          • Precision surface and profile grinding machine

            To avoid effects of heat expansion and vibration, the hydraulic unit is isolated from the main unit.

            For the purpose of long lifetime and maintenance free operation, the slideways are lubricated automatically via an oil bath at the top of the column. Lubrication oil is automatically pumped to the top oil bath for gravity feed to the slideways, making the lubrication system almost completely fail safe.

            The machine features a V-V table and cross slideways for ultimate flatness and straightness. The combination of scraped cross and vertical slideways with low friction Turcite assures accuracy whilst dampening out vibration for the best workpiece surface finish.

              • Powering the World’s Critical Industries

              • Precision is not universal; it is specific. The demands of grinding a silicon wafer differ vastly from the demands of grinding a landing gear strut. Okamoto Europe provides specialized grinding solutions tailored to the unique material challenges, tolerance requirements, and production volumes of your specific sector.

                  • Automotive: High-Volume Precision

                  • The automotive landscape is evolving. With the rise of Electric Vehicles (EVs), the demand for quieter, higher-precision transmission gears and shafts has never been higher. Okamoto supports Tier 1 suppliers and OEMs with machines that deliver consistency over high-volume production runs.

                    The Challenge: Modern automotive components require tighter tolerances to reduce friction and noise. Manufacturers need machines that can maintain these tolerances 24/7 without thermal drift.

                    The Okamoto Solution: Our Internal and Cylindrical Grinding machines are engineered for the mass production of complex powertrain components. We offer automated loading solutions and in-process gauging to ensure zero-defect manufacturing.

                  • Aerospace: Mastering Exotic Materials

                  • In aerospace, failure is not an option. This sector demands the processing of “difficult-to-cut” materials that are heat-resistant and incredibly tough. Okamoto’s signature rigidity provides the stability needed to grind these superalloys without vibration or chatter.

                    The Challenge: Materials like Inconel, Titanium, and Nickel-based alloys are notoriously difficult to grind. They require high rigidity to prevent tool deflection and advanced cooling systems to prevent thermal damage to the workpiece.

                    The Okamoto Solution: Our Double Column Surface Grinders and specialized Profile Grinders utilize a heavy-duty cast iron construction (Meehanite) that dampens vibration. Combined with our rigid spindles and specific abrasive solutions, we achieve mirror finishes on the toughest aerospace alloys.

                  • Semiconductor: The Nanometer Standard

                  • Okamoto is a pioneer in the semiconductor equipment market. As electronic devices become smaller and more powerful, the need for ultra-thin, perfectly flat wafers increases. We provide the technology that powers the global electronics supply chain.

                    The Challenge: Wafer processing requires handling extremely brittle materials (Silicon, SiC, GaN) with total thickness variation (TTV) measured in nanometers.

                    The Okamoto Solution: We offer a complete line of “Back Grinding” and Polishing machines. Our systems utilize advanced air-bearing spindles and vacuum chuck technology to thin wafers safely and uniformly, supporting the shift towards next-generation Power Devices.

                  • The Foundation of Industrial Reliability

                  • The industrial components market supplies precision parts that are essential for machinery, equipment, and production systems across many industries, including automation, energy, transportation, and mechanical engineering. These components must meet high standards for accuracy, durability, and consistent quality.

                    Manufacturing industrial components requires advanced machining processes such as CNC milling, turning, heat treatment, and high-precision grinding to achieve tight tolerances and reliable surface finishes.

                  • Precision Tooling for Modern Manufacturing

                  • The mould & die industry is a key driver of modern manufacturing, providing highly precise tools for the production of plastic and metal components. It supports industries such as automotive, medical technology, electronics, packaging, and consumer goods, where accuracy, reliability, and repeatability are essential.

                    Advanced technologies like CAD/CAM, CNC machining, EDM, and high-precision grinding are used to manufacture moulds and dies with tight tolerances and superior surface quality.
