What the maker publishes about the current Blanchard 36HD-66
Under the Blanchard name, the 36HD-66 pairs a 36 inch grinding wheel with a 66 inch magnetic chuck in a rotary surface grinder whose largest swing is 84 inches. Its rating for load is 10,000 lbs. The wheel may be a solid one or a ring of segments. Grinding power is 100 HP in the base specification, and more spindle horsepower can be ordered. Along X the carriage moves 24 inches. The head clears 24 inches over the chuck as standard, or 36 or 48 inches when the optional taller range is chosen. Chuck speed adjusts between 5.6 and 20.1 RPM. Net weight comes to roughly 45,000 lbs. Machines that Bourn & Koch makes now drive both the carriage and the head with servo motors and encoder feedback.
