What is Centerless Grinding?

At Amerascrew, our centerless grinding services in Mansfield, Ohio include an abrasive cutting process to remove material from a workpiece. But what is centerless grinding? Centerless Grinding is the cylindrical workpiece (to be ground) that need not have centers drilled on its face. The centerless grinding machine eliminates the need for center holes, drivers, and other holding devices or fixtures to hold the workpiece.

Centerless Grinding is commonly used for:

Precision Size
Fine Finishes
Resizing
Truing Up After Heat Treating

The most common types of materials used are:

Steel
Aluminum
Brass
Bronze

Amerascew has two Cincinnati centerless grinders with a 4” capacity and an Automatic cycle Royal Master centerless grinder. This gives us a wide-ranging capacity. Amerascrew has the resources to take more material off fast with the large machines and the capability and repeatability of holding fine finishes on small parts.

Ameracrew also provides some diversity through different grit-wheels:

Through Feeding
Plunge Grinding.

In through-feed grinding, you have to position the regulating wheel at a nominal inclination to the grinding wheel axis and the workpiece rotates and moves forward during grinding.

The plunge grinding process uses a three-point positioning method. This allows us to grind even the smallest diameters with the grind length entirely supported.

Unfortunately, high volume, high-quality grinding is quickly becoming a lost art., but at Amerascrew in Mansfield, Ohio, we have the skills and knowledgeable employee base capable of getting the job done right for you! We are happy to chat with you about your next centerless-gridning need!

When you hear the term "automatic screw machine" or the less formal saying of just "screw machine", you may be under the impression that they serve the same function as a screwdriver or drill. This is not the case. Automatic screw machines are essentially lathes used to machine parts for industry or sale. They are capable of threading material, although that is not their sole purpose. A screw machine is essentially a lathe which rotates a piece of material (i.e., wood, clay, metal) on an axis to perform various operations such as cutting sanding, knurling, drilling deformation, facing or turning. At Amerascrew , our engineers analyze your needs closely to give you the most cost-effective method for your parts. Automatic screw machines fall into two easily recognizable categories -- Swiss and Turret -- and while they function differently, their output and benefits are more or less the same.

The "O" Word: Let's Talk About Outsourcing

If you’re a customer of Amerascrew , you’ll know that we are proud to produce American-made parts. In fact, our website states, “Don’t go overseas when the quality your business needs is right in your own backyard!” So why do so many companies these days send jobs overseas to manufacture products in warehouses in places like China and India? Let’s take a look at some of the pros and cons of outsourcing. First, manufacturers can find much cheaper labor costs in countries where the living wage is much lower than that of the United States. Avoiding high operating expenses of course means that money is being saved. Second, outsourcing plays a big role in the globalization of a company, and may even create international business allies in developing countries where these jobs are being created.
