Highest precision and efficiency during the grinding of external and internal non-circular shapes.
StuderForm HSM Technology – Unrivaled Precision
Through the simultaneous, continuous interpolation of the workpiece rotation axis with the transverse axis of the wheelhead, the system allows for the grinding of non-circular shapes in a single operation—eliminating the need for multiple setups and the use of several grinding machines.
Applications in demanding industries
Examples of shapes ground using the High Speed Machining method:
-
Polygons
-
Eccentrics and cams
-
Crankshafts and camshafts
-
Punching and stamping dies
-
Tool holders (Capto system)
-
Knee and hip joint implants
Self-learning function as a guarantee of quality
The "self-learning" functionality automatically corrects interpolation and process dynamics errors, ensuring consistently high precision:
-
Shape tolerance up to 4 μm
-
Roundness: 1 μm
-
Surface roughness: Ra 0.3
Flexibility of Studer machines
FormHSM technology is available on the Studer S 31 grinding machine, among others:
-
Distance between centers: 400, 650, 1000, 1600 mm
-
Up to 20 tool wheelhead configurations ensure versatility
-
Fast tool change reduces machine downtime by up to 90%
Q&A
What types of workpieces can be machined?
It is possible to grind non-circular shapes, including polygons, eccentric shafts, tool punches, implants, and Capto standard tools.
What are the main benefits of StuderForm HSM technology?
The most important advantages include guaranteed precision, process efficiency, simultaneous grinding of several surfaces, as well as adaptive error correction and dynamic axis control.
On which machines is this technology available?
StuderForm HSM is compatible with Studer S 31 universal cylindrical grinding machines, equipped with various distances between centers and advanced wheelhead configurations.
Does programming in FormHSM technology require external CAM software?
The StuderWIN operating system includes an integrated CAM module for generating and editing programs. It is available on the machine or in off-line mode on an external PC.
