Dawson Shanahan, in partnership
with Asahi Diamond Industrial, has
perfected a production process for
the precision grinding of small
component parts, to tolerances of
just a few microns, at high speed and
in large volumes. Suitable for parts
for medical, automotive, electronics
and aerospace applications, the
process runs on custom-built systems
from machine builder E-Tech.
Jeff Kiernan, commercial director, says: "We have invested heavily in advanced production and quality systems to create one of the most advanced component grinding facilities in Europe.We have developed a production process that can consistently achieve sub-micron levels of precision for ground parts, at high speeds and large volumes. As far as we are aware, this is the first time an engineering company has achieved such a feat on a commercial scale."
