Tangential Surface Grinding of a Support Guide
Tangential surface grinding is a high-precision machining process, essential for achieving perfectly flat surfaces and extremely tight dimensional tolerances. This process is particularly suitable for components used in advanced mechanical applications, where surface quality, parallelism and long-term reliability are essential requirements.
In this context, the grinding of support guides requires specific expertise and strict control at every stage of production.
Technical Aspects of Tangential Surface Grinding
The tangential surface grinding of a support guide involves a high level of complexity. The component was machined with four sides ground square to one another, with a mutual tolerance of 0.01 mm, plus a fifth side inclined at 50°, onto which a carbide plate was subsequently bonded.
The material used is 18NiCrMo5, which is carburised and quenched. This requires particular care during the grinding stages to ensure dimensional accuracy and surface quality.
All components undergo rigorous inspection using a surface roughness tester and a coordinate measuring machine and are certified in accordance with internal quality-control procedures. To receive previews of upcoming OMGM Group content, subscribe to the YouTube channel and enable notifications.
