You grind concentric cylindrical parts at exceptionally low cost with this ma
chine because you grind with unvarying output —
and you grind at the highest rate at which the job can be done.
The consistently fast automatic operation of the Type CTU Full Automatic
completely eliminates the requirement of experience and skill on the
operator. The quality and quantity of work produced that ordinarily depend
on operator skill and dexterity are obtained in

You can set the automatic wheel truing device for the desired diamond feed
which is repeated at each truing. By means of a special arrangement, at extra
cost, the truing device is made to function automatically at regular selected
intervals. Automatic compensation for the amount of wheel reduction is also
available as an extra. With these arrangements, the machine becomes com

The Type CTU Full Automatic not only gives you effortless high production
with resulting low costs — it gives you long service life in addition. Extra

under heavy loads, minimizes maintenance requirements, and prolongs the

The type of work loading device supplied with the Type CTU
Full Automatic depends on the physical character of the work
to be ground.
For wrist pins, bushings, valve guides and similar parts where
both ends of the work are alike, a Chute Type loader is furnished.
With the Chute Type, hydraulically operated fingers at the base
of the chute pick off each piece
the work centers. Simultaneously the previously ground piece is
removed and dropped down the return chute and into the finished
work receptacle.
Irregular non-symetrical parts however, might tend to wedge and

Both types of loaders promote maximum output by the automatic

Selected Headstocks
The type of headstock supplied is determined by
the nature of the work to be ground. The head-
stock furnished may be of the dead center type
(with corresponding footstock with automatic
closing feature); it may be a live center type with
without footstock, or two synchronized headstocks
with live centers may be supplied.

Sturdy Tables
Sturdy sliding and swivel tables assist the grinding
action. The swivel table provides for grinding
taper work and permits correction of taper in
grinding work straight. The sliding table may be
positioned by the hand table drive mechanism
for setup or adjustment.
Easy-Fast Wheel Feed Setting
Settings for both the rate and amount of the auto
matic feed are easily made from the front of the
machine. A "click-count”
permits instant correction of the amount of feed
by rotating a knob. The rate of wheel feed also is
changed instantly by the mere rotation of a knob.

The wheel spindle unit is of major'importance to
the enduring precision and fast action you get from
the machine. It is rugged for heavy stock removal
— yet precise for close tolerances and fine finishes.
Over 50% of the spindle body is enclosed in two
long, hard bronze bearings of super-duty size.
This construction gives extreme resistance to de
flection by wheel pressure and to o^her conditions
that reduce efficiency. The spindle, specially
toughened to improve wear qualities, remains on
its fixed center line; no shifting is possible.
The performance of the spindle unit is further in
creased by three important factors: flood Jubrica-
tion which is automatic, filtered and seif-contained
within the wheelslide, minute oil clearances, and
modern precision boring of the spindle bearings.
A
Speedy-Precise
Automatic Grinding Cycle
In the automatic grinding cycle, the grinding wheel
is rapidly brought toward the work — and is
rapidly withdrawn from the work on completion
of
the grind — by
hydraulic cylinder. In this rapid movement, the
large diameter feed screw, the feed screw nut,
and the wheel slide are moved as an integral unit
with no relative motion between these elements —
and no wear.
Automatic grinding feed occurs upon .cushioned
completion of the rapid advance of the grinding
wheel. The grinding feed is accomplished by
automatic rotation of the large diameter feed screw
in its nut by hydraulic means. This rotating feed
screw type of automatic grinding feed., produces
an extremely fine and enduring repetitive accuracy
because of metal-io-mctal contact of feed screw and
nut which are mated and lapped together in manu
facture.
