Dunlop Aviation Braking Systems was looking to replace outdated machinery and to gearup the match grind cell of its brake system manufacturing module.
Read MoreHigher Quality, Reduced Defects Via Remanufactured Grinders
This off-highway vehicle manufacturer's grinders were difficult and time consuming to set up, and holding tight tolerances had increasingly become a 'hit or miss' proposition.
Read MoreFloating Plate Takes The Run . . . Out
Understanding the critical role of the grinding operation in the shop's manufacturing process, grinding machine makers continuously apply the best technical knowledge available to their machines. Often these are little innovations that help reduce the opportunities for inaccuracy to seep into the process. A typical example of such innovation is found in this manufacturer's line of grinding machine tools.

In-house custom tool grinding extends the reach of CNC machining.
Read MoreThe New Face Of Creep Feed Grinding
Creep feed grinding allows a hardened workpiece to be machined from the solid in a single pass, replacing milling, broaching or other types of grinding. Compact, more affordable creep feed grinding machines now make this process attractive in a wider range of applications.
Read MoreShop Adds CNC Grinding To Its Mix
Of all the metalworking processes, grinding is probably the most application specific. In a job shop environment, however, flexibility is the key to successful grinding. Here's a look at how one captive job shop successfully transitioned from manual to CNC grinding while standardizing its grinding process parameters to accommodate the demands of low volume, high mix production requirements.

Add ECD to the alphabet soup of metalworking abbreviations becauseelectrochemical dressing may indeed be coming to a superabrasive grinding machine near you.
Read MoreA Little Sizzle With That Steak
I was recently a guest of Studer Grinder Company at its manufacturing headquarters in Thun, Switzerland. Every couple of years, Studer invites its sales force and some selected customers and guests to see what's new with Studer grinders.
Read MoreCylindrical Grinding Machine Provides Solutions To Accuracy And Production
Jeff and Gary Caron of Caron Precision, Inc. know grinding. They know grinding so well that their business is strictly grinding--no other machining at all. But not even the Carons ever thought they would invest in a cylindrical grinding machine to facilitate a single application.
