Industrial Grinding offers cutting-edge grinding and metalizing services to numerous demanding industries for repairing, maintaining, and overhauling machinery and equipment. Our primary grinding services include surface and Blanchard grinding, allowing us to service a wide range of machine parts and components, bringing them back to their original OEM dimensions.
What is Surface Grinding?
Surface grinding is one of the most common grinding methods available today. Our surface grinding services employ a rotating abrasive wheel to grind a part’s surface until it becomes smooth. The wheel will grind down on rough surfaces to remove irregularities, improving the surface finish by smoothing it down. Most of the time, it’s utilized in applications where a part requires a high surface finish or precise dimension.
At Industrial Grinding, surface grinding is used to repair and retrofit used and worn parts of machines and equipment. We can grind components until we accomplish accurate shapes and profiles, making them fit for use without replacing them entirely. It’s the most cost-effective option that will improve your bottom line since we work according to your specifications and requirements and there’s no need for expensive replacements.
What is Blanchard Grinding?
Blanchard grinding is a type of rotary surface grinding used to remove stock from one side of a part. These are well-suited for fine grinding, regrinding, or sharpening of a single-sided part and other grinding applications too large for double-disc grinding.
Apart from larger pieces, our Blanchard grinding services are also well-suited for the simultaneous grinding of multiple smaller pieces. More benefits of Blanchard grinding include:
- Heavy stock removal of magnetic and non-magnetic materials
- Consistent in terms of part-to-part thickness
- Can grind multiple parts for greater economy
- Versatility in terms of size
Applications of Our Surface and Blanchard Grinding Services
Our surface grinding services allow us to process a broad range of materials, such as low alloy steel, magnetic steel, tool steel, aluminum and some non-metallic materials. Regardless of their complexity, our years of experience and expertise in surface grinding give us the ability to handle many projects with precision efficiency.
Depending on the material type, we can precision-grind any part or component until we reach a surface finish of up to 16 micro finish. Our fully equipped state-of-the-art production plant lets us grind and refurbish lathe beds, radii, angles, and flats to original factory specifications.
More of our applications include:
- Burnouts and weldments
- Molds
- Die sets
- Bolster plates
- Lathe beds
- Fixture plates
- Shear blades
- Plate stock
- Forgings
- Valves
- Machine ways
- Bearings
- Gauges
These are achieved using our Okamoto surface grinder, which can process parts and components up to 160″ in length, 60″ in width, and 29.5″ in height. These machines are specially operated for small and large maintenance projects.
