DRAKE’S GS:TE-LM (Grinding System: Thread External – Linear Motor)
Since its debut in 2004, the LM series of internal, external, and universal thread and gear grinders have proven to be one of the most productive thread grinders ever. Because of its high stiffness and intuitive, simple to use PartSmart™ software, these Linear Motor grinders are setting new productivity standards in tap, worm, ball nut, gear, and gage grinding in both job shops and in dedicated production cells.
From M1x0.8 form taps to 5-start DIN 2 worms to 20” API buttress casing gages to 4 meter ball screws, we at Drake have a linear motor thread grinder to fit your production requirements whether you are grinding with AlOx2, Seeded Gel Ceramic, or CBN, the LM series of thread grinders can meet your demanding production needs.

| Drake PartSmart™ Programming Parameters
Menu-driven software speeds set-up and assures accuracy.
Your Drake GS:TE-LM is customized for your specific manufacturing environment and your parts. To set up for a given part, all you have to do is enter the work piece parameters and the menu-driven programs take it from there. Your operator is guided through the grind and dress process by our simple to understand menu screens. Since the program is designed for your exact parts, such factors as truing forms, grind paths and spindle and work are easily entered, giving you complete control over the process without programming. |
