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 the outside diameter of the material has to be prequalified. Rather than outsource grinding, this space-saving machine can achieve the same result while controlling quality and reducing cost and lead time.
