In external cylindrical grinding, we mount round-turned and milled parts either in a chuck or between centres. With a single setup, we consistently deliver precise diameters, roundness, cylindricity and smooth surface finishes. This allows us to grind multiple external diameters, tapers and lengths.

Description of the procedure
External cylindrical grinding is a precise manufacturing process used to machine cylindrical components for various industries such as automotive, aerospace, medical technology and toolmaking.
A rotating grinding disc is pressed against the outer surface to remove material, achieving tight tolerances and smooth surfaces. The grinding disc, grinding speed and pressure all influence the quality of the finish.
The benefits include precision, fine surface finish, versatility, efficiency and repeatability. This makes external cylindrical grinding a key process in modern manufacturing.
