“We grind to keep your business rolling”
Centerless grinding is a machining process that uses abrasive cutting to remove material from a workpiece. Centerless grinding differs from centered grinding operations in that no spindle or fixture is used to locate and secure the workpiece, which is secured between two rotary grinding wheels, and the speed of their rotation relative to each other determines the rate at which material is removed from the workpiece.
Thread rolling is a metal rolling process used extensively in manufacturing industry to produce screws, bolts and other fasteners. A common thread rolling process, used in industry to manufacture threaded parts, involves forming the threads into the metal of a blank by a pressing and rolling action between two die. The die surfaces hold the shape and the force of the action forms the threads into the material.
Cut threading involves severing the materials grain structure to produce threads. While rolled thread bolts offer some advantage over cut thread bolts in regards to strength and cost, cut threads can be manufactured to virtually all specifications, including larger diameter bolts.
Knurling is a process of impressing a diamond shaped or straight line pattern into the surface of a workpiece by using specially shaped hardened metal wheels to improve its appearance and to provide a better gripping surface.
