Centerless grinding is an incredibly efficient process, used to create high-volume orders without sacrificing accuracy. Unlike traditional grinding methods, which require the product to be affixed to a central spindle, centerless grinding relies on pressure to keep the object in place, eliminating imperfections that can be caused by an uneven fixture. Businesses in a variety of industries rely on this proven method for any product that must be produced quickly and as accurately as possible.

When Centerless Grinding Is the Best Choice

Faster Production

Manufacturing delays of vital components can make your entire system less efficient, decreasing productivity and costing you money. Centerless grinding is much faster than other processes, since technicians do not have to spend time affixing parts to spindles or adjusting objects. In fact, many centerless grinding machines allow for automatic feed-through of longer parts, resulting in even faster processing times.

Increased Accuracy

Traditional spindle grinding can produce round parts to a high degree of accuracy, but several variables can result in minor imperfections that make it unsuitable for some applications. For businesses in aeronautics, robotics, or other industries which require perfectly round parts, centerless grinding is the best option. Because the machines use uniform pressure to hold the part in place, centerless grinding can create perfectly round parts, with the best, most consistent results in metalworking.
