The
tooth geometries for
a nearly unlimited number of saws are stored on the hard drive of the
built in Intel� Celeron�
computer. Each saw is sharpened exactly the same way every time. Set
ups are very fast; it takes just seconds to begin sharpening the next
saw.
The full color
touchscreen shows the operator a picture of the tooth to be ground. Icon-based
graphics make the machine easy to set-up and run, even for non-readers.
The Armstrong Topper
uses three CNC axes and a hydraulic feed axis for speed, versatility
and accuracy. It grinds the tops
of saws from 6� (150 mm) to 28� (700 mm) diameters. Tooth spaces
up to 3� can be sharpened. Options include a full enclosure, either
water-based or oil coolant and a built-in de-mister for use with the
enclosed model grinder. This machine can be
ordered as a dual function machine (STF-628) that both tops and
faces your saws.

 The computer calculates all offsets for beveled and triple chip
saws, so the faceplate never needs to be manually adjusted.
Operator can select to automatically reverse the rotation of
the cup wheel to always grind onto the carbide or choose non-reversing
operation for faster cycle times.
 Oil
coolant or water-based coolant: your choice.
The Armstrong CNC Top grinder can be supplied either way.
Fire suppression is available from Armstrong or we will help
you work with your local supplier.
Whether you choose oil or water, two nozzles direct the coolant
between the grinding wheel and the carbide tip.
All adjustments are made through a
touch screen control panel that displays a picture of the finished
tooth shape. A built-in memory recalls the settings for a
virtually unlimited number of saw configurations.
