At Universal Grinding, we know that efficiency and precision are essential to our clients’ success, especially when it comes to heavy stock removal. That’s why our Blanchard Grinding (Rotary Grinding) services are designed to deliver rapid, consistent, and accurate results across a wide range of applications. Blanchard grinding is a trusted process for efficiently removing large amounts of stock, particularly for magnetic materials that need precise dimensional accuracy and a high-quality finish.
Why Choose Blanchard Grinding for Your Project?
Blanchard grinding, or rotary surface grinding, is highly effective for achieving a uniform, flat finish and dimensional accuracy on both large and small parts. Our machines can handle parts as large as 60” x 72”, allowing us to manage jobs of almost any size, from large plates to smaller washers and rings. This capability is particularly advantageous when dealing with large or oddly shaped parts that are difficult to handle with traditional grinding methods. The distinctive cross-hatched pattern that Blanchard grinding leaves on surfaces not only enhances visual appeal but also creates a texture that helps in bonding and further processing.
Achieving Precision with Efficiency
Blanchard grinding is not just about heavy stock removal; it’s also a highly precise process. Our team can achieve tolerances within ±0.001” for flatness, parallelism, and dimensional accuracy. This level of precision is critical for applications that require parts to be uniform and consistent across large runs, such as in the aerospace, automotive, and heavy equipment industries. By employing significantly greater horsepower than conventional grinding methods, Blanchard grinding allows us to achieve these results faster, helping you save time without compromising on quality.
Versatile Capabilities for Various Materials
While Blanchard grinding is particularly suited for magnetic materials, we also handle non-ferrous parts, though these require slightly lower production rates. Our equipment is versatile enough to provide exceptional finishes on materials that might otherwise be challenging to grind with conventional techniques. The process achieves surface finishes typically in the 32-125 RMS range, though our experienced operators can achieve finer finishes depending on your specific requirements.
At Universal Grinding, our goal is to deliver a high level of quality, accuracy, and efficiency through our Blanchard grinding services. Whether you’re working with heavy steel plates, aluminum parts, or non-ferrous materials, we are here to ensure that every component meets your specifications.
