The Appeal of Centerless Bar Grinding

Utilizing both the extrusion and rolling processes, bar grinding services work well with a number of lengths, dimensions, and types of metal barstock. Since there is such a wide range of applications for barstock, you can see these products fabricated for small and large drill rods or shafts. There are several benefits to choosing this grinding method. Here are some of the top examples.

 

Benefits of Centerless Bar Grinding

 

Centerless bar grinding may not be the only method used for grinding round barstock, but it offers the greatest levels of accuracy possible. While some industries may not be impacted by small measurement inaccuracies, companies involved in aerospace, military, and automotive parts production need exceptionally tight measurement tolerances—ideally around +/- 0.001”. The ceneterless grinding method is the most tried and true method for producing the best possible end product efficiently, and at scale.

 

As the name suggests, centerless grinding utilizes a grinding wheel, regulating wheel, and support blade to grind barstock without the need for centers to keep the bar in place. Having uniform pressure and application from two independently turning wheels helps aid in creating the smoothest finish possible, with uniform measurement tolerances. With highly abrasive metals used on the grinding wheel, you can achieve a precision finish with high levels of efficiency.

 

Outsourcing your bar grinding services through a trusted metal grinding service provider is the best way to guarantee your product comes out exact how you want it, within a set timeline. While doing the project in-house may be a slightly more affordable option up-front, any mistakes or fabrication delays could negatively impact your business more than the costs of outsourcing these services.
