Spindle Finishing

The following capabilities and advantages of spindle finishing are justifiably recognized:

• Rapid, precision finishing of parts.
• Part dimensions can be maintained to extremely close tolerances.
• Uniform deburring, radius forming, blending of machine or grind lines, and improved micro-inch surface finish can be accomplished on external surfaces.
• Short process cycles, generally 5 seconds to 5 minutes.
• Parts are fixture, resulting in no damage due to part on part impingement.

Abrasive slurry moving at speeds up to 1000 surface feet per minute process large parts or clusters of small parts on spindle mounted chucks. Centrifugal force spins the selected finishing media into a "form fitting grinding wheel" while slow rotation of the part in the mass assures uniform deburring and finishing of all surfaces. Delivers precision finishing of gears, bearing cages, splined shafts, pump rotors, jet compressor discs, jet blades and other complex parts.
