| Blanchard Grinding |
|
- Ideal for large parts such as rotary tables, mold plates, and vacuum chambers
- Adds size versatility, eliminates mismatches, and speeds turnaround time on large parts when compared to flycutting
- Surface finishes to 16 Ra
|
| Cosmetic Finishing |
|
Flat Abrasive Machining
- Ideal for producing close tolerances with superior finishes on thin parts
- Even parts under .050” can be abrasive machined (depends on total abrasive area)
- Provides cosmetic finishes from 60 grit to 600 grit
Wet Deburring
- Provides consistent, high-quality surface finishes on blanks and machined parts up to 30” wide
- Eliminates jitterbug sanding, reduces grinding and polishing time, and enhances cosmetic appearance
|
| Double - Disc Grinding |
|
- Reduces premachining costs up to 50%
- Simultaneous grinding of two sides of a part provides tighter dimensional tolerances, flatness, and parallelism, while reducing residual stress
- Surface finishes of up to 16 Ra on aluminum and up to 8 Ra on ferrous alloys
|
| Duplex Milling |
|
- Most cost effective method for producing square-corner blanks with squareness and parallelism tolerances to .0002”
- Longer lengths of material can be duplex milled and then cut to size, cutting the cost and ensuring high repeatability from part to part
- Premachining costs are reduced by simultaneously milling two sides of the blank
|
| Precision Plate Sawing |
|
TCI Precision Metals has six precision plate saws to cut our plate and sheet to tight tolerances. Our saws are capable of cutting all allows of aluminum including 6061, 2024, 7075, 5052, 3003 and cast plate just to name a few. We routinely cut large plate with thicknesses up to 8". |
| Turning |
|
- Produces close tolerance ring and circle concentricity with simultaneous turning of outside and inside diameters
- Reduces ring and circle premachining costs up to 50%
- Turned circles provide a significant material cost savings on thin parts because of kerf required to part similar pieces from rod
