M14 Series Universal Cylindrical Grinding Machine

Two build points matter most on this machine: universal frame: the wheelhead swivels ±8° and the workhead +90°, so external, internal and taper grinding run on one machine; and internal grinding attachment included across the range, from 13 mm to 250 mm bore. Structure decides how a machine ages — the specification table tells you what it does new, the build tells you what it does in year five.

The M14 Series grinds diameters of 5-200 / 8-320 / 8-320 / 25-500 / 30-630 mm. Ground length steps with the model size — the table on this page states each. Quote finished diameter, length and workpiece weight together: the three place the machine, and weight is the one buyers forget.

Between centres whenever several diameters must stay concentric to one axis — the centre holes are the datum, so inspect and lap them before precision work. Chucks or collets take over when there are no centres or a bore is the reference. On the M14 Series, slender work past roughly ten diameters of unsupported length wants a steady rest carrying the span.

Both sit in the universal cylindrical grinding machine group, so the decision is capacity and duty, not kind: put your largest part dimensions, material and yearly quantity against each specification table and one of the two will run out of a figure first. Send the drawing and we will name which of the two fits — including the case where the smaller machine does the job.

Standard configurations generally ship within 30 to 60 days of a confirmed order, with the date written into the contract. The M14 Series then carries a 12-month warranty on main components, handled by the plant that built it, with lifetime technical support and spare parts identified by part number at handover.
