choices, an optional wheel changer, more spindle power and more options. Easy-to-change coolant manifolds, which can be set up off the machine to suit each wheel pack, also reduce
preparation time to a minimum.
Flexibility and speed The single direct-drive bi-directional spindle — with wheel packs at
both ends of the spindle — enables up to eight wheels to be used
The GX7 is small and compact yet has a large working envelope making it suitable
in one set-up. The design of the spindle gives unrestricted access
for a wide range of tool types, geometries and shapes. The GX7 has both the

flexibility and speed to tackle a wide range of cutting and drilling tools in one
set-up. It is as productive on single-tool jobs as it is on batches of tools of
different types and geometry.
The industry has high demands with regards to accuracy, machine reliability
and efficiency. ANCA’s GX7 meets these expectations and sets new standards
for a CNC tool grinder.
Software
The GX7 standard ToolRoom software suite supports grinding
endmills, standard drills and step tools. Other software
options create possibilities to grind a wide range of other
