Grinding Brass Rods

At Centerless Grinding Services, we have a team of skilled operators with a strong background in working with all different types of metal. This particular job involved cutting-to-length and grinding of small diameter brass rods targeted for use in a research & development project at a leading University.
With incoming rods measuring 0.250" in diameter and a finish diameter requirement of 0.187", our economical approach consisted of using a rough grinding process to get the diameter closer to size. Once adequate stock was removed, we cut the work pieces to 7.5" ±0.010" lengths, precision straightened them to a T.I.R. value of 0.010" along the entire length, and finish ground them to size with close dimensional tolerances of +0.000-0.0004" on the diameter. The technical competencies of our workforce combined with state-of-the-art grinding equipment allowed us achieve this high degree of accuracy on all 6,250 units in this order. Final operations consisted of polishing the rods and packaging them for shipment.
