CHEVALIER's SMART-818...VERY SMART!

The Smart-818 is a conversational and G-code language CNC grinder designed to provide simplicity, ease and versatility in the surface grinding process.

• PC-based control with a 15” color monitor and full alpha-numeric keyboard allows the operator to switch between manual, semi-automatic, fully automatic or CNC. 
• Conversational control language - all information input is in an easy to use,question-and-answer format.
• Canned cycles: slicing, plunge, criss-cross, step and hydraulic creepfeed.
• “Simulation mode” allows the operator to quickly program single-part runs that are frequently performed by moldmakers and toolrooms.
• Automatic wheel dressing program is also in a conversational format with a graphic display of the wheel shape shown to easily confirm its accuracy.
• 2HP spindle motor 
• Cartridge type spindle utilizes 4 angular contact bearings. 
• Counterbalance in the spindle provides greater downfeeding accuracy.
• Designed to accept an optional air or liquid cooling unit to minimize temperature increases during peak operations.
• Hand-scraped, Turcite-B coated longitudinal table ways are a double “V” design rather than the traditional one “V” and one flat way system. This feature allows better accuracy when performing delicate side grinding operations.
• Hydraulic unit is housed in a separate unit so as not to expose the machine base to high temperature or vibration.
• Downfeed and crossfeed axis feature 3/4” class C2 hardened and ground ballscrews, driven by Mitsubishi AC servo motors which permits more precise positioning.
• Fully automatic lubrication system 
• Fully supported table eliminates overhang problems.
• One-piece Meehanite cast-iron structure
