Surface perfection starts here
Our advanced grinding technologies allow precise grinding of surfaces down to a minimum diameter of Ø 0.05 mm. We specialize in recess and form grindings for wires and mandrels, ensuring first-class results with comprehensive quality control through a "Laser Gauge System" that exceeds standard requirements. We expertly process materials such as nitinol and various stainless steel alloys.
Our expertise
Centerless
Support-free grinding for superior roundness and dimensional accuracy in cylindrical parts. Continuous process with minimal setup — ideal for high-volume production. Delivers uniform results with tight tolerances and smooth finishes every time.
Profile
Custom-dressed wheels shape complex profiles with exacting precision.Great for intricate geometries with contoured surfaces. Achieves fine surface quality even on challenging shapes and material.
Plunge
Direct infeed grinding for defined features like grooves and shoulders.Tight tolerances and depth accuracy in targeted grinding zones. Consistent results across repeated cycles and part geometries.
