As one of the oldest forms of mechanical grinding developed in the 1900s, Blanchard grinding has evolved into the most reliable surface grinding technique for low- or high-volume projects involving objects with large surface areas. It can remove material faster than other precision grinding methods.
Keeping up with the trends allowed us to employ advanced equipment and innovative Blanchard grinding techniques to achieve superior outcomes based on your specifications and requirements. Regardless of your project’s complexity, you can trust us to deliver outstanding results that will satisfy your rigorous requirements.
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 through Blanchard grinding, 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. With Blanchard grinding, we can 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:
Apart from Blanchard grinding, our services 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. All precision grinding techniques aim to create ultra-smooth surfaces without leaving patterns or bumps.
The versatility of Blanchard grinding meant that it can be used to grind a wide range of materials for various demanding industries, such as automotive, aerospace, manufacturing, and more. These materials include:
That said, Blanchard grinding is suitable for applications that require flat and parallel surfaces, such as:
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 our Rockland, Illinois, or Milwaukee, Wisconsin locations.
