Kodak OAGM 2500 Off Axis Grinding Machine

Kodak OAGM 2500 - Off Axis Grinding Machine
The Kodak OAGM 2500 Off Axis Grinding Machine is a classic example of a special purpose machine.


This machine was built in a specially made facility in the UK for proving and acceptance testing before being shipped to the USA.




Machine concept


The initial concept of the OAGM 2500 machine shows how Cranfield Precision take a manufacturing problem, create a concept and a design and then turn it into a special purpose machine tool.

Machine Assembly


Assembly of the large machine structure shows the symmetry and nature of the stiff repeatable structure.

Ensuring the surfaces are correctly formed and alignments are correct is a key part of the highly skilled assembly process.



Mirror Segment Inspection





Technicians inspect the mirror segments that are manufactured in a controlled facility on the OAGM 2500 in Kodak's production facility.

  3. Precision grinding is a manufacturing process used in the finishing and fabrication of metal parts with tight tolerances. 
    Precision grinding is used in numerous products of different sizes, large or small; the procedure is highly meticulous and ensures individual specifications. This is imperative forindustries that have a minimal margin of error for items like scientific equipment and medical devices.
    So, if you’re in the market for CNC milling machines, CMM, or grinders,MD Design & Automation, Wisconsin, has all the machines you need.
