Centerless Grinding at Globe Grinding, Inc. provides high-throughput precision grinding of cylindrical workpieces without centers or chucks. This process achieves smooth finishes and tight diameter tolerances, ideal for mass production of shafts and bar stock up to three inches in diameter.

Centerless Thru-feed Grinding continuously feeds cylindrical workpieces between a grinding wheel and regulating wheel without the need for centers or chucks. This high-throughput process delivers precise diameters and smooth finishes, ideal for mass production.

Globe Grinding, Inc. specializes in OD/ID Cylindrical Grinding using precision grinders to achieve sub-micron accuracy on shafts and cylindrical parts. The process supports complex geometries including tapers and multi-diameter parts with tolerances to .0001 and finishes to 10 micrometers.

OD / ID Cylindrical Grinding uses precision cylindrical grinders to finish external (OD) and internal (ID) diameters to sub-micron accuracy. The workpiece is held between centers or in chucks while abrasive wheels traverse or plunge-feed to achieve tight roundness, concentricity and mirror finishes. Match-grind capability produces mated shaft/bore sets with controlled clearance or interference fits, supporting aerospace, medical and gauge manufacturing.

Infeed Grinding at Globe Grinding, Inc. offers precision grinding with the ability to handle all angles, tapers, and multi-diameter parts. This process is ideal for complex shaft geometries requiring exacting dimensional control and surface finish.

Infeed Rolling is a specialized rolling method in which the workpiece is gradually fed into rotating rolls, allowing precise control of deformation over multiple passes. This process is often used for producing cylinders, tubes, and profiles with consistent wall thickness, and it can be more efficient than traditional rolling techniques for certain geometries.

Globe Grinding, Inc. provides precision shaft grinding with diameters from .025 to 3 inches and tolerances within .0002. This service ensures high accuracy and surface finish for shafts used in aerospace, automotive, and other precision applications.

Precision turning of slender shafts whose length-to-diameter ratio typically exceeds 15:1. Uses between-centres support (live/dead centres, programmable steady rests) and vibration-damped tooling to maintain ≤0.05 mm TIR over metre-scale workpieces. Typical applications include power-generation rotors, down-hole drilling mandrels, aerospace actuators, and automotive drive shafts.

Long-Shaft CNC Turning

Shaft Grinding

Bar Stock Grinding at Globe Grinding, Inc. includes custom grinding of customer-supplied bar stock up to 12 feet in length and diameters from .030 to 2.5 inches. This service supports precision preparation of raw materials for further manufacturing processes.

Bar-Fed CNC Turning automates production by feeding continuous bar stock (typically ≤ 50 mm / 2 in Ø) through the spindle. Coupled with sub-spindle or parts-catcher, it enables unattended, high-volume manufacture of precision turned components with minimal material waste and cycle time.
