MACHINE FOR TOOLING SMALL PARTS

This machine tool such as CNC edge grinding apparatus is an apparatus for machining small glass parts such as a side view mirror. For small parts, grind time can exceed by a considerable amount the load/unload time. This machine greatly increases the output of the system. It minimizes the waiting time by providing an auxiliary station for simultaneous unloading/loading while grinding. Controls integrate multiple axes, which are part of the holding mechanisms, with the linear axes of the grind head, to grind the part.
