The unique FAM process, which requires no fixturing, clamping, or chuckling of parts, is also ideal for applications involving thin, or hard-to-hold parts, brittle materials, and parts sensitive to thermal distortion from heat built-up common to other types of machining. Maintaining wheel flatness without production loss The key to the operation of free-abrasive machining is the flatness of the FAM wheel. The parts will take a mirror image of the wheel surface. Positive geared flatness control of the machining plate is an exclusive, built-in feature on all machines. This control provides wheel flatness maintenance with no loss in productivity, even under long running cycles and full free-abrasive machining pressures FAM 24 / 32 / 48 / 64 - Technical Facts Model 24 Model 32 Plate Dia. 24" 32" [600mm] [800mm] Ring I.D. 9" 12" [229mm] [305mm] Total Ring Area 254 Sq.
