Overview

ANCA designs and manufactures its own machines. We provide solutions for key components such as CNC controls, spindle and servo drives; we develop our own system and application software; we manufacture all main mechanical components and we assemble and test the final product to international machine tool standards. This allows us to be extremely flexible with respect to your specific requirements and we can confidently offer very short lead times from the initial concept to a finished product. Following are some examples of our innovative technologies which are common to all ANCA machines. You will instantly recognize the benefits for your applications and trouble free production. Polymer Concrete Base Polymer concrete bases provide a unique combination of vibration dampening that is significantly better than cast iron and an excellent thermal stability with rigidity, which directly contributes to the precision of the tools produced on ANCA machines. Direct Drive ANCA pioneered direct-drive technology in CNC tool and cutter grinders and remains the leader in this field. All linear and rotary axes as well as grinding spindles are directly driven. We do not use gears, pulleys or belts. This leads to the best possible energy transmission, high reliability due to less moving parts, naturally high precision and the best surface finish. Axes Configuration Placing the grinding wheels close to the centre of rotation means that the machines are compact yet offer a large working envelope and ensure that grinding of very small radii with high accuracy is achieved. It also ensures minimum overhang whilst grinding. MPG Feed MPG Feed is a patented invention that enables the operator to test programs very quickly and safely. Rotating the MPG handwheel moves all machine axes along the programmed path, both forwards and backwards.
