Bar Stock Manufacturing – How it Works
A crucial part of what makes Central Wire a global leader in Specialty Bar Stock products is our custom manufacturing and machining capabilities. Notably, our through-feed centerless grinding machines maximize our ability to meet extremely precise tolerances.
The process consists of a workpiece being constantly fed through the machine between a grinding wheel and a regulating wheel. This process not only allows for us to meet exact customer demands but offers improved surface finish as well.
This manufacturing process helps our Bar Stock find use in applications including;
- Bearings and Bushings
- Engine Components
- Fasteners
- Bolts, Screws Nuts
- Landing Gear Components
