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.”
