About Fine Grinding:

Fine grinding is a super finishing process performed by removing material from two surfaces of a component resulting in extremely precise geometric accuracy and surface finish. Typically, it is the last grinding step of a mechanical production chain utilized to improve and/or correct the geometry of parts coming from sintering, sawing, molding or similar operations. Depending on the application, the stock removal also can be taken from just one surface. The material removal is achieved through the use of special super-abrasive grinding wheels. These wheels made with diamond or CBN (cubic boron nitride), through their friction, accurately remove material with aggressive stock removal rates. The grit size, the bond and the concentration of super-abrasive are defined by our applications team to optimize your productivity. This high level of technology allows such machines to achieve the same quality as the conventional lapping process. Main advantages are the much higher production rates than that of lapping with minimal part cleaning required.
