This type of grinding is a popular process for production, but at Hygrade we combine excellent customer service with the experience to deliver on time, on budget, and within your exact specifications.
On a vertical cylindrical grinding machine, the piece is held up straight during grinding, so there’s less opportunity for distortion. By choosing the best machines and experienced operators for the job, Hygrade achieves the high tolerances necessary for your project.
The grinder can prepare cylinders in multiple shapes, not just straight pieces. The variety of tooling allows for a tapered cone, angled elements in different widths, and total shaped cylinders.
Large aerospace casings are ideal for the vertical cylindrical grinding centers due to their wide diameters and shorter lengths. Many of these components require grinding of plasma and HVOF coatings, for which Hygrade is an approved source with leading aerospace and defense contractors.
