Guill boosts extrusion tooling capability with new grinder and scanner
Guill Toll, a global company with expertise in extrusion tooling, announced the purchase of a CNC grinder and a CT scanner.
The company’s rheology lab measures the flow characteristics of plastics and rubber to better predict how the customer’s material will flow through the extrusion dies before they are made. With the scanner, simulation greatly reduces the number of physical reworks needed.
CNC vertical multi-process grinder
Purchased from DMG Mori, the TAYIYO KOKI, is a CNC vertical multi-process machine that grinds ID, OD and face by one-time chucking. The ATC unit stores up to six tools. Features of the wheel spindle include HSK-E100 single spindle and a 2-position turret with indexing angle 0 and 22.5.

An optional touch sensor for measuring ID, OD and face is available, as well as a scale feedback control for the X-axis. Control for the Z-axis is also available upon request.
Additional features include a single point dresser (rotary dresser as an option) and a work spindle fixed-position stop. Vertical Mate 85 is ideal for applications such as planetary gears, spindle housings and bevel gears.
In the job shop, Guill offers CNC grinding technology with full automation in lights-out mode as well as custom service for dies and superior material quality, including stainless steel manufacturing and fabrication.
High-performance dimension measurement system
With high-definition imaging, the IM-8000 Series Image Dimension Measurement System has triple the detection performance, without sacrificing its simple operation. The system includes a 20-megapixel CMOS sensor and a new algorithm for stable, edge detection high-accuracy measurement on up to 300 features within seconds is available.
IM-8000 Series for performance detection.
Newly developed, optional automated rotary fixture allows 360° multi-surface measurement on diverse part sizes and shapes. Accurate and repeatable measurements are instantly achieved with the “place and press” operation. The fast, accurate and easy-to-use interface solves several measurement-related problems.
