Why choose Rollomatic? To grind surgical cutting tools and components, a CNC grinder with 6 interpolating axes is required for flexibility and essential for cost-effective and fast grinding. 3 of the 6 axes are linear and 3 are rotary. Due to the competitive nature inherent in producing these tool types, rapid setups, short cycle times and extended wheel life are crucial.

Medical Tool Grinder - The GrindSmart 620XS is a versatile 6 axis CNC tool grinder which is capable of grinding down to a diameter of 0.05mm (.002”) using nano interpolation technology. In addition, 2 separate wheel arbors, each with four multiple wheel mounts, are running on a double-ended grinding spindle. This offers the maximum on flexibility in terms of choice of wheel shapes to cover the entire range of surgical tools.

Lights-out production - With the Rollomatic CNC pick-and-place robot loader unattended production is easily achieved, due to the simple and accurate design, load times are quick and reliable.

Alleviate deflection and control concentricity - The 620XS has a unique V-block and steady rest system which allows long and thin instruments to be ground regardless of the type of material, which can be stainless steel, HSS, titanium, nickel titanium, carbide or 2-piece construction.

Grind round and unique non-round shapes - An innovative new clamping system, has broadened the machine capabilities to auto-load and grind non-standard or non-round medical tools, including cosmetic tweezers, scalpels and bone and finger rasps.

Autoload long shanks - An optional horizontal magazine loading system enables the 620XS to grind rotary cutting tools – medium to micro-size - at lengths up to 16” in length with a 1,000 piece capacity for lights-out operation.

3-D Simulation Software - VirtualGrind® is a grinding software suite for the 620XS that includes 3-D tool and machine simulation. The tools can be designed off-line on a Windows-based PC using individual standard and special grinding operations.

Researching medical grinders - During the research phase of a machine acquisition, Rollomatic offers demonstration and grinding tests based on a tool or print. The results will include grinding performance with cycle times, wheel types and other specifications.

Machine and Software Training - With the purchase of a Rollomatic machine, the training is typically at the customer site once the machine has been installed. It is conducted by an application engineer for hands-on guidance with both the software and machine operation. Training for maintenance and specialized programming are also available.

Exceptional applications and service assistance  - The Rollomatic team has continued to grow and through the years has maintained continuity in the staff while slowly adding on team members based on service and application demands. The engineering team, consisting of application and service engineers, all have a background in industrial machine or cutting tool environments, have the capability to create programming modules for specialty tools and all undergo continuous training in the USA and at Rollomatic SA in Switzerland. You can reach them directly through a local office or on their cell phone for assistance with machines, tool design and development, test grinding, estimated cycle times or trouble shooting.

Extensive parts inventory - To maintain grinder performance, Rollomatic’s main U.S. office in Mundelein, IL, houses a large inventory of parts and accessories for immediate shipment.

Grinding Symposium and continued training - The annual Grinding Symposium is held at Rollomatic in Mundelein, IL, each year in the fall. It is a gathering of tool makers and speakers for sessions which focus on every day tool grinding issues as well as continued machine and software training for Rollomatic customers.
