The Superior two axis CNC Profile Dresser breathes new life into any centerless grinder. Designed around an operator-friendly touchscreen interface, the dresser brings the power of CNC machining to your grinder without any of the headaches of programming G-codes.

Equipped with two servo motors, nearly any profile can be accurately dressed in a minimum of time.

The dresser provides both linear and circular interpolation capabilities to allow tapers and arcs in your profile.

Due to the simple and clean design of the touch-screen interface, an operator needsno prior knowledge to operate the dresser. An unlimited number of different profiles can be stored on the dresser permitting quick change-over from one task to another. The color touch-screen monitor is mounted on a pendant near the actual dresser for convenient operation. Several push buttons are also provided for functions such as emergency stop, retract, cycle start, jogging and compensation.
