MB 1000U: CNC universal cylindrical grinding machine for maximum flexibility on large workpieces

The MB 1000U is a CNC universal cylindrical grinding machine based on the MaiBase platform for high-precision internal and external cylindrical grinding of large workpieces up to 1000 mm. It was developed for applications where different workpieces, geometries and machining processes need to be flexibly mapped on one machine – even on large dimensions.

CNC control Fanuc Oi-F Plus
  • 19'' LCD color display with touch function
  • M.+M. Mai software with GUIDE for guided and simple program creation on the workpiece
  • IPC operating system Windows 10 IoT
  • Hand panel with axis and speed selector switch
Base
  • FEM-optimized polymer concrete bed for maximum stability and durability
  • Mechanical separation of machine and peripherals for thermal stability and minimization of vibration influences
Tailstock
  • Up to 100 kg workpiece weight
  • MT3 and MT4
  • Stroke 20 mm (optional 60 mm and 120 mm)
  • Adjustment range +/- 30 µm
  • Pneumatic and hydraulic lift-off
Universal workhead
  • Applications with stationary or rotating spindle
  • Speed range 1 – 1,000 min-1
  • Roundness accuracy ≤ 0.001 mm (optional ≤ 0.0005 mm)
  • Oriented spindle stop
  • MT4, MT5 and MT6 available
Table/Slide
  • Linear guideway for X-axis, low-maintenance, high-precision
  • Low-wear sliding guideway for Z-axis
  • Optical position measuring systems on X- and Z-axis
  • High dynamics thanks to speeds of up to 8 m/min on Z- and X-axis
Ergonomics
  • Good overview of the grinding process
  • Centrally and easily accessible interfaces for table attachments
  • Thoughtful accessibility for cost-effective maintenance and service
  • Optional with automatic door opening
Load capacity
  • Cantilever 100 Nm
  • Between centers up to 100 kg (depending on variant)
Swiveling wheelhead (B-axis)
  • Significant reduction in non-productive times thanks to fast swiveling of the fully automatic wheelhead
  • Highest positioning and repeat accuracy through the use of a Hirth coupling

Thanks to its modular design and the swiveling wheelhead, the MB 1000U enables versatile grinding strategies while reducing non-productive times. It is ideal for complex grinding tasks with high demands on dimensional accuracy, surface finish and form accuracy – especially for large and heavy components.

The robust machine structure made of polymer concrete, high-precision guideways and modern CNC technology ensure high process stability and reproducible results. At the same time, the machine offers excellent accessibility and flexible automation options, making it ideal for integration into a wide range of production environments.

Available with the following control

FANUC Oi-F Plus
