Question: On Blanchard grinding what is the typical flatness that is held when grinding?
Answer: Flatness is determined on the application of the plate that is being ground. The flatter a plate is held during grinding usually adds to the cost of a plate. If a customer is not sure what they need but know they want a plate flat we will hold flatness .0015/per foot. There are some industries that do not need a plate to be held flat and then there are others that flatness of the plate is critical | Question: Can you grind non-magnetic material?
Answer: Yes we can grind non-magnetic material. Our chucks on our Blanchard grinders are magnetic chucks. To hold our parts down as we grind we use the magnetic force to hold the plates to the chuck as we grind the opposite side of the plate. On a part that is non-magnetic such as aluminum and some stainless pcs, we have a couple of options. The first would be if the part has holes in it or if we are allowed to place some holes in it, we will bolt to another plate and then grind the part. If the part is heavy enough we could use gravity and also block around the part before grinding. If a plate is thin and doesnt weigh very much we might use another source that has a vacuum table to do the grinding for us. |
