These industries rely on our high precision bar materials to optimize the performance of their products. We also partner with contract manufacturers and material suppliers to augment their in-house capabilities, enabling them to increase the value they can offer to their customers.
Centerless grinding is a machining process that shapes a workpiece using two rotating wheels – one grinding, one regulating – without the need for a spindle or fixture. The wheels spin at different speeds to control the grinding action and material removal. With quick setup and no fixturing, it’s a fast, flexible method that allows for easy wheel changes to suit various grits and shapes.
Our team of professionals specialize in precision grinding your material to exceptionally close tolerances. We can perform coil-to-bar conversion services to convert inventory to a smaller diameter. We also offer value-added services, such as heat treating and straightening, as well as material testing and validation services. We can grind a wide range of materials including:
