• Linear motors on linear ways for maximum acceleration and contouring capability with fewer mechanical parts for low maintenance operation


• Tenth-micron scale feedback for world class accuracy now and after years of operation


• Drake Smart Spindle™ technology providing automatic balancing, touch dressing, and part feature locating


• Drake Smart Form™ technology that automatically generates corrected wheel forms for helical path interference and off helix grinding or calculates setup parameters for generating desired part feature geometry with a standard wheel form


• Power wheel helix +/- 35° lead angle for external, +/- 10° for internal threads


• Mineral filled cast polymer base with excellent thermal stability and vibration dampening


• High static and dynamic stiffness to aggressively grind with the latest super abrasives


• State of the art Fanuc CNC system for reliability


• A lean, clean, ergonomic design and compact footprint for operation in a cell environment
  

The LM2 has been designed from the ground up to take advantage of the latest superabrasives. And, like all Drake grinders, they are delivered pre-programmed for your parts. Drake guarantees good parts out the door from day one.

Applications
Our LM internal and external thread grinders are well-suited for grinding:

• Taps
• Thread gages
• Multi-start worms
• Electronic steering components
• Fast lead ball screws and nuts
• Feed and bone screws
• Gear box worms
• Transmission parts
• Other high precision components.

And these machines were designed with a compact footprint to easily fit into manufacturing cells.

Totally customized programming.
The menu-driven software (you need no programming) is pre-programmed for your exact applications. And you can count on Drake's System Engineers for full-time support and assistance as your needs change and the technology advances.

The total system is pre-tested at our plant on your parts. Then it's proved out for you and prepped for start-up.

You get good parts out the door from day one!
