Provisional entry — research in progress
This page was generated automatically from cited public sources and hasn't completed the full research pass yet. Every specification shown carries its source; more detail is added as research completes.
The Blanchard 20 36 Surface is a surface grinder. The Blanchard 20 36 Surface is configured with an Electro-Matic Neutrol II Magnetic Chuck Control.[1][2]
What it is
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedSurface grinders remove material from a workpiece to produce a flatter and more uniform surface. Surface grinders commonly hold the workpiece on a chuck while a grinding wheel passes across the surface under controlled motion. Magnetic chuck control is generally used when the workpiece must be held securely during grinding.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedSurface grinding is generally used where a part needs a finished planar surface before a later assembly, packaging, or inspection step. Surface grinding commonly follows earlier shaping or cutting operations and precedes processes that depend on thickness control, flatness, or surface condition.
Applications
The Blanchard 20 36 Surface is used in dicing and grinding applications.[2]
