 years, the Voumard brand has been a global leader in innovative ID/OD grinding with almost 10,000 installed internal grinding machines around the world. Its line, specifically designed for machining work pieces with larger diameters and / or lengths. Typical applications are grinding operations on parts for hydraulic components, spindles, bearings, or gears as example. “We are introducing a new system that incorporates feedback we received from customers, from the rigid base to the hydrostatic guides in combination with direct drives on all axis, all the way to the new user interface on our controls,” said Helmut Gaisberger, Global Director Product Management of Hardinge Grinding. “The new VOUMARD 1000 system exceed the most demanding of today’s grinding requirements.

Other than traditional grinding machine designs, the VOUMARD 1000 offers up to 5 fully functional CNC axis with outstanding positioning accuracies in the nanometer range as well as Best-in-class tool and work piece management. The new concept substitutes additional movement for dressing and measuring devices.”

Being launched for the first time today at AUTOBAU AG, VOUMARD 1000 offers almost infinite configuration options for the widest range of grinding operations. The machine replaces the popular VOUMARD 110, VOUMARD 130 and parts of the VOUMARD 150 series. Prepared to machine work pieces with a length of 300mm length and 300mm swing diameter over the table. Customers can now get the following benefits and features:

  • Innovative HYDROLIN® hydrostatic guideways provide the highest performance – The VOUMARD 1000 features the newest generation of hydrostatic guideways on all axis for superb precision and productivity. It provides excellent damping, stick-slip-free operation and high rigidity (wraparound guideway), resulting in outstanding surface quality and more reliability without any friction loss and wear.
  • Extrem präzise Genauigkeit mit einer schnellen Oszillation auch bei kleinsten Durchmessern zur Steigerung der Produktivität –Das einzigartige Design der VOUMARD 1000 hat keine kupplungsgelenke, um spielfrei zu funktionieren, bietet Positioniergenauigkeit (und somit weniger Korrekturen) sowie optimierte Thermodynamik in ihrem direkt angetriebenen Linearmotorsystem für ein besseres Kühlmanagement.
  • Einzigartige, kompakte hydrostatische Spindelrevolverkonfiguration für optimale Zugänglichkeit und ein größeres Teilespektrum. Das neue System bietet eine hydrostatische B-Achse mit Wiederholgenauigkeit für die Benchmarking-Positionierung.
  •  Advantages in high precision also in non-round grinding and improved accessibility with compact “table turret” collision-free dressing – The table turret on the hydrostatic B2 axis, can optionally be equipped with a workhead and a high-precision rotation axis (C axis) with direct measuring system and torque motor. Enabling maximum roundness and precision in the fine adjustment of the cylindricity of the inner diameter during cylindrical grinding. A large selection of clamping devices and steady rests completes the available options.
  • Neues, kompaktes, ergonomisches Maschinendesign für bessere Übersicht während des Schleifprozesses und Zugänglichkeit für erstklassiges Werkzeug- und Werkstückmanagement.
  • Fanuc-31i-Steuerung für verbesserten Bedienerzugriff,, fast programming and retooling, even for inexperienced operators. The latest BLUE solution software created specifically for the Hardinge grinding product brands will be available on the new VOUMARD 1000 with object guide for easy operation and short set up times. BLACK CAM Solution for CAM Functionality is available optional. To learn more about the new VOUMARD 1000, please visit: https://europe.hardinge.com/product/voumard-1000
