PEELING

Peeling process : CALIBRACIER's cutting tool removes the superficial layer and surface defects while calibrating the piece to obtain the requested diameter. On cylindrical steel bars, each peeling step allows the removal of one to several millimeters. This peeling process is followed by a straightening step. 


Capacities

Diameters :

Ø 10mm (0.39in) -
Ø 200mm (7.87in)

Tolerances :

ISO IT 10, 11, 12
(≈ 0,10mm)

Lengths :

Min: 2.8m (110.23in) -
Max: 12m (472.44in)

STRAIGHTENING

CALIBRACIER's roller straightening machines and presses ensure the straightening of bars, guaranteeing the required straightness and enhancing overall quality. This is a fundamental step before any grinding process. 


Capacities

Diameters :

Ø 6mm (0.23in) -
Ø 200mm (7.87in)

Straightness :

up to 0.05 mm/meter

Lengths :

up to 13 meters (511.81in)

CENTERLESS GRINDING

After the preliminary steps of peeling and straightening processes, centerless grinding guarantees high-precision geometric parameters: a very strict tolerance on diameter, an improved surface quality (roundness, roughness: up to 0.30µm Ra...).

Cylindrical centerless grinding is a cold process in which the round bar passes through the machine and between two grinding wheels. During the centerless grinding process, the metal removal rate is very gradual and allows CALIBRACIER to work on round and very long bars (up to 13 meters/ 511.81 inches).



Capacities

Diameters :

Ø 1.50mm (0.059in) -
Ø 200mm (7.87in)

Tolerance :

ISO IT 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 (0,005 mm)

Lengths :

up to 13 meters (511.81in)

POLISHING

As a final step, polishing improves the overall surface state of the bars. It is commonly used on bars involved in critical application. 


Capacities

Diameters :

Ø 2mm (0.787in)-
Ø 160mm (6.29in)

Roughness :

Ra up to 0.20µm

Lengths :

up to 10 meters (393.7in)

CUTTING

As an additional service, individual bars can be cut-to-length by miling saws or band saws.


Capacities

Diameters :

Ø 6mm (0.23in) -
Ø 400mm (15.74in)

Tolerance :

of the order of a millimeter
