Drake Manufactur<strong>in</strong>g Services Co.<br />

has recently shipped a GS:TE-LM 200<br />

Steer<strong>in</strong>g Worm Gr<strong>in</strong>der to a European<br />

automotive parts supplier. The mach<strong>in</strong>e<br />

will f<strong>in</strong>ish gr<strong>in</strong>d <strong>the</strong> thread geometry<br />

on a steer<strong>in</strong>g worm shaft. It is equipped<br />

with Drake’s Smart Sp<strong>in</strong>dle technology,<br />

which features an acoustic emissions<br />

sensor mounted <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> high-speed<br />

sp<strong>in</strong>dle. This sensor detects <strong>the</strong> sound<br />

of <strong>the</strong> wheel touch<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> part to with<strong>in</strong><br />

less than one micron. In effect, <strong>the</strong><br />

wheel becomes a probe for <strong>the</strong> part,<br />

automatically equaliz<strong>in</strong>g stock on both<br />

sides of a thread groove. The result is a<br />

significant improvement <strong>in</strong> setup, quality<br />

and productivity. The GS:TE-LM<br />

200 is also equipped with a part load<br />

verification system. The robot picks<br />

a part off <strong>the</strong> pallet and places it <strong>in</strong><br />

a measur<strong>in</strong>g fixture <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> mach<strong>in</strong>e.<br />

Measurement sensors detect a particular<br />

feature on <strong>the</strong> part and determ<strong>in</strong>e<br />

if it is correctly oriented. Once verified,<br />

<strong>the</strong> part is placed <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> collet and<br />

gr<strong>in</strong>d<strong>in</strong>g beg<strong>in</strong>s.<br />

It’s time to shift gears—by comb<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g complex mach<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g<br />
