The company I work for has recently received large contracts to produce some stainless shafts. When we got the work, we also bought their old Cincinnati centerless grinder. My boss is kind of a clean freak and does not want the mess associated with the grinder in our shop and is looking to put the machine outside under a lean to. I am against this. Can anyone recommend a CNC controlled centerless grinder that is easy to use. Something that our operator can just walk up, pull up a program and hit go. I want the machine to handle wheel dressing, gauging and adjustments. This is 2017, there has to be something out there that is fully enclosed and does not make a huge mess. Any help you can offer, will be greatly appreciated.
 
You did not specify diameter or length or if stepped shaft or quantity or quality or what your price range is.
Or maybe a picture of the part.
Hard to make a recommendation.

Need more info like Lost in LA said. I love centerless grinders and I have a ton of links for you if you give us more info. They have to be the most misunderstood machine out there. Good luck

I'm really sorry for the lack of info. all the shafts will be straight ranging in size from .375" up to 1.00". They will be as short as 2.00" and as long as 12.00". There has to be something that is fully enclosed. I know they grind medical parts and I have seen pictures of really clean places doing it. I just need to find out what is available. All of your help is greatly appreciated.
 
What kind of price? High end machines. We are talking $250,000-500,000. Here are my favorite machine.

I have a Monza I bought in 1997 and has been a very good machine. The price is in the High $100000 I think.
