Vertical double disc grinding for flat and parallel surfaces

Reliable vertical double disc grinding that offers high stock removal on large and small parts. Our flexible range of machines utilize a modular system that can be engineered to suit your production process.

MODULAR DESIGN FOR ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS

For superior rigidity, our line of vertical double disc grinding machines is built on a three-block cast iron box type framing structure. This ensures our VDD machines have exceptional stiffness and robustness. We offer both conventional and super abrasive grinding wheel (CBN & diamond) options. As a result, you get reduced cycle time, higher throughput and increased cost efficiency.

Gardner, Giustina or Daisho grinding machines will be proposed according to the standards in the specific geographical areas.

COATED BRAKE DISC GRINDING

Our expert engineers have developed new working parameters and wheel specifications using our current grinder product range that will meet the grinding requirements of the new dust-free composite coating material.
