Tschudin's unique and patented ecoLine series of infeed centerless
grinders is truly a step ahead of the competition. By using the most modern technology available, Tschudin developed
the world's most advanced and simplest centerless grinder on the market today. Unmatched in precision and fast changeover
capability, the Tschudin Ecoline concept allows the part to be loaded outside of the machine, either manually or by
an assortment of simple loading systems, creating an operator-safe environment.
This 3-axis CNC grinder uses natural granite for the base and spindle housings, ensuring optimal thermal stability and stiffness.
The grinding wheel, regulating wheel and workblade are on their individually programmed CNC axes, each programmable to
.1u.
Tschudin has truly opened up new avenues and created simplicity in centerless grinding technology.

Accura Technics provides (3) platforms of high precision,
special application and production grinders. The 1210G is a slim line, vertical spindle grinder that can be configured
as a rotary surface grinder, dual-wheel grinder, Out-of-Round (OOR) grinder and much more. For tool room or production grinding
applications, configured as ID, OD or both. The Microtol is a horizonal spindle platform, using gang tool setups for hard turning and
grinding.The Accura "C" platform (not shown) is the between-centers cylindrical for straight or angle-head grinding.
The 1210G and "C" platforms use natural granite for the base and offers spindle configurations from air bearing, hybrid
bearing, to hydrostatic to conventional.
All platforms are used for application specific, engineered solutions. Made in the USA!
