When the part will not fit a catalogue machine we design the machine.
WUK has a research and development team and its own testing laboratory, which is what makes developing machines from drawings or samples practical rather than theoretical. The linear knife sharpening machines in our range began this way, as an answer to a blade geometry no standard grinder could hold.
Workpiece geometry, tolerance, cycle time, batch size and the constraints of the floor space the machine has to fit.
Bed, stroke, wheel head and workholding proposed as a concept, with the achievable tolerance stated rather than implied.
Detailed design of the machine structure, drives and controls, including the fixture that holds your specific part.
Castings, machining, assembly and control integration, with your choice of FANUC, SIEMENS, SYNTEC or GSK control where CNC is involved.
The machine is proved on a sample part in our testing laboratory before it is packed.
Export crating, documentation, remote commissioning support and 12 months warranty on the delivered machine.
Grinds straight knife cutters up to 2000 mm long in a single reference.
The compact linear sharpener, for straight blades up to 700 mm long.
CNC punch and pin grinding from 1 mm up to 150 mm, internal and external.
OD and ID grinding on one machine, for shafts, bushes, needle valves and plungers.
From the drawing or the sample part, with the tolerance and cycle stated. You receive a concept, a specification and a dated build schedule before any deposit.
Usually, and often it is also the better engineering answer. Table extensions, alternative wheel heads and special fixtures are routine changes.
Yes. Send your agreement with the enquiry and we will review and sign it before technical discussion.
Longer than the 15 to 45 working days a standard machine takes, and quoted with a dated schedule specific to the project.
Send the drawing, the part or the question. Our engineers answer on WhatsApp during working hours in China and by email outside them.
