ANCA introduces the MX7 -
a high-performance next generation CNC precision grinding system. 
Melbourne -- ANCA, a global leader in the design and manufacture of complete, high-precision CNC grinding systems, announces the introduction of the MX7, a next-generation machine specifically designed to meet the demanding needs of tool production facilities seeking maximum output while remaining flexible to customer needs. The MX7 can manufacture a variety of tools up to 16mm (5/8”) diameter. In making the announcement, Adam Wallace, MX7 Product Manager, said, “The MX7 introduction underscores ANCA’s commitment to innovate and invest in the future, especially during the current economic downturn. ANCA is committed to supporting our customers’ needs long-term, in all regions of the world. The MX7 really is a solution for today’s manufacturing realities. It offers high output, enhanced flexibility and quick changeover for high efficiency and support for lean manufacturing principles; and it does this at an attractive investment for faster ROI.”
“The MX7 provides the best of both worlds – superb flexibility and quick changeover to accommodate smaller batch sizes yet high output for production houses” he adds. “That’s where the ten-second wheel and tool changeover capability really makes its mark; it’s a key strength and competitive advantage of the MX7.” MX7’s permanent-magnet spindle produces superior spindle performance across the entire spindle working range. The higher torque at lower RPM is particularly suited for carbide grinding. The spindle has a maximum of 10,000rpm with a spindle power rating of 20kW/27Hp (S1). Due to the lower current draw, less heat is generated and therefore less expansion. The inclusion of a standard Wheel Pack Changer dramatically increases machine productivity and flexibility. With a 10-second wheel change time and 6 HSK wheel packs, the MX7 offers unprecedented flexibility in manufacturing. Productivity on the MX7 can be further enhanced using the MLX Loader. Designed for maximum productivity and minimal setup time and a 10 second tool change time, it gives a big boost to productivity. The integration into the machine base also ensures repeatable loading to go along with the one gripper set for loading, reducing setup time.
