Immersion grinding

Immersion grinding is a process in surface technology that is used for the precision machining of workpieces. It is a form of grinding in which the workpiece is immersed in a grinding medium, such as grinding paste or abrasive.

During the immersion grinding process, the workpiece is immersed in a rotating abrasive solution, allowing the abrasive medium to come into contact with the surface to be machined. This enables an even and controlled removal of material to achieve the desired dimensions and surface finish.

Plunge grinding is often used to machine workpieces with complex shapes or hard-to-reach areas that are difficult to reach with conventional grinding methods. It also offers an efficient way to process large numbers of workpieces in a short time, as several parts can be processed simultaneously in the grinding solution.

This process is used in various industries, including automotive, aerospace, medical and electronics manufacturing. It enables the production of high-precision components with tight tolerances and smooth surfaces that meet the requirements of demanding applications.
