Benefits
The customer is doing finish grinding on ingots before shipping to their customer. The customer previously used a swing grinder which is VERY labor intensive and put the operator within inches of the grinding wheel. This became a growing safety concern. They wanted an operator-friendly machine that was not labor-intensive and much safer operation. Must safer design compared to a swing grinder, superior wireless control capability. The customer has been very complimentary of the machine’s functionality, safety and its reliability.
