Machine
UNITED GRINDING North America is the solutions partner for precision CNC grinding, offering surface & profile, cylindrical, tool, and additive manufacturing machines through nine specialized brands, backed by full lifecycle customer care from its Miamisburg, Ohio headquarters.
Background Knowledge
Grinding is the final precision step in manufacturing. It removes the last thousandths of material to achieve surface finishes and dimensional tolerances that cutting tools cannot match.
While turning and milling remove material in bulk, precision grinding removes microns at a time to achieve surface roughness values as low as Ra 0.1μm and tolerances of ±0.001mm. For components in aerospace, medical, automotive, and tooling, grinding determines final quality.
Cylindrical grinding processes round parts such as shafts, bearing races and spindles via external or internal grinding. Surface and profile grinding processes flat and complex-profile workpieces. UNITED GRINDING covers both domains comprehensively across its brand portfolio.
UNITED GRINDING's C.O.R.E. (Customer Oriented REvolution) platform provides machine data access, productivity analytics, and service connectivity through the Customer Portal, turning grinding machines into connected Industry 4.0 assets.
Product Lines
Nine specialist brands, each with deep domain expertise in their grinding discipline, operating under a unified solutions framework with shared service infrastructure.
MÄGERLE (MFP and MGC series) specializes in 5/6-axis grinding centers for complex aerospace and turbine components. BLOHM (PROFIMAT, PLANOMAT) covers high-performance creep feed and surface grinding. JUNG (J600) addresses precision flat grinding with a focus on dimensional accuracy.
STUDER (S20 to S41 and S100 to S151 series) is the global reference for universal cylindrical grinding. SCHAUDT focuses on production cylindrical grinding for automotive components. MIKROSA specializes in centerless grinding for high-volume production of round parts.
WALTER (HELITRONIC series) grinds and measures cutting tools with integrated HELITRONIC TOOL STUDIO CAD/CAM software. EWAG specializes in ultra-precision indexable insert and PCD tool grinding. Together they cover the complete tool manufacturing spectrum.
IRPD extends UNITED GRINDING's capabilities into metal additive manufacturing via Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF). The IMPACT 4530 LPBF Printer enables near-net-shape production of complex metal components, complementing the group's grinding expertise for hybrid additive-subtractive manufacturing workflows.
Industry Applications
