autogrind AG100

Is the first process-controlled knife grinding machine for professional sharpening of cutting knives for loading wagons and balers.

Sensor-controlled grinding pressure adjustment and emulsion cooling ensure highest grinding quality and life times for every knife.

The computer-controlled grinding process and intuitive touch screen operation ensure maximum ease of use and high operational safety.

autogrind AG100 cost-effectively ensures sharp knives and thus, highest crop quality, and saves valuable resources.

Suitable for all knivesSuitable for all arch-shaped loading wagons and round baler knives.

Using easy-to-replace stencils, the knives are precisely fixed in the correct position on the machine table.

By selecting the program corresponding to the respective stencil, the machine is automatically optimally adjusted to the knives to be sharpened.

• Suitable for all arch-shaped knives• Precise fixation through stencils• Optimized grinding programs for every knife type

Computer-controlled grinding processThe job computer of the autogrind AG100 assumes the actual grinding work for the operator.

Therefore, an optimum grinding result and high operational safety can be continuously achieved.

• Automatic grinding process• Continuously optimum grinding result• High operational safety

Sensor-controlled grinding pressure adjustmentThe patented, sensor-controlled grinding pressure adjustment of the autogrind AG100 ensures that the grinding pressure is automatically recorded and adjusted for every knife.

This way, height differences between new and already sharpened knives, unevenness on the knife edge or wearing of the grinding disk can be neglected.

Thus, unnecessary grinding time, material removal, and burr generation are minimized. This ensures maximum service life of the knives and keeps replacement costs at a minimum.

• Sensor-controlled grinding pressure adjustment• Automatic adjustment prior to every grinding process• Grinding time mini- mization• Avoids unnecessary material removal• Enables maximum service life of the knives

Emulsion coolingControlled emulsion-cooled grinding avoids unnecessary material removal and annealing of the cutting edge. This ensures as high as possible knife life times.

• Emulsion cooling avoids unnecessary material removal• Prevents annealing of cutting edges• Increases knife life time

Intuitive operationThe intuitive touch-screen control of the autogrind AG100 allows operation without extended training or computer knowledge.

The menu design accurately specifies the individual work steps for the operator. Respective set values for different knife radii are adjusted by the operator in the machine room. Once adjusted, the machine only needs to be started by pressing a button.

• Intuitive touch-screen control• Simple menu design

Easy to Use.

Even without Computer Knowledge!

High throughput rateThe innovative turntable allows inserting the next knife at the operator‘s side of the autogrind AG100 while the machine is sharpening.

This way, a high throughput of up to 120 knives per hour can be achieved.

• Cost efficiency due to high throughput• Saves time and effort• Reduced downtime of forage equipment

Safety and longevityThe full machine cover protects the operator and the surroundings of the machine from sparks and splash water. The cooling emulsion, an industrial drilling oil-water-mixture, protects machine components against rust deposits.

• High safety for the machine operator• Longevity due to corrosion (rust) protection• Full cover protects surroundings from dust and oil grinding mist

Knife sharpening as customer serviceAgricultural machinery workshops can extend their service portfolio.

Offer your customers a unique added value with professional grinding/sharpening services.

Simultaneous sharpening and loading of the autogrind AG100 keeps variable costs low and is thus an investment quickly paying off.

A Clean Affair. Full Cover Protects

Health and Environment.

Cost efficiencyBlunt or dull knives require more engine power and increase diesel fuel consumption of the machine by up to 15 %, in rocky areas even by 20 % or more. In addition, the machine throughput is significantly and thus, the harvesting capacity is reduced.

Thus, for contractors, who often use several loading wagons and balers with different knives, the invest-ment in an autogrind AG100 can quickly pay off.

• Quick amortization through diesel savings • Higher harvesting capacity due to sharp knives• Reduced wear of harvester machines components

Improved crop qualityBale density in silage and silage quality are in close correlation. High density improves crop quality and thus milk yield.

These effects are additionally amplified by the increasing number of knives per rotor in loading wagons and balers. Thus, professional sharpening of knives for harvesters is becoming more and more significant.

• Optimum crop quality due to sharp knives• Easiest bale cutting for feeding
