Customer Economics is our focus

Alex Machine Tools is the largest manufacturer of high precision surface grinding machines in India.

Satisfying the requirements of Customers and commitment to high-quality products are the
principles which form the cornerstone of the ALEX Group. This policy has remained unchanged
throughout the history of the organization and has been fundamental in establishing a reputation for
being the leading Surface Grinder manufacturer in India. ALEX offers a comprehensive range of
Surface Grinding machines from the Reciprocating hydraulically operated Surface Grinder to high
power Rotary Surface Grinder to precision Double Disk Grinding to Special Purpose Grinding
Solutions. This range includes a wide variety of sophistication including computer numerical
controls, automatic in-process gauging and other material handling automation, depending on the
customer’s need and application.
WELCOME

Over the past 30 years ALEX has grown its manufacturing base to include three plants located in
India. Alex Machine Tools, located at Gaiwadi Industrial Estate, Goregaon West, Mumbai,
manufactures the Reciprocating, Rotary, Double Disk and Special Purpose Grinding Machines.
Alex Grinders Pvt. Ltd., located at Shah Industrial Estate, Lonavala and Allied Industrial Products
located at Kamshet, manufactures spare parts and components for Alex Machine Tools. ALEX has
an in-house service division dedicated to installation and after sales service.

The Director, Mr. A. F. Lobo, together with an experienced team of Design, Quality and Marketing
Engineers, has made ALEX a leading force in the field of grinding technology. Today, ALEX enjoys a
clientele of blue chip companies in all major sectors of the Engineering Industry. Over 5000 ALEX
grinders are in successful operation in India as well as abroad. Countries abroad include U.S.,
Germany, U.K., Canada, Saudi Arabia, U.A.E., Oman, Kenya, Nigeria, SriLanka, Nepal,
Bangladesh, Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Australia and New Zealand. This has been
the result of a continued development in design,
quality, electronics and automation.

 ROTARY SURFACE
GRINDER WITH
HORIZONTAL SPINDLE (RH)
DESCRIPTION
This series features our well proven program of surface grinders with rotary
tables. These machines are particularly suitable for High Precision Surface
grinding of thin parts of high accuracy & Circular parts where one piece is to
be ground at a time flat or with a radial taper. Besides, in applications where
batches of small parts are to be ground with a high degree of parallelism &
high surface finish this type of machine is a better alternative to a
reciprocating machine as production time will be much less. This is because
the grinding wheel is in constant touch with the grinding pieces, the
operating speed of the work pieces is higher and the work pieces move
constantly in one direction only.

ROTARY

ROTARY SURFACE GRINDER WITH

VERTICAL SPINDLE (RV)
DESCRIPTION
This series is designed for flat grinding of one side of the job at a time for each table load.
+
Rotary work table operates on large, circular ways-well lubricated by means of an oil sump. It carries an
+
electro magnetic chuck with circular poles.
Access to work table is unique, in that a greater proportion of the work table is opened for easier and safer work
+
handling. Being a fixed centre table, the initial accuracies are maintained for the entire life of the machine.
Wheel Spindle Head is of extremely rigid construction, with precision bearings duly preloaded. Segmented
+
wheel is directly mounted at lower end.
Column has oversize vertical vee and flat ways fully protected from grinding dust and coolant by sliding steel
+
guards. Wheel feed can be applied by hand or power. Precision Screw gives positive down feed on the head
for accurately controlling small increments of feed.
CONTROLS as Optional:
+
Automatic electronic gauging can be provided. It gives continuous measurement of work during grinding cycle
and visual indications that the work is approaching size. When work reaches a preset dimension grinding
stops, the machine sparks out and the Head retracts. Since the job is directly probed, wheel wear is directly
compensated.
CNC controls for Vertical axis with servo drives via precision ball screw is also available as optional equipment.

DOUBLE DISK

DUPLEX GRINDER
WITH HORIZONTAL SPINDLE (DDH)
DESCRIPTION
This series uses powerful double disk grinding technology to simultaneously grind opposite and parallel
+
surfaces flat, at unbelievable rates of production.
Optimum loading systems to suit customer need.
+
Sturdy forged spindle supported by precision angular contact bearings provides accurate finishing even
+
under heavy duty loads.
Robust spindle drive design through a splined sleeve and precision belt transmission to eliminate spindle
+
deflection during grinding.
Accurate positioning of grinding wheels with zero backlash through a precision ball screw, anti friction slide
+
and digital control.
Vertical tilting and horizontal swivelling of the spindle is effected conveniently through screw mechanism.
+
Ample coolant supply via rotary union through two spindles.
+
Swing arm wheel dresser is hydraulically operated.
+
All controls within easy reach of operator.
+
Optional CNC controls for fully automatic grinding cycle including dressing and compensation.

FULLY AUTOMATIC DRESSING CYCLE INCLUDING

POSITIONING OF ABRASIVE DISKS TO GRIND LINE
The dresser is programmed to make a specific number of dressing passes and definate amount of
infeed per pass. Abrasive disks automatically infeed a preset increment at completion of each
dressing pass. Upon completion of the dressing cycle, both disks will automatically move to the
original grind line, compensating for the dressed abrasives. Dressing is initiated by operator
pressing “Dresser Start” button, or through the programmable control.
