Bernardo Flat Grinder FSM 2040

Bernardo FSM 2040 Surface Grinder

The Bernardo FSM 2040 Surface Grinder is a professional machine designed for grinding flat surfaces of small components, ideal for machine shops and precision departments. Made with professional-grade components, such as hardened and ground guides, it ensures smooth and vibration-free movement. The longitudinal table is equipped with polished linear guides, while the transverse movement occurs on double V-guides for maximum stability. It comes standard with a 2-axis digital readout, a 200 x 400 mm permanent magnetic chuck, and a centralized lubrication system for the guides. The Ø 200 mm grinding wheel, powered by a 1.5 kW motor, reaches 2800 rpm, ensuring high-precision finishes. Complete with a demagnetizer, coolant device, and accessories, it represents a reliable and efficient solution for quick and precise grinding.

Frequently Asked Questions

What grinding precision can be achieved with the Bernardo FSM 2 Surface Grinder?

Bernardo surface grinders achieve dimensional tolerances of IT5–IT6 and roughness Ra 0.4–0.8 µm under optimal conditions. The actual precision depends on the condition of the grinding wheel (periodic dressing), the workpiece material, the coolant, and the operator's experience.

What does the "PLC" suffix in the Bernardo FSM 2 Surface Grinder model mean?

The PLC suffix indicates that the grinder is equipped with a programmable PLC control – it allows setting automatic grinding cycles (number of passes, depth per pass, feed) without manual intervention during the cycle. Compared to the manual version, it reduces cycle times and produces more repeatable results on batches of identical parts.

What abrasive wheel should be used for steel vs. cast iron vs. aluminum?

Steel: Alumina (Al₂O₃) wheel A46K–A60K. Cast iron: Silicon carbide (SiC) wheel C46K–C60K. Aluminum: Silicon carbide C46J–C60J wheel with abundant lubrication. Do not mix different materials on the same wheel – metal residues contaminate the ground surface.

Does the Bernardo FSM 2 Surface Grinder require integrated coolant?

Bernardo BSG and FSM surface grinders are equipped with an integrated cooling system – essential for precision grinding on hardened steel to avoid surface burns that alter the material's structure. Always use the appropriate type of coolant for the material being processed.

Are spare parts and grinding wheels available?

Original spare parts available with 3–5 working days shipping. Customer support available in Italian.
