Machine
• The new VARIA from Kellenberger combines functional design with high-precision technology.• Hydrostatic guides guarantee maximum dimensional accuracy in grinding tasks with interpolating axes.• High positioning speeds and accuracies are assured by direct drives for the rotary axes.• Generous X and Z axes strokes in combination with the platform concept for grinding head positions and dressing systems ensure universality and allow application-specific configurations.• The proven integral transportation concept (hook machine) has been retained and reduces machine commissioning times and ensures a compact installation area.• Durable hydrostatic guides and energy-efficient concepts guarantee a highly secure capital investment.
Designed and built in Switzerland
VARIA – evolution
Systematically optimised proven elements, e.g. the hydrostatic guide concept, combined with newly developed components such as the automatic cylinder correction system and synchronous tailstock provide a con-temporary platform for flexibly satisfying all the varied requirements of our customers.

HydrostaticsThe hydrostatic guideways and the systematic separation of the machine base from heat and vibration-generating components guarantee the highest in precision and productivity.
All movements in the X and Z axes are practically friction-free at all speeds.
The new VARIA from Kellenberger unitesfunctional design with high-precision technology..
Hydrostatic B axisFull-fledged NC axis with pre-tensioned hydrostatic guideway and direct drive. The pre-tensioned hydrostatics are the basis for higher accuracy and better surface quality. Steps of 0.0001 degrees can be traveled with ease.
Direct Drive SystemThe drive system based on a water-cooled high-torque motor guarantees a high level of torque.
A high-resolution rotary encoder is in-tegrated in the absolute measurement system and requires no referencing.

LARGE WORK SPACE – UNIQUE TABLE CONCEPT
The machine table has been considerably extended so it allows unmatched, optimal positioning of the grinding wheel and a larger travel distance, but also many machining options and application-specific configurations.
FUNCTIONAL MACHINE CASING
The increased sheet metal thickness means even more process reliability, allowing larger internal grinding wheel diameter of up to 125 mm. With their large viewing windows, the generously-sized doors allow optimum control over the work process and make it easier to access the work space. The genuine glass laminated safety panes require very little maintenance.
COMPACT AND MAINTENANCE-FRIENDLY
Elements such as the power supply, electrical cabinet, and a central connection point for lubricating coolant, water cooling system, and compressed air were all integrated into the casing. Service and maintenance doors for unimpeded access to machine components are integrated into the back.
OPTIMIZED ENERGY MANAGEMENT
Performance-optimized central cooling system. Automated procedures for switching on and off. Energy-efficient low-pressure hydrostatics.
EASY COMMISSIONING
The integrated transportation concept (hook machine) shortens commissioning times considerably.
WORKHEAD
Robust, rigid construction on a strong base. Powerful drive performance. Infinitely variable spindle speed. Direct drive for heavy chuck parts. The airlock seal prevents the penetration of dirt and water and the formation of condensation.
TAILSTOCK
The construction of the tailstock is generous and sturdy in its dimensions. The nitrided sleeve is mounted in robust linear bearings. Further options are a synchronous tailstock and a automated cylindricity corrections.
HEIDENHAIN GRINDplus 640 / KEL-SOFT
The perfectly coordinated interaction between the 3D KELSOFT software and the hardware produces optimal results for out-of-round grinding.
NON-ROUND GRINDING
Out-of-round grinding of any shape is even more productive, with increased precision at the same time due to hydrostatic guide-ways and direct workhead. This applies to small and large workpieces alike.
Universal Wheelheads The universal wheelhead makes it possible to cover the different needs of users. In addition to external cylind-rical, face and internal grinding, today there is an increase in demand for the use of 2–3 internal grinding spindles or the option of thread or out-of-round grinding. Grinding in one setting allows shorter throughput times and considerably raises the quality of the workpieces at the same time.
Diagonal Wheelheads Diagonal wheelheads offer the option of rough and finish-grinding in one setting. With the additional use of HF internal grinding spindles even universal external, face and internal grinding are possible.
Tandem WheelheadsThe tandem wheelheads are designed to allow straight and angular plunge grinding work all in the same setting, without any collisions. With an addi-tional internal grinding spindle, it is even possible to machine bore holes. Applications even exist with up to 4 grinding wheels.
Pivotable Dressing System Flexible and optimum dressing pro-cess for workpiece, tool and material-specific coordination. Sharp grinding wheels are essential for high quality. New concepts for reducing setup time.
