Internal Grinding
Internal grinding is a machining process with geometrically undefined, multi-edged tools. In maximum precision overall systems, internal processing normally represents the more complex tasks. Especially when the basis for system functionality is produced by the internal machining of guides and seats, as is routine in the injection industry. Often with a diameter of < 1 mm. Complex project experience from this "physically limiting" process design qualify BAHMÜLLER for all other internal grinding tasks.
