The price estimate for the Star SU TRU TECH T93XM is uncertain: we have no price for it that we can cite and no estimate we can stand behind, so we give no figure. Configuration, tooling, automation and installation move the final price substantially. A specific price can be requested at https://machinetoolindex.com/machines/star-su-tru-tech-t93xm#price; the request is passed to Star SU or an authorised dealer.
The specification table gives a maximum grind diameter of 3 in (75 mm) and a maximum grind length of 8 in (200 mm), noted as application specific. Minimum diameter depends on the tooling. The wheel can be up to 8 in (200 mm) in diameter.
It is the patented workholding unit at the centre of the machine, offered as the PP-8000 or the TT-5000. It supports the part at three points against a regulating roller. Star Cutter states that a part being ground can be removed, inspected and returned by hand without any indicating, which is what allows parts to be reloaded and reground without shank run-out.
The TRU TECH T93XM-A is the same grinder with automatic loading. The TRU TECH T93XM-A table lists a maximum grind diameter of 1 in (25 mm) and a maximum grind length of 10 in (254 mm), against 3 in (75 mm) and 8 in (200 mm) here. Travels, the 3 hp (2.2 kW) spindle and the accuracy figures are the same on both.
A Mitsubishi CNC with icon based conversational software, operated from a touch screen pendant. All 3 axes are programmable, with travels of 16 in (400 mm), 9 in (225 mm) and 8.6 in (218 mm). Spindle speed is set in the program, up to 5,000 RPM.
