diverse precision grinding applications

OPTICAL

Our range of Cranfield Precision machines meet the requirements of advanced ultra-precision machining applications around the world. This includes the highest quality optical film, semiconductor wafer lithography and mirrors for space telescopes.

MOULDS AND DIES

The specifications for moulds and dies vary widely; therefore high flexibility is important in the grinding process. Our Bryant TTG machine is highly flexible and can be engineered to meet your specific manufacturing needs. This machine can grind any type of mould or die, made from any material.

MAGNETS

To avoid chipping and cracking in the magnet grinding process, you need a solid machine that will not flex. Our range of robust surface grinding machines offer exceptional stiffness, ensure sub-micron precision and optimized quality. For more complex forms, our Bryant TTG ID/OD grinding machine offers high flexibility with various spindle configurations.

FINEBLANKING

Our single and double disc surface grinding machines can be used for the precision grinding of any flat metal part that has been stamped and cut. With unrivaled stiffness and integrated flexibility, our technology can grind metal consumer goods, vehicle parts, knives and piston rings.

CYLINDER HEADS

Although cylinder heads are usually milled, there are specific applications where they need to be ground. Our specialized surface grinding machines have the ability to grind the faces of a cylinder head with high efficiency and micron-specific precision.

PUMPS AND COMPRESSORS

Our range of Landis cylindrical and orbital machines are expertly engineered to provide highly accurate, reliable, flexible and productive grinding solutions. These machines can grind a wide variety of parts and sizes or material.

TURBOSHAFTS

The veins on a turbo shaft can be very difficult to grind, but we have the machinery to do it. Our Bryant TTG machine is an OD grinding solution that combines flexibility with consistency and precision in a compact footprint. Alternatively, our Landis 3LVe is a cylindrical grinding solution that combines flexibility with unrivalled quality and low-cost cycle times.

UNIQUE MATERIALS AND COATINGS

Tough materials and coatings are becoming increasingly common, especially in heavy industry. These materials and coated products are harder to grind and require an exceptionally solid grinding process. Designed with unprecedented stiffness, our grinding machines are able to withstand very high grinding forces, making them ideal for this purpose. We can process any metallic or composite material, whether it’s coated or uncoated.
