Using Blanchard Grinding In Virginia

Using Blanchard Grinding In Virginia

By Chelsea Evans


Blanchard grinding in Virginia refers to a specific process used to grind metals or other types of material as finishing or to adjust the size of a part. It removes stock from one side of the part being subjected to the process. This particular process and the machine used for it was invented by a company carrying the same name. Technically speaking the process can be called a rotary surface grind. Due to the high level of control, this operation is ideal in production of several identical copies of a particular part.

There is a magnetic chuck which holds the particular part or material in place so ferrous materials are ideal for the job. Some non-ferrous things may also be used but will entail more complex setting up resulting to increased expense and lesser production numbers. The process can even be used for plastics. This process may also be done to several types of both soft and hard metals like titanium, stainless steel, aluminum, or brass, to name a few.

This particular type of process gives the material that is being grinded a very specific and unique finish. This is due to the nature of the operation and the movement of the tools across the surface. This type of operation is ideal for surfaces that are too large for disc grinders. It is the preferred process used on rotary tables, die blocks, plate stock, and vacuum chambers.

More horsepower is used by the machine in this operation as compared to others. This makes the process faster and more powerful. The added speed allows the machine to grind more of the surface and thus results to finishing faster. Further making use of this machine faster is the fact that it can accommodate more parts at the same time.

The machine works by having a grind head attached to a vertical axle that moves against the direction of the chucks rotation. This results to a surface finish quite unique to this process which is very even. Control over surface flatness and thickness of grind results to consistency of the result.

When using this process and machine, the surface being subjected to the grind must be relatively smooth. It must not have any major protrusions. Any major protrusions may cause damage to the material as well as the machine.

The consistency of finish using this machine is very high. With so much control, finishing and other concerns can be achieved even with high production volume. This is why this proves is ideal when the number of parts to be produced identically is numerous. Add to this the advantage of being able to do the production faster.

The most ideal way to produce parts that are identical in high volumes rapidly and dependably would be by using Blanchard grinding in Virginia. It is the most efficient and is highly reliable when it comes to cost and consistency. It will avoid the need to refinish and will lessen the chances of the part malfunctioning once in use.
