Precision grinding

BO-Solutions: precision grinding in metal for critical applications.

With flat, round and centerless grinding, we bring hardened steel, carbide and stainless steel to tolerances of up to ±0.005 mm and Ra values < 0,1 µm – voor machinebouw, offshore, energie, defensie en hightech.

Micron-accurate grinding for critical parts

Precision grinding of parts through surface grinding, centerless and circular grinding at BO-Solutions

For bearing seats, sealing surfaces, guides and fits, precision grinding is the only method that guarantees extreme flatness and mirror-smooth surfaces – or the difference between function and failure.

Applications:

  • Hydraulic and pneumatic components – leak-free sealing surfaces
  • Bearing seats and drive shafts – vibration-free fit and long service life
  • Mould parts and tooling – repeatable precision under production pressure
  • Medical Instruments – Sterile Surface Quality
  • Precision parts in mechanical engineering and automation – reliable operation

/ Precision where it counts

OUR GRINDING EXPERTISE: SURFACE GRINDING, CYLINDRICAL GRINDING, CENTERLESS

We combine different grinding processes to give each part the most optimal treatment.

Surface grinding: for clean, flat reference surfaces

For parts that require flatness, parallelity and a fine surface, we use surface grinding.

  • Working area up to 1200 × 600 mm
  • Accuracy up to ±0.005 mm
  • Surface roughness up to Ra 0.05 μm (mirror smooth)

Ideal for sliding surfaces, clamping plates, mould parts, planing surfaces and critical reference surfaces.

Cylindrical grinding: inside and outside, concentric and coaxial

With cylindrical grinding, we bring shafts, bushings and cylindrical parts exactly to size and in line.

  • Max. diameter approx. 250 mm
  • Internal grinding and external grinding possible
  • Specialty: Concentric, Coaxial, Cylindrical Grinding

Perfect for bearing seats, sealing surfaces, cylindrical fit and combinations of inner and outer diameter in one part.

Centerless grinding: high throughput with cylindrical parts

For longer workpieces and serial parts, centerless grinding is often the best choice.

  • Efficient for long cylindrical workpieces
  • High throughput with tolerances around ±0.005 mm
  • Very suitable for rollers, shafts and pins

This way you can have steel ground in series without sacrificing accuracy.

MATERIAL EXPERTISE: FROM HARDENED STEEL TO ENGINEERING PLASTICS

A metal grinder with professional knowledge masters machine and material.

We grind the following materials, among others:

  • Hardened steels (also high hardened, up to tooling qualities)
  • Carbide, also with diamond grinding wheels
  • Stainless steel
  • Engineering plastics in specific applications

For each component, we take into account:

What hardness, what structure, what application? This is how we determine the right sharpening strategy, stone and parameters.

Precision grinding: BO-Solutions as a specialist

BO-Solutions specializes in industrial precision grinding for demanding applications.

Our expertise:

  • Tolerances up to ±0.005 mm and surface quality Ra < 0,1 µm
  • Critical parts for hydraulics, pneumatics, bearings and seals

Have a critical part ground? We think along.

Do you have a component that requires high-level grinding – flat, round or centerless?

Send us your drawing, photo, model or existing part and we will advise you on the best grinding strategy, achievable tolerances and combinations with other operations.

We sharpen precision parts that function in critical systems: bearing seats, sealing surfaces, hydraulic parts and mold parts. We do not re-grind cutting tools or tools.

Frequently Asked Questions about Precision Grinding

What is CNC grinding?

CNC grinding is grinding with computer-controlled grinding machines. The movements of the table, grinding wheel and workpiece are controlled by a CNC control.

Advantages of CNC grinding:

  • Reproducible accuracy – same size every time
  • More complex movements and profiles are possible
  • Programs can be saved, modified and recalled
  • Ideal for series, but also for complex single pieces

At BO-Solutions, we combine CNC grinding with accurate measurement, so that the result not only looks good, but is also objectively within tolerance.

Roughly speaking, the difference is about:

1. Purpose

  • Non-precision grinding: remove burrs, coarse shaping, make surfaces "clean".
  • Precision grinding: tolerances in micrometers, tightly defined roughness, flatness, roundness, concentricity, ...

2. Implementation

  • Non-precision grinding: often manual, with angle grinder, multi-tool or simple machine.
  • Precision grinding: on finely tuned grinding machines (flat, round, centerless), often CNC-controlled, with well thought-out clamping and cooling strategy.

3. Control

  • Non-precision grinding: mainly visual inspection or coarse dimensional check.
  • Precision grinding: with micrometers, height gauges, CMM, roughness meters, and often within an ISO 9001 quality system.

A metal grinding shop such as BO-Solutions focuses on precision grinding: parts that have to perform exactly according to drawings and within strict tolerances.
