Surface Grinding

AMI Machining uses a variety of precision grinding equipment to manufacture high-precision products. The process of grinding removes material from the workpiece by a powered abrasive wheel, belt, stone, paste, sheet, compound, or other agents. By precision grinding a metal part, we can achieve a mirror finish that helps expedite the polishing process. The most common form of grinding is surface grinding (produces perfectly flat and/or squared surfaces)

AMI Machining’s Surface Grinding Capabilities

• Large parts ground perfectly flat.
• Inquire about flatness for thinner parts
• Multiple parts at once
• Machine hardened or heat-treated material
• Tolerances of .0001″ achieved routinely through surface grinding
• Complex angled flats
• Typical Surface finish of .4 Ra μm.
• Maximum cutting size: 16″ x 24″
• Inquire for minimum workpiece sizes
• Inquire for maximum workpiece size
• Temperature controlled environment for superior accuracy

Benefits of Surface Grinding

• Simultaneous Grinding– Multiple parts that require the same thickness can be ground simultaneously, producing equally sized parts. Griding multiple parts at once reduces the cost to customers and creates a more uniform part.
• CNC GRINDING – For less critical parts, or parts that require significant material removal, we can program the grinder to take off the exact amount of material needed reducing operator machine time.
• Superior Consistency – During a cutting process, conventional cutting tools can wear down or even break, resulting in tiny inconsistencies in the final product. Surface grinding automatically dresses the wheel, using a diamond tip, essentially providing a brand new cutting tool resulting in tighter tolerances and better finishes.
