Blanchard Grinding Services
What is Blanchard Grinding?
The word Blanchard is actually the name of the equipment that is used to perform the process of flat grinding. The Blanchard is a vertical surface grinder that is built of rigid construction, which allows good accuracy and production type repeatability. The Blanchard Grinder is a piece of equipment that Ferro-Ceramic Grinding readily uses on small prototype runs to full production runs.
Why use Blanchard Grinding?
Blanchard should be considered for the machining of any flat surface
Blanchard can be used as a pre lap/polish process because of the rapid rate of stock removal, flatness and surface finish ability.
Blanchard should be used when you need to control depth of features.
Blanchard can be used when a part has projections or other features by incorporating some simple fixtures.
