Used Swiss KELLENBERGER KEL-VARIA US 175/1000 CNC Grinder




Product Description
The machine is equipped with a FANUC Series 300i Model A CNC control, with an upgraded conversational programming interface for easier setup and operation. Its grinding configuration includes two external grinding wheels and one internal grinding spindle, allowing OD grinding, ID grinding and face grinding to be completed in a single setup for suitable workpieces.
Hydrostatic X/Z guideways and the B-axis provide the rigid, smooth motion required for high-precision cylindrical grinding. Seller-reported machining accuracy is approximately 1 μm, making this pre-owned Swiss grinder an attractive option for manufacturers seeking precision grinding capability without the investment required for a new premium machine.
