Capabilities

The Fortuna AFB500 AS is a classic cylindrical grinding machine designed for precision metalworking. It grinds cylindrical shafts and components up to 500mm in length and 270mm in diameter, making it ideal for producing accurate, smooth finished surfaces on steel parts, bearings, and drive shafts. The 400mm grinding wheel and 135mm center height provide the precision needed for tight tolerances.

Industries & Uses

Manufacturers in automotive, tool-making, mechanical engineering, and bearing production rely on cylindrical grinders like this for high-volume production runs and custom work. Small machine shops and contract manufacturers also use them regularly for one-off jobs requiring exact dimensions. This is a workhorse machine for any operation handling metal shafts, pins, or cylindrical components.

What to Check When Buying

When inspecting a 1955 machine, ask for maintenance records and check the spindle for runout and smooth operation—this directly affects grinding accuracy. Examine the grinding wheel condition and the chuck for wear. Listen for unusual noises during a test run, and verify that the coolant system functions properly. Original machines of this age often need spindle bearings serviced or replaced. Confirm the electrical system matches your facility's power supply.
