Detailed Technical Data Sheet: Lapidello VAM 400

General Description
The Lapidello VAM 400 is a machine tool used for grinding flat surfaces. It is equipped with a hydraulic circuit for movement and a refrigeration system to avoid overheating during processing. This model uses a cup wheel with a diameter of 200 mm and has a maximum processing capacity of 400 mm.

Main Components

• Cup wheel: Diameter 200 mm.
• Worktop: Diameter 400 mm, often magnetic.
• Asynchronous electric motor: Variable power depending on the model.
• Hydraulic circuit: Manages the machine's movements.
• Refrigeration system: Keeps operating temperatures low.

Dimensions and Weight

• Dimensions: Approximately 700x900x1800 mm.
• Weight: Approximately 1000 kg.

Mechanical Characteristics

• Rotation speed: Variable to adapt to the type of material and processing.
• Machining precision: High, suitable for surfaces requiring tight tolerances.
• Advancement system: Automatic with reversal, improving processing efficiency.

Formulas for Optimal Use Parameters

• Cutting speed (Vc): $V$
  • n = rotation speed (rpm)
  • D = grinding wheel diameter (mm)
• Feed per revolution (f): Determined by the required precision and the hardness of the material being machined.

Workable Materials
The Lapidello VAM 400 is suitable for grinding metallic materials, mainly steels, cast irons and hard alloys, but can also process less hard materials with adequate adjustments.

Maintenance

• Lubrication: Regular hydraulic circuit.
• Checking the wheel: Check the wear of the wheel and replace it if necessary.
• Refrigeration system: Monitor the coolant level and replace it periodically.

How to Evaluate a Good Used Car

• Condition of the grinding wheel: Check that it is not worn or damaged.
• Functionality of the hydraulic circuit: Make sure there are no leaks.
• Engine conditions: Check the absence of abnormal noises and the regularity of the speed.

Sectors of Use

• Automotive: For grinding mechanical components.
• Mechanical industry: For precision on flat surfaces of tools and components.
• Aerospace: Where extremely tight tolerances are required.

Why It Is Better to Buy Used
Buying a used VAM 400 Lapidello allows you to access a high precision machine at a lower cost than a new one, while still maintaining high standards of operational quality, especially if the machine has been well maintained.
