Robbi Crankshaft Grinders For Sale

Stop farming out your margins. Bring precision crankshaft grinding in-house with the Robbi REX series. We offer world-class Italian iron backed by Atlanta-based support—so you can take absolute control over the work.

Why Farm Out Your Profits? The ROI of In-House Crankshaft Grinding

Every time you send a heavy diesel or automotive crankshaft out the door, you’re losing margin and handing over your timeline to someone else. The Robbi REX series of crankshaft grinders are built to be shop-floor workhorses. They pay for themselves by giving you the industrial grinding power to handle engine rebuilding and refurbishment directly under your own roof. Don't wait 12 months for a machine build—ask about our showroom-ready inventory and our capital equipment financing options.

Our Crankshaft grinders by Robbi are used for grinding journals and crank pins to remove material and refurbish this vital engine part and expensive-to-replace unit. Usually done when rebuilding an engine, crankshaft grinding also improves engine performance.

bring crankshaft grinding inhouse

In every high-functioning engine is a finely crafted crankshaft. Through the connecting rods, the crankshaft transfers power from the piston movement from linear to rotational. This harnessed power is used by most conventional cars, diesel marine engines, locomotive internal combustion engines, large compressors, and other heavy-duty machinery.

Our crankshaft grinders are suitable for single-piece runs and for production lots.

Engineered for the Machinist: Inside the Robbi REX Series

Robbi offers a line of crankshaft grinders that includes their heavy-duty industrial line. These machines are designed for high accuracy and efficient operations using workheads with 4-way cross-slides and an advanced locking system for quick crankshaft centering.

With lifetime superior accuracy and dependability, these one-piece cast iron constructed machines also deliver various configurable options to make the machine tool work best for how you need it.

  • Heavy-Duty One-Piece Cast Iron Bed: Gives you vibration-free, lifetime dependability—because precision starts with the foundation.

  • 4-Way Cross Slides: Features an advanced locking system that permits incredibly fast, accurate centering of the crankshaft. Less setup time means more chips flying.

  • Rapid Hydraulic Controls: Hydraulic wheelhead traverse and table movement speed up your setup, while fine-feed controls guarantee sub-micron accuracy.

  • Simplified Clamping: You only need two keys for all shifting, centering, and clamping operations. Switch easily from indexed chucks (featuring 360° rotation) to centers.

  • Frictionless Wheelhead: Slideways are coated with anti-friction material, and the hardened steel spindle runs in a fully adjustable, oil-bathed precision sleeve bearing.

Big Iron for Big Jobs: The REX Industrial Line

Think we only deal in standard automotive? Think again. The Robbi REX line scales all the way up to the REX 3100, REX 4000, and the massive REX 6000 for heavy infrastructure, locomotive, and power generation shafts. If you're cutting large-diameter, multi-ton crankshafts, we don't just sell you the machine. We handle the logistical nightmare of the install, ensuring your infrastructure is ready for the workload.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the primary benefits of using Robbi Rex crankshaft grinders?

These machines utilize a heavy-duty, one-piece cast iron construction to ensure lifetime accuracy and dependability. Efficiency is maximized through work heads featuring 4-way cross slides and an advanced locking system, allowing for rapid and precise crankshaft centering. Additionally, anti-friction sideways and oil-bathed precision bearings minimize mechanical wear.

Which crankshaft models are available for industrial and semi-automatic operations?

The product line ranges from the compact Rex 1200 to the large-scale Rex 6000. While the standard series includes models like the Rex 1500 and 1800, the industrial models, specifically the Rex 2700 and Rex 3100, can be configured as semi-automatic versions featuring Siemens touch screen control panels for intuitive programming.

What is the maximum workpiece capacity for the Robbi Rex series?

Capacity varies significantly across the range to accommodate different engine sizes. The distance between centers starts at 1320 mm for the Rex 1200 and extends up to 6000 mm for the Rex 6000. Grinding diameters range from 180 mm on smaller units to 500 mm on heavy-duty industrial models.

What standard equipment is included with a Robbi Rex grinding machine?

Each machine is supplied with a comprehensive kit for immediate operation, including two self-centering chucks, a cooling installation with a tank, and a set of steel splash guards. Essential precision tools are also provided, such as a V-square for centering crankpins, an eccentricity control device, and a wheel balancing mandrel.

How does the semi-automatic system improve the grinding process?

The semi-automatic versions utilize a Siemens TP 700 operator panel to program plunge and pass rectification cycles parametrically. The system includes automatic stop functionality at programmed quotas and grinding wheel dressing with automatic compensation. Optional direct-reading systems allow for real-time work quota monitoring and progress control via in-process measuring devices.

What customization and support services does Ecotech Machine Tool provide?

We specialize in tailor-made solutions, offering initial consultancy to optimize the machine for specific production processes. Support includes tailored operational and maintenance training, a dedicated spare parts program for both current and older models, and teleassistance for CNC machines to provide real-time programming support and troubleshooting.
