Applications & Suitable Workpieces

Used KELLENBERGER KEL-VARIA US 175/1000 CNC cylindrical grinder is suitable for precision grinding operations where dimensional accuracy, roundness and surface finish are critical. Its universal grinding configuration makes it particularly useful for manufacturers that need multiple cylindrical grinding processes on one machine.

Typical applications include precision shafts and spindle components, bearing journals, sleeves and bushings, hydraulic components, tooling and machine-tool components, automotive precision parts, aerospace components, molds and dies, and small-to-medium batch precision production.

The machine is especially attractive for workshops producing components that require a combination of external cylindrical grinding, internal cylindrical grinding and face grinding. Depending on the installed wheelhead configuration, multiple grinding operations can be performed with fewer workpiece setups. The corresponding machine listing reports two external grinding wheels plus an internal grinding spindle.
