STUDER’s favorit 650 with versaLoad


The favorit 650 CNC universal cylindrical grinding machine has a distance between centers of 400mm (15.7") / 650mm (25.6") / 1,000mm (40") / 1,600mm (63") and a center height of 175mm (6.9"). It can machine workpieces with a maximum weight of 150kg (330lb).

The cylindrical grinding machine can be used in universal applications, and thanks to StuderPictogramming it’s easy and quick to program. The Granitan S103 mineral-casting machine base largely offsets short-term temperature fluctuations. It can subsequently be easily adapted to other grinding tasks using various accessory kits such as in-process gauging, balancing system, contact detection and length positioning.

Available with versaLoad automation, the versaLoad collaborative robot was designed to integrate with many components and processes on the shop floor. It can enhance return on investment (ROI) by reducing labor costs on repetitive tasks and allowing operators to be assigned more profitable duties. Throughput will go up and cycle times down. Quality will also get a boost via the system’s repeatable precision. For flexibility, the versaLoad is easily movable from machine to machine with a pallet jack. The system is also simple to use; users can quickly teach positions and perform changeovers.
