TTB Next

The TTB NEXT is the perfect combination of precision, productivity, flexibility, and stability, all in a compact footprint of just 4 m².
It delivers outstanding precision even in the most complex operations, thanks to backlash-free linear axes powered by TTB’s exclusive drive system, paired with high-resolution optical scales and encoders.
The innovative turret allows for ultra-fast wheel changes in just 2 seconds, with wheel positioning repeatability under 0,3 µm!
The use of modular components enables quick production changeovers, making the TTB NEXT ideal for small batch manufacturing.
Its structure also ensures exceptional mechanical and thermal stability, making it equally suitable for large-scale production.
All this comes with an optimal Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), thanks to extremely low maintenance costs.

 

For every type of rotary tool

From standard to the most complex geometries, the TTB NEXT is perfect for producing any rotary tool from Ø 0,01 mm to 20,00 mm.
Simple and step drills, standard and form end mills, ball nose end mills, turning tools, reamers, threading tools and punches.
Every type of tool for a wide range of industries: automotive, electronics, watchmaking, micromechanics, optics, medical, dental, aerospace, etc.
Capable of grinding tools made of solid carbide, CBN, ceramic, and high-speed steel (HSS).

 

Machine equipment

 

Revolver

The innovative turret enables both ultra-fast wheel changes in just 2 seconds and wheel positioning repeatability of less than 0,3 µm!

 

Automatic loader

Integrated 3-axis CNC loader equipped with a double gripper, performing synchronized loading and unloading operations in only 13 seconds. Thanks to the prismatic collet support, the loader handles tools from 1 to 16 mm without the need for retooling.

 

Wheel probe

Wheel wear monitoring using a cylindrical probe, with automatic calibration to ensure maximum measurement accuracy. Calibration can also be programmed during the machining cycle.

 

Workpiece probe

Workpiece probing using a fork-type probe. Allows definition of the tool position, both radially and axially, before grinding. It is also possible to probe the internal coolant holes of tools with diameters starting from just 0.2 mm. Repeatable within 1 µm.

 

Options

 

Steady rest

Steady rest for supporting the workpiece, ideal for grinding long parts at high feed rates. Recommended for tools with a length ≥ 10 times the diameter. Available with prismatic or semi-spherical inserts. Simple and quick installation and setup, fully compatible with automatic loading.

 

Shank guide

Optimizes tool concentricity by guiding the shank on a prism. Fast and intuitive installation and setup, fully compatible with automatic loading.

 

Hydraulic clamping

Hydraulic chuck, option for applications where very tight concentricity is required. Guaranteed concentricity below 1 µm.

 

HF spindle

High-frequency spindle, up to 150'000 RPM for internal grinding or narrow flutes. Quick and easy mounting and setup of the HF spindle. Possibility to mount up to 5 HF spindles simultaneously.

 

Wheel dressing

Wheel dressing in-process to compensate for wear and ensure machine autonomy, even for very large batches. Dressing wheel mounted behind the tool, with dressing frequency programmable according to grinding requirements.

 

Camera

Camera for orienting coolant holes with diameters from 0.05 to 2.00 mm. The measurement is carried out in the loading area, using the loader axes, and thus takes place in masked time.

 

Revolver with 5 spindles

Option to increase the number of grinding wheels available in the machine by 25%.

 

Preventive maintenance

Counting the working hours of individual wear components (such as spindles or filters) and notifying for preventive replacement.

 

Industry 4.0

Exporting production data (batch, number of parts produced, cycle time, etc.) to external servers, with an interface compliant with Industry 4.0 standards. An intuitive TTB dashboard, also accessible from smartphones, provides real-time monitoring.

 

Energy savings

The Eco function significantly reduces the machine’s power consumption while still ensuring maximum performance during machining, thanks to cycle optimization and intelligent resource management.
