High Precision CNC Grinding Machine
The Dominator 624 CNC machine is the smallest in a three-model line-up from Jones & Shipman, yet offers the functionality of a high precision grinding cell, the company says. The machine offers creep feed, surface and profile grinding in a multi-axis configuration and the latest GE-Fanuc terminal CNC control from a 2,025 mm x 1,500 mm footprint. The compact size is designed to make the machine especially useful for busy machine shops where space is at a premium, but precision, ease-of-use and high productivity rates are still paramount.

Built around a GE-Fanuc touchscreen, the easy control system reduces the need for operator training and cuts setup and change-over time.
