Types of Parts Processed
With our Flat Grinding, Lapping and Polishing services we can process most magnetic and non-magnetic materials. This includes hardened and unhardened steels, stainless steels, powdered metals, various alloys, copper, brass, aluminum, plastics, ceramics and carbides. Final thickness, flatness, parallelism and surface roughness on small and production lot sizes can be accurately and efficiently processed by our experienced staff and our diverse processing options.
Some examples of parts processed include shims, spacers, plates and gears ground in production quantities for the automotive and other industries, precision tolerance parts for various types of pumps, laser or water jet cut parts of odd shapes, parts made of special alloys and various parts for applications requiring an improved surface finish for cosmetics and/or flatness for sealing. This is just a small example of parts we can process for final thickness, flatness, parallelism and surface roughness needs.
In Cryogenic Deflashing we process a large variety of plastic and rubber parts to reduce or remove mold parting line flash on parts including O-rings and a host of other plastic injected and rubber molded parts. In some cases, we will cryogenically deburr plastics parts that have been ground by us or ground or machined by others.
