192" Grinding Capability

Because of DETCO’S experience and background in the machine tool industry, close tolerance, precision work is common. DETCO craftsmen are trained and dedicated to perform in a high quality, precision work environment. Grinders are all maintained regularly through a documented preventive maintenance program (DPM). Grinders and work areas are regularly cleaned and painted to provide friendly, comfortable surroundings.

Regularly scheduled plant meetings are held to discuss matters of special interest and to keep personnel informed of changes in the workload and special requirement jobs. Quality is always emphasized at these meetings. Quality is assured by full-time Q/C inspectors.

The main facility located in Detroit is equipped with a fifteen thousand square foot, environmentally controlled finish grinding room for unusually close tolerance work. The standard is .0002" minimum parallelism on grinding work performed in this room. Specially trained craftsmen and procedures including CNC equipped machines commensurate with this type of grinding work, are maintained in this room.


Regrind of Slant Bed Machine Base

Because of DETCO’s techniques and abilities to perform close tolerance work on it’s own products, DETCO is often requested to perform surface grinding operations on material and components belonging to others. As a result, DETCO has developed a contract surface grinding service, which has rapidly developed into a major portion of its business. Typical of contract grinding work performed at DETCO are machine beds and other machine components, weldments, gantry components, fixtures, close tolerance dies and die plates, linear motion bars and components, risers, bolster plates, and many and other special designed parts for the defense industry and other industries.

For your next special project requiring close tolerances, consider close tolerance PRECISION SURFACE GRINDING by DETCO. For quoting purposes, send your detailed drawings or sketches. For budgetary pricing, a brief verbal description will suffice. The part can be shipped to our manufacturing facility, and a quotation will be submitted before proceeding with the surface grinding service.

DETCO is equipped to receive drawings via E-mail.
