20°C Dust-Free Grinding Shop

All precision grinding services are performed in our climate-controlled facility, which is maintained at 68°F (approximately 19°C) year-round, ensuring the highest standards of accuracy and uniform processing results for large or small batches. When parts are ground to tolerances as high as ±0.001mm (+/-0.00005 inches), even slight changes in the environment can affect the grinding process. To ensure consistency and precise measurement of all ground parts, the shop temperature must be maintained at 20 degrees Celsius, with constant humidity and temperature. Elimold’s precision grinding services are performed in clean rooms equipped with temperature-controlled facilities. After grinding, our machinists will measure and inspect the parts using advanced coordinate measuring machines (CMM) to ensure that the parts meet your precise specifications. Our advanced quality assurance procedures are strictly enforced on all jobs, ensuring that our precision grinding services can provide reliable, repeatable results that always meet customer specifications.

24/7 Operation

Our precision grinding shop can operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, requiring only scheduled maintenance.

Alternatives to Precision Grinding

For some parts, precision grinding may not be the ideal choice. Elimold offers several alternatives to precision grinding. These are listed and described below:

Reaming

Reaming

Reaming is a process that uses a milling machine or drill to enlarge an existing hole, smooth the inside surface, and obtain a precise dimension. Reaming can achieve tolerances similar to precision grinding, with an accuracy of +0.0002 inches. Although reaming can achieve lower tolerances, it is only used for internal machining.
Grooving

Grooving

In some cases, it is necessary to machine grooves into the workpiece. These grooves are usually cut in a hard material such as tungsten carbide. Grooving requires very tight tolerances. Some industries and applications that may use the groove process include pumps and valves, hydraulic systems, and pulp and paper.
Burnishing Polising

Burnishing / Polising

Polishing uses abrasives to smooth the surface of the workpiece, grinding rough parts to a finish of Ra 2 or better. Our polishing process can handle parts up to 23.5 inches in length and between 0.25 inches and 1.25 inches in diameter.
JournalInfeed Grinding

Journal/Infeed Grinding

Infeed grinding is similar to cylindrical grinding. However, instead of rotating the workpiece about a fixed axis, it remains stationary and the precision grinding tool is fed along the workpiece to a specified depth at a precise location.
Through feed Bar Grinding

Through-feed/Bar Grinding

Through-feed grinding is an efficient and simple process that produces a high-quality surface finish. The workpiece is pushed between two grinding wheels (a grinding wheel and a smaller regulating wheel) which grind the workpiece to the specified size and surface finish.
Lapping

Lapping

Lapping is a finishing process that uses an abrasive slurry to remove small amounts of material and create precise dimensions on a workpiece. Lapping can achieve dimensional accuracy up to 0.00002 inches (0.5 microns). While precise dimensions can be achieved, the surface quality after grinding is not always uniform.
