The Swiss company Rollomatic has specialized in manufacturing machines for mass-production machining of small-diameter tools with high precision. YKT has established a relationship of trust with Rollomatic and has sold many of their products in Japan, Thailand, and other countries. This time, we would like to introduce the new product ROLLOMATIC Grind Smart 660XW, which was launched by Rollomatic in the latter half of 2021.
Space-saving compact machine that improves the work environment
The greatest feature of this new product is its compact body while maintaining high performance. Although similar in appearance to the conventional machine, the internal structure of the newly designed machine is significantly different from that of the conventional machine, and many functions necessary for machining are integrated into a single unit.

With a width of 1.8m and a depth of 1.5m, it is the smallest required area in its class, and there is a possibility that 3 units can be installed in the required floor space for 2 normal units.
＜Advantages of a Compact Machine＞
✓ Power-saving operation compared to a large machine
✓ Reduced installation area by downsizing to save space and improve factory area productivity
✓ Improve the work environment by allowing more space on site
⇒Leads to less stress on workers and fewer errors
In general, the smaller the machine, the more difficult it is to stabilize machining accuracy. However, the 660XW overcomes this problem by minimizing mechanical movements to match its compact body and by using linear guides for the linear motion axes, thus achieving stable machining accuracy even in a compact size.
Built-in transfer robot, whetstone changer, and many other functions
The machine not only combines the machining capabilities of a step grinder and a tool grinder into a single unit for highly efficient grinding, but also has a built-in transfer robot (tool loader) and a whetstone changer that automatically replaces whetstone.
▲ Built-in whetstone changer for up to 6 sets
Stopping the machine to change tools or whetstones would greatly reduce productivity. Furthermore, when these functions are added as options, the equipment is mounted next to the machine, which takes up a lot of space. The 660XW has these functions built-in from the start, saving space and reducing lead time, making it a reliable partner in tool making, suitable for both mass production and small-lot, high-mix machining.
Technology for stable machining accuracy is also integrated.
The 660XW employs the following technologies to maintain stable machining accuracy despite being a compact machine.
✓ Uses linear guides for the linear motion axes
High-precision tools can be produced stably with almost no vibration or backlash.
✓Uses grinding oil for internal cooling
Machining oil and oil that cools the machine, such as the motor and spindle, are the same, eliminating temperature fluctuations throughout the machine and stabilizing machining accuracy.
