Bar Stock Grinding in Lansing MI
Study Grinding offers a great deal of defect-free bar grinding experience. Our equipment can grind bars and tubes as large as 11" in diameter and as long as 40' in virtually any sort of metal used in modern manufacturing. In addition, we can supply heat treated rolls and shafting.
Similar, to through-feed grinding, bar grinding is a type of centerless grinding in which the bar passes through the machine. The bar rests on a fixed blade which is spun by a regulating wheel. While that's going on, an abrasive wheel grinds the work piece. Long bars ground in this fashion are supported by rollers on both ends of the machine.
CNC Grinding
Sturdy Grinding routinely performs multi-diameter work with tight geometric requirements. we're capable of holding cylindricity, concentricity, run out, size, length, grind lead, and surface finish requirements. We measure these requirements with accuracy ranging within millionths of an inch.
OD grinding is a type of grinding in which the part is suspended by centers. A driver spins the part and a grinding wheel comes forward to machine the work piece. A large portion of today's automotive drive and shafting components are ground this way. Sturdy Grinding has some of the leading CNC OD grinders and inspection equipment to fill both high and low volume OD grinding orders.
