Precision CNC Grinding Services

Description

The precision CNC Grinding Services offered by us provide an industry standard for commercial and military aircraft components as well as small and large land-based industrial gas turbine components.

Our Grinding Equipment includes a continuous dress creep feed that operates up to 100 HP with a 20" wheel, 4-axis continuous dress creep feed, 5-axis CBN, 1 & 2 spindle cylindrical verticals, and CNC surface grinders. This equipment enables us to grind the inside and outside diameter of components, as well as process surface and radial grinds. At Hi-Tek, our precision Grinding Services can handle high temperature aerospace super alloys, cobalt and nickel based components, and single crystal and conventional castings.

We are an ISO 9001:2008 certified company that handles make-to-print, concurrent engineering, and product manufacturing management for our Gas Turbine clients. To learn more about our precision Grinding Services, please see the table below, or contact us directly.
