Mechanical Engineering

Whether it's surface grinding, flat grinding, or profile grinding. With our state-of-the-art machinery, we offer you the right solution for all materials, meeting your desired requirements for dimensional accuracy and surface finish.

Countless shapes and materials

A wide variety of profiles based on drawings
Complete manufacturing possible depending on the workpiece

Surface

Deburred / Brushed / Trowalized
Possible with Ra <0.2

Gear teeth

Type: Profile Grinding

Usage: Guides, Gears, Steering

Rack gears for guides and gearboxes require the highest level of profile accuracy and consistent dimensional stability along the entire pitch. On our Mägerle and Blohm machines, we grind rack profiles to specification, for both individual and mass-produced parts.

Gripper

Type: Profile Grinding

Usage: Tool changer, machinery

Gripper components require the highest dimensional accuracy for reliable function in automated processes. Through profile grinding on our Mägerle machines, we achieve the required tolerances even with complex geometries. The large selection of interfaces for different automation manufacturers such as EROWA, INDUNORM or BMO opens up countless automation options.

Base plate

Type: Profile Grinding

Usage: Machinery, apparatus

Base plates form the foundation for precise assemblies and fixtures. The requirements for flatness and parallelism are correspondingly high. Through our expertise in surface and profile grinding, we deliver base plates with documented dimensional accuracy – from single pieces to recurring series. The large selection of clamping systems enables the machining of the most diverse geometries.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which grinding processes does Wild Wetzikon offer for mechanical engineering?

For mechanical engineering we offer flat, surface and profile grinding from a single source, matched to the material and the required dimensional accuracy. This lets us machine countless shapes and materials to drawing. Depending on the workpiece, complete manufacturing is also possible. Which process fits is decided from your drawing and the tolerance requirements.

Which components are ground for mechanical engineering?

Typical components are rack gears and toothed profiles for guides, gearboxes and steering, gripper components for tool changers, and base plates for fixtures. Rack gears require the highest profile accuracy and reproducible dimensional stability across the entire pitch. Base plates are flat-ground to tight flatness and parallelism. All parts are produced from single pieces through to recurring series.

What surface finish can be achieved with profile grinding?

We achieve surfaces that can be deburred, brushed or trowalised down to a possible Ra below 0.2. The specific finish depends on the function of the component. This lets us reproducibly produce functional surfaces with a defined roughness. We agree your surface requirement before production begins.

Can complex profiles be ground to drawing?

Yes, we grind a wide variety of profiles to drawing on our Mägerle and Blohm machines. Even on complex geometries we achieve the required tolerances, reliably for individual and series parts. The broad selection of clamping systems allows the machining of very different workpieces. Send us the drawing and we will verify the feasibility.

Is complete machining of mechanical-engineering parts possible?

Depending on the workpiece, complete manufacturing is possible, so you have fewer interfaces and suppliers to coordinate. The broad selection of clamping systems allows very different geometries to be machined with documented dimensional accuracy. This saves time and secures consistent quality throughout. What makes sense in your case is something we clarify from the drawing.

Is the offering suitable for individual parts and series?

Yes, we grind individual and series parts with the same care and documented dimensional accuracy. Through established workflows we achieve reproducible results from prototype to recurring series. As a grinding company from Wetzikon, we have manufactured to drawing since 1969. Tell us the quantity and tolerances and we will set up production accordingly.

Profile grinding for mechanical engineering

For mechanical engineering Wild Wetzikon offers surface grinding, flat grinding and profile grinding from one source, matched to the material and the required dimensional accuracy. This lets the most varied shapes and materials be machined to drawing, from a single part to a recurring series. Depending on the workpiece, complete manufacture is also possible, so you need to coordinate fewer interfaces and suppliers. Which process fits is decided from your drawing and the tolerance requirements.

Typical components are racks and gear teeth for guides, gearboxes and steering, gripper components for tool changers, and base plates for fixtures. Punches, dies and guideways are also part of everyday work. Racks require the highest profile accuracy and reproducible dimensional accuracy across the entire tooth pitch. Base plates we machine in surface grinding to tight flatness and parallelism. This creates load-bearing functional surfaces that work together reliably in operation.

In profile grinding we achieve surfaces that, deburred, brushed or trowalised, are possible down to an Ra below 0.2. The specific finish depends on the function of the component. This lets functional surfaces with a defined roughness be produced reproducibly. We agree your surface requirement before production begins, so the result suits further processing and assembly.

We grind the most varied profiles to drawing on our Mägerle and Blohm machines. Even on complex geometries we achieve the required tolerances, reliably for single and series parts. The broad selection of clamping systems allows the machining of the most varied workpieces, from small precision parts to larger base plates. Send us the drawing and we check feasibility and propose a suitable process.

Where complete machining makes sense, we take on several operations in documented dimensional accuracy. This saves time, reduces interfaces and secures consistent quality. For every batch we document the values achieved and supply measurement reports and material certificates on request. What is sensible in your case we clarify together from the drawing.

We grind single and series parts with the same care and documented dimensional accuracy. Through established workflows we achieve reproducible results from prototype to recurring series. As a grinding shop from Wetzikon we have manufactured to drawing since 1969. Tell us quantity and tolerances and we set up production accordingly and prepare a no-obligation quote.
