Plastic Tooling - Ceramic Grinding

Brief & Challenge:

Our customer manufactures delicate ceramic rings. They need a way to carefully hold them on the outer diameter so they can grind the inner diameter. To protect the parts, they requested no metal contact points.

Solution:

We produced a 6” Diaphragm Chuck with non-metallic top tooling in contact with the customer’s part. The top tooling is made from the most abrasion-resistant plastic available and these items are easily replaceable for new ones should a future need arise.
