Our customer designs and sells grinding and super abrasive machining systems specifically for a variety of applications and industries. 

Brief

The operation is to grind the outer diameter of the turbine’s fins, to ensure ultra-accurate clearance within the turbo housing, due to its efficiency requirements. 

Challenge

The work holding chuck needs to hold the long shaft of this turbine and to grip the grooved diameter underneath its head. 

Solution

Our solution is a  5” Diaphragm Chuck (Northfield DPH-500) Especially customized. In addition, to the brief the chuck has a spring-loaded carbide center, down in the bore of the chuck. This initially centers the part upon loading.
