The Okamoto PSG CAiQ Series is a CNC surface grinder developed for precision grinding of larger workpieces. Its column-type configuration provides the working capacity and stability required for demanding grinding applications while maintaining operator access for setup and part handling. A heavy-duty cast machine bed and column feed system support controlled machine movement, helping maintain accuracy and consistency across larger components.
The PSG CAiQ Series combines CNC control with Okamoto’s iQ software to simplify machine setup and grinding operations. A 15-inch touchscreen uses a text-free interface to guide operators through the grinding process, reducing the complexity of programming different applications. This control platform provides a more accessible approach to CNC grinding while maintaining the process control required for precision production.
For applications requiring additional process monitoring, the PSG CAiQ can be equipped with optional in-process measurement for real-time dimensional checks during grinding. Compatibility with MAP grinding software provides additional control over grinding parameters for different applications. An available automatic wheel balancing system also helps control vibration and maintain consistent grinding performance. These capabilities make the PSG CAiQ a precision surface grinding machine for manufacturers handling complex parts and demanding production requirements.

For shops evaluating operator-focused grinding of larger workpieces with iQ control and reduced hydraulic-oil demand, the Okamoto PSG CAiQ Series provides a CNC column-type precision surface grinder platform. The application should be sized from the finished feature requirements first, then checked against wheel reach, stock removal, dressing, coolant, and workholding constraints. As an authorized Okamoto distributor, A.W. Miller supports manufacturers across New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, Southern New Jersey, and Quebec with machine selection, process engineering, installation, training, and factory-certified service.
Process development on the PSG CAiQ Series should account for how the wheel changes from roughing through finishing. Stock distribution, dress compensation, spark-out, thermal stability, workholding stiffness, and measurement strategy all affect whether the required geometry can be repeated in production.
Parts and processes commonly evaluated for the Okamoto PSG CAiQ Series include:
The machine layout emphasizes loading, setup, and operator access around larger components.
Okamoto’s iQ software uses an intuitive control approach intended to simplify cycle creation and machine operation.
The PSG CAiQ design reduces oil use compared with conventional designs while retaining the motion needed for large-workpiece grinding.
CNC control supports consistent grinding sequences for jobs where stock, finish, and spark-out need to be managed predictably.
Its design emphasizes workability and operator access for larger components while providing CNC-controlled surface-grinding cycles.
Okamoto describes the iQ software as an intuitive, text-free interface intended to make setup and operation easier across different operator experience levels.
Yes. Okamoto states that the design reduces oil consumption by 50 percent compared with its conventional approach.
Workpiece size and mass, stock allowance, flatness, parallelism, finish, material, chucking, dressing, and coolant requirements should all be defined.
Yes. CNC-controlled cycles are particularly useful where the same grinding sequence, dressing strategy, and finish requirement must be repeated across a part family.
