Reasons Precision Grinding is the Best Method for Meeting Extremely Tight Tolerances

Precision grinding is a classification of grinding services that involves various grinding methods intended for the highest level of precision, accuracy, and quality possible. Industries like aerospace, automotive production, construction equipment, agricultural equipment, motion control, and manufacturing all rely on precision grinding services to produce some of the most vital parts and components with extremely tight tolerances. Here are some of the most common methods of precision grinding for producing a number of vital parts and components in these industries.

 

OD/ID Grinding

 

Outer dimensional and inner dimensional grinding is a technique used to remove small amounts of material from the interior or exterior wall of a cylindrical piece. This method is used for extreme measurement tolerances, where a precision fit is crucial to the safe and effective operation of a part, such as a cylinder for a car engine or a highly complex and small titanium piece for an aerospace application.

 

Centerless Grinding

 

Using a grinding wheel, regulating wheel, and work rest, centerless grinding is a popular method for finishing a variety of metal bars at large lengths. Using either a through-feed or in-feed technique, a metal part is fed in between the grinding wheel and regulating wheel, and adjusted by hand. This allows for exceptional precision grinding, and the ability to create a perfectly round finish without any defects.

 

Rotary Surface/Blanchard Grinding

 

If you have a large piece of flat magnetic or non-ferrous metal, Blanchard grinding is the best method for removing material from a flat plane. Also often referred to as “rotary surface grinding”, Blanchard grinding is perfect for a number of metals and alloys, including aluminum, bronze, steel, raw metal, stainless steel, cast iron, mold plate, and copper.
