IMTS 2018 Conference: Advanced grinding takes parts to new heights

Plan to attend The IMTS 2018 Conferences to expand your industry knowledge as you learn from the pros.

Most aerospace components, especially engine turbine parts, are notoriously difficult to manufacture due to industry-mandated intense inspection and validation requirements, tough-to-machine raw part materials and long processing cycle times. Marchand explains how advanced surface and profile grinding technologies combined with cutting-edge automation can help shops overcome many, if not all, of these challenges.

Registration is now open so check out the IMTS 2018 website for more information.
