Our team at Industrial Grinders & Machining offers a versatile skillset in straightening, grinding, and polishing of alternative materials, such as AL60 Copper bar stock for the manufacturing and automotive industry.
In this project, a customer in Pennsylvania required intensive machining capabilities that featured cutting, straightening, centerless grinding, and polishing for AL60 Copper bar. We originally started with 192" long, 1.35" diameter bar stock that was accurately reduced to a 1.247" diameter and 72" ( + 12") in length. The bar was finished to 63 RMS, then underwent dimensional and visual inspection to maintain quality control. Over the course of 2-3 weeks, a number of bars were produced by volume, and our customer soon recognized our ability to work with alternative materials using a variety of fabrication methods.
We've formed a great relationship with this customer, going above and beyond in our work when required. As a result, we are one of their best suppliers thanks to our versatile line up of service offerings.
