Burnishing Tools | GT-610 CNC
Challenge: To grind burnishing and expander rolls used in manufacturing tubes for a multitude of applications ranging from oil and gas tubes to automotive. Due to the shape of the parts which includes several tapers, the material removal is dramatic requiring several operations. Additionally the rolls are custom shapes so changeover between part types requires reshaping […]
Titanium & Steel Rods | GT-610
Challenge: Quality, cost control, and lead time issues of outsourcing the pre-sizing of titanium and steel bars. Solution A GT-610 machine equipped with a wide 8-5/8” super abrasive grinding wheel can efficiently pre-size titanium or steel bars to +/-0.0001” over the length of the material for use on Swiss turning machines or turning lathes where […]
Enhanced Throughput and Pinpoint Precision Elevate Form Grinding on Glebar’s New PG-912DG Enclosed Centerless Form Grinder
Glebar’s Applications Division conducts research and development of innovative cutoff and grinding technology. Their most recent focus was to innovate the existing design of our PG-9 series of Centerless Plunge Grinding Machines. The goal was to help customers reduce setup times, increase throughput, and maintain tighter tolerances. Current Process: Lathes and Hydraulic Form Grinders In […]
Form Grinding of Deodorant Balls | PG-9BHD
Challenge Manufacturers use lapping machines which are unable to hold consistent tolerances or capacity, creating inconsistent surface finishes and longer cycle times. Provide a form grinding solution for 1″ and 1.4″ deodorant balls while meeting the customer’s cycle time and surface finish requirements. Solution Solution: PG-9BHD Centerless Form Grinder Glebar developed ball grinding for the golf […]
Automated and CE Certified Form Grinder Reduces Scrap Rates | PG-9DHD
Current process: Legacy equipment did not meet current CE standards. The brittle shafts break in the grinder’s feeder increasing scrap rates. Challenges: Deliver an automated, turnkey process that can integrate with the customer’s existing isostatic press to accuractely handle and grind the parts. The process had to ensure the ceramic shafts would not chip or […]
Glass Rods | PG-9X20DHD
A top tier technical glass OEM required a precision grinding solution for quartz glass rod components which will be transformed into fiber optic cable cores. They needed to improve their existing process to increase output while maintaining a small footprint in their factory. Precision is paramount as the glass will ultimately need to transmit light […]
Filler Spouts | GT-610
Challenge: A food equipment manufacturer approached Glebar to improve productivity and reduce costs for their food filler machines. The metal spout requires grinding for several reasons. They come in contact with food, therefore requiring a smooth finish for sanitary purposes. The tubes are often exchanged on the machines to dispense various size pastries. Also, the mating […]
Circuit Board Drill Blanks | DD-7
Challenge: To end grind printed circuit board carbide drill blanks used by a major tool manufacturer to qualify the blank before fluting. The existing method relied on a batch process where parts were placed, a stack at a time, into a fixture and surface ground. Control over the length was highly dependent upon the setup of […]
Golf Ball Cores | PG-9DHD
Challenge: To mass produce golf ball cores at a low cost, while holding tight tolerances with maximum throughput. Solution Glebar designs and builds networked machines with the ability to gather production data. Inspection and conveyor systems designed for mass production have made our machines the standard method to fabricate golf balls. Note: Glebar is the only […]
