UGM 5VII Vertical Multi-Surface Grinding Machine

FEATURES:
Precision Grinding for Large, Complex Workpieces.
The UGM Vertical is a powerful multi-surface grinding solution engineered for large, heavy workpieces that are difficult to fixture on horizontal machines. With single-chucking capability, the UGM 5VII performs inner diameter, outer diameter, and end-face grinding in one setup, delivering exceptional perpendicularity, cylindricity, and process efficiency. Designed with productivity and accuracy in mind, this compact vertical machine combines advanced automation, rigid construction, and intelligent controls to streamline grinding operations while saving valuable floorspace.

Built for Large and Challenging Workpieces
The vertical configuration makes it easier to handle large, heavy, or long components that are difficult to fixture horizontally, including:

• Large gears

• Reducer housings

• Construction machinery components

• Excavator parts

• Long workpieces that must maintain straightness during grinding


Maximum Efficiency with Automatic Tool Changing
The UGM Vertical is equipped with a standard Auto Tool Changer (ATC) and automatic turret rotation, allowing up to four different grinding wheels to be loaded simultaneously.
This enables:

• Multiple grinding operations without manual wheel changes

• Faster cycle times

• Higher productivity with a single workpiece chucking


Precision Wheel Head Positioning
A Curvic coupling system ensures highly accurate indexing of the wheel head with two precise swivel positions: 0° and -30°. This allows the machine to perform complex grinding tasks while maintaining consistent precision and repeatability.

Advanced Grinding Performance
The machine incorporates high-end mechanical and control technologies to maintain exceptional grinding accuracy:

• Built-in high-precision spindle unit designed for high-accuracy grinding

• Scale feedback system for wheel infeed and table longitudinal axis to ensure precise positioning

• Rotary dresser unit capable of dressing both small and large grinding wheels

• Automatic wheel head swivel function for efficient multi-angle grinding


Intuitive Control with Okamoto G.U.I.
The UGM Vertical features Okamoto’s exclusive graphical user interface (GUI) with easy-to-read icon-based controls. This intuitive system simplifies machine operation and programming, reducing operator training time while improving workflow efficiency.

Space-Saving Vertical Design
Despite its powerful capabilities, the UGM Vertical features a compact footprint, allowing manufacturers to increase grinding capacity while conserving valuable shop floor space.

UGM Vertical delivers the versatility, rigidity, and automation needed to grind large, complex components with exceptional precision and efficiency.
