AMP offers highly precise Blanchard grinding services tailored to diverse applications. We cater to industries ranging from mining to nuclear power and produce customized products such as OEM components, heavy-duty vehicle parts, armor plating, and more.
Our experienced team works to tolerances of ±.005 in., for flat or parallel measurements, perpendicularity, or other dimensions, with the possibility of achieving even tighter tolerances. We provide surface finishes of up to 63 or a standard finish of 125 RMS.
Our Blanchard grinding process employs CNC-controlled automation, accommodating a range of metals, including:
Our services also include cleaning, packaging, barcoding, and free delivery within a 150-mile radius of our Milwaukee or Rockford facilities.
First developed by the Blanchard Machine Company of Cambridge, MA, in the early 20th century, Blanchard grinding, also known as rotary surface grinding, is a globally acknowledged method for finishing flat surfaces. It employs a cylindrical grinding wheel and vertical grinding spindle for precise and accurate material removal.
While Blanchard grinding is ideal for large surface areas and high-volume projects, precision grinding techniques are better suited for smaller objects and more complex surface requirements. Regardless, all precision grinding techniques aim to create ultra-smooth surfaces without leaving patterns or bumps.
For projects demanding precise removal of material from large surface areas, Blanchard grinding offers a cost-effective solution. AMP provides expertly crafted components with quick turnaround times and delivers free of charge within 150 miles of either our Rockland, Illinois, or Milwaukee, Wisconsin locations.
