Centerless Grinding
We have four machines for diameters ranging from .030" up to 8" Lengths of over 300" can be accommodated on our largest #3 Cincinnati. Long considered the most productive method for heavy stock removal, centerless grinding provides close tolerances and surface finishes.
The varieties of part groups are extensive and include the following:
barstock
shafting and light rolls
pins
sleeves
bushings
small diameters
pipe and tubing
Consider centerless grinding for pre-sizing your barstock prior to chucker operations or screw machine parts production. Many companies use us to hold size on cold finished rounds to fit pillow block bearings
We can grind the entire length of an outside diameter or "plunge grind" a step down to a smaller diameter in one-third the time required by cylindrical grinding methods on the following materials:
carbon steel and stainless steel
aluminum and its alloys
copper and its alloys
brass and its alloys
tungsten
plastics, though not all are grindable
glass and quartz
cast iron
titanium
