Frequently Asked Questions – Shear & Industrial Blade Grinding

What is the FX20/FX40 used for as a shear blade sharpening machine?

The MVM FX20 and FX40 operate as heavy-duty shear blade sharpening machines designed for long, oversize industrial shear and guillotine blades. Their reinforced base, magnetic chuck options and Siemens PLC control ensure consistent geometry and premium surface finish along the full blade length.

Can the FX20/FX40 sharpen large industrial blades?

Yes — the FX series is built specifically for industrial blade grinding. It can surface-grind or hollow-grind long straight knives used in metal processing, paper and packaging, timber milling and recycling operations. Grinding lengths up to 7.1 m make it suitable for continuous, high-volume production environments.

What makes the FX series suitable for industrial blade grinding applications?

The FX platform includes high-power grinding motors (15–45 kW), a vibration-free carriage, PLC-controlled grinding cycles, and optional fine-polarity magnetic chucks. These features give operators full control over finishing, spark-out, and surface quality, even on heavy or thin industrial blades.

Does the FX20/FX40 support both surface grinding and hollow grinding?

Yes. The tilting grinding head allows operators to switch between flat (surface) grinding and hollow grinding. This makes the FX series suitable for producing a precise cutting angle on shear blades, guillotine blades and other industrial straight knives.

What industries use the FX20/FX40 industrial blade grinding machine?

The FX series is widely used in metal fabrication, paper and packaging plants, wood processing mills, recycling facilities, and by industrial sharpening companies. Any operation requiring accurate, repeatable sharpening of long straight blades benefits from the FX20/FX40.
