Grinding
Abrasive belt technology has proven to be the safest and most efficient material removal method for the casting industry. A W Bell Machinery utilises this technology in all of our grinders to deliver superior quality, consistency and productivity.
| Power | 4HP |
| Belt width (standard) | 100mm |
| Belt length | 72in or 1830 mm |
| Contact wheel diameter | 10in |
Set on a compact footprint, the MGS34 has been designed with the operator in mind. Pneumatic height adjustment of the grinding belt allows the operator to work at the most comfortable height, resulting in reduced fatigue and higher operator efficiency.
| Power | 3 kW |
| Belt width (standard) | 100mm |
| Belt length | 3350mm |
| Contact wheel diameter | 356mm |
With safety in mind, AW Bell Machinery have designed the MPG40, a manually-operated abrasive grinding machine that offers extreme flexibility to tackle all types of castings with a two-button safety circuit to ensure operator safety and confidence.
| Power | 30 kW |
| Belt width (standard) | 150mm |
| Belt length | 3350mm |
The adjustable rise and fall action of the RGS programmable plunge grinders makes them the most versatile machines to remove both flat and circular gates. The hydraulic control on the plunge motion provides consistent high-pressure grinding that produces not only 10 times the rate of a conventional grinder but also highly-consistent results.
| Model | RGS430 | RGS450 | RGS460 |
| Power | 22 kW | 37kW | 45kW |
| Belt width (standard) | 100mm | 150mm | 150mm |
| Belt width (max) | 150mm | 200mm | 200mm |
| Belt length | 3350mm | 3350mm | 3350mm |
| Contact wheel diameter | 508mm | 508mm | 508mm |
| Table size | 300 x 257mm | 351 x 257mm | 351 x 257mm |
| Table stroke | 254mm | 254mm | 254mm |
| Max gate removal | 1290mm2 | 2130mm2 | 2580mm2 |
The RGS230 programmable rotary table grinder is the ideal choice for small to medium size castings with high production runs. Capable of maintaining an accuracy of 0.1mm, it is excellent for castings requiring tight tolerance on flatness.
On continuous mode, the RGS230 is only limited by how fast the operator can load and unload parts, producing significantly higher production rates than conventional grinding or using a standard plunge machine.
| Power | 22 kW |
| Belt width (standard) | 100mm |
| Belt width (max) | 150mm |
| Belt length | 3350mm |
| Contact wheel diameter | 508mm |
| Table diameter | 800mm |
| Maximum throat opening | 160mm |
| Max gate removal | 1290mm2 |
The servo axis control of the RGS850 along with the ability to change contact wheel size allow for accurate profile grinding of varied shapes, providing a solution for more complex parts to be processed autonomously in large batches in a single cycle. User-friendly, step-by-step HMI programming allows the operator to individually program each part cycle and store it for future use. The RGS850 machine is built on a compact footprint, facilitating installation and re-location if required, should your layout need to change.
| Power | 37 kW |
| Belt width (standard) | 200mm |
| Up/Down Movement | 270mm |
| Fore/Aft Movement | 600mm |
| Belt length | 3350mm |
| Table size | 600mm (L) x 450mm (W) |
| Maximum throat opening | 300mm |

More like a CNC machine centre than an aftercast linishing machine, the RGS360 is A W Bell Machinery’s large parts grinder. A fully automated cycle combines an indexing table with reciprocating motion to selectively linish at pre-programmed positions within the work area.
The RGS360 permits motion steps to be programmed either by rotary, reciprocating or x-y head movement. Therefore, whether it be multiple gates at different heights, one large gate or multiple parts per cycle, the RGS360 can be programmed to grind it.
| Power | 45 kW |
| Contact wheel diameter (standard) | 250mm |
| Belt width | 200mm |
| Belt length | 3350mm |
| Max part diameter | 860mm |
| Max part height | 500mm |
