OUR FINISHES
Grinding
Grinding is a mechanical finishing process used to remove excess material and refine metal surfaces.
Our Strengths
Grinding Applications
Superior Aesthetic Finishing Seamless removal of weld beads and imperfections for surfaces ready for chrome plating or visible painting.
Strict Tolerance Compliance Controlled material removal operations that maintain the geometric dimensions of the original technical drawing.
Material Versatility Specific processing cycles adaptable to both hardened steels and light alloys, preventing overheating or deformation.
grinding, process & characteristics
_ grinding, process & characteristics
The grinding process constitutes a fundamental initial phase in metalworking, aimed at removing sharp edges, burrs, or residues from casting, molding, or welding present on the metal item.This operation is performed through the use of abrasive belts and flap wheels, using semi-automatic machines or by hand.The grinding operation begins with the use of coarse-grained abrasives and then gradually proceeds to finer and finer abrasives until the desired level of surface roughness is achieved.Maximum precision during this phase is crucial to obtain a uniform metal surface, ready for subsequent processing.Given its importance in preserving the formal characteristics of the mechanical part and ensuring its correct functioning within a more complex finished product, grinding represents an indispensable and necessary operation for the subsequent stages of metal treatment, such as polishing or painting.

l Belt Grinder
The fixed belt grinder is a benchtop machine with an electric motor (1.5–3 kW) that drives metal rollers with an abrasive belt (50–200 mm) under constant tension (40–60 N/mm²). The workpiece is manually pressed against a fixed or tiltable support table, where abrasion occurs at high linear speed (15–35 m/s). The flexible backing exerts uniform pressure, reducing overheating and allowing for roughing, deburring, sharpening, or finishing complex metal surfaces; an extraction system evacuates the dust.
l Visual Inspection
Visual inspection in grinding is the most immediate inspection method: the operator examines the workpiece with the naked eye to detect burns, scratches, porosity, waviness, cracks, or burr residues. The check takes place in-line at the end of the cycle or between successive passes, verifying surface roughness and structural integrity. Early detection of defects is critical to avoid reducing the component's fatigue limit or the premature failure of the abrasive tool.
