In addition to the new construction being in full swing, Van Geenen has invested in its machinery by purchasing the Timesavers 81 Series. This machine can grind materials flat and to thickness with an accuracy of +/- 0.025 mm over a width of 2100 mm and a length of 8500 mm.
What distinguishes this is that the machine can also grind non-magnetic materials flat because it is equipped with a vacuum system, which sucks the product onto the table. This is a wet grinding process, which means that highly flammable materials such as titanium can be processed without any problems. Further use will be made of stainless steel, aluminum, molybdenum, etc.
Flat grinding, grinding to thickness, achieving very low Ra values and a tight homogeneous finish. This machine can do it all and is expected to be operational by the end of 2020.
