Studer: The S23 Offers Top Grinding Technology in a Compact Space

The S23 universal cylindrical grinding machine from Studer offers high precision, great flexibility, and modern grinding technology in a compact design at an attractive price-performance ratio.

Thanks to its high-quality features, precision, and flexibility, the S23 complements our portfolio in the range between the entry-level and premium segments.

With a compact footprint, the CNC universal cylindrical grinding machine offers state-of-the-art and reliable grinding technology. For example, the advanced C.O.R.E. hardware and software architecture, an automatic B- axis with 1-degree Hirth gearing for up to three grinding tools, frequency-controlled motor spindles or belt drives, as well as the Granitan machine bed with its excellent thermal and vibration properties.

Customers also benefit from an innovative design developed by Studer for the S23. The arrangement of the grinding spindle head allows for great freedom of movement of the grinding tools in a single setup, increasing efficiency, especially with geometrically complex workpieces. State-of-the-art grinding technology, such as spark detection, semi-automatic balancing of the external grinding wheel, and the optional in-process measurement control, further ensures high-quality results.

Optimal Solution for a Broad Customer Spectrum

This makes the S23 the ideal solution for a broad customer spectrum. With high precision and process reliability, it grinds small to medium-sized workpieces, even with complex geometries, in both single and series production.

The S23 is ideal for production in mold and tool making, the automotive and supplier industry, aerospace, and medical technology.

Additionally, customers have numerous configuration options to adapt the machine to their individual production needs. These include a C-axis for thread and form grinding as well as the optional swiveling table. Custom adaptations are also possible.

The operation is simple and intuitive thanks to state-of-the-art digital technology and sensors. After a brief introduction, employees can reliably achieve high-quality results using the C.O.R.E. touch panel and StuderWIN software. Additionally, setup and changeover times are minimal, supported by the practical QuickSet function. Customers looking to automate their production can do so efficiently and economically thanks to standardized loader interfaces for easyLoad and insertLoad. And, of course, they benefit from Studer’s global, competent Customer Care and the expertise of a Swiss traditional company with over 111 years of history.
