Precision Grinding and Sanding

Our Material Processing Division arises from the growth incapability of our other divisions and the demand from our existing customers to perform ancillary services which, although related to friction material fabrication technologies, are services which can be applied to a much wider range of materials and products.

We have a conventional Arter Rotary surface grinder which can grind metal or composites to an accuracy of +/-.002. We have wide belt sanders for abrading substrates and a very precise 36 in Curtin-Hebert drum sander which can sand to accuracies within .001 in.
