We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Cylindrical Grinding",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release OD wheels grind hard/'exotic'/tough alloys from
Tyrolit, which we summarised at the time by saying "Two ranges of external cylindrical grinding wheels have been introduced for large volume production of components from difficult materials such as hardened steel and tough exotic alloys".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Cylindrical grinding developments shown from
Danobat Group: "Two cylindrical grinding machine developments offer precision universal grinding and a modular system that can combine conventional and high speed grinding processes".
In August 2007, we covered the news from Curtis Machine Tools
concerning its Vector production cylindrical grinding machine
- take a look at Production cylindrical grinder has 5 workheads
which says: "A precision production cylindrical grinding machine for chuck, between-centres, face and concentric grinding has five different interchangeable workheads for straight or angle approach grinding".
Take a look also at the news release from Hardinge Machine Tools, Latest CNC to be shown in precision machining,
as well as Vertical production grinding centre hard turns from Emag UK,
and Six-axis CNC machine grinds micro tools from Koerber Schleifring UK.
