Sourcing the Necessary Services for Precision Thread Grinding

For many companies involved in industries like aerospace, automotive, motion control, transportation, and more, small component manufacturing can be a costly and time-consuming process if attempted in-house. Why is this? Oftentimes these small components require complex, precision designs and manufacturing processes to be properly produced. One of the more common examples of small component manufacturing service that a company might choose to outsource is precision thread grinding. Here are some of the key reasons why.


Dimensional Accuracy is Key


Whenever you are producing a thread designed to hold two separate components together, it is essential that the fit is perfect for your exact needs. Even the smallest inaccuracy in the design or the manufacturing process could result in an improperly fitted thread, leading to things like leads and even burst lines. Dedicated metal grinding companies will be able to best achieve your strict dimensional tolerances, and will have great background knowledge in how your specific material behaves in the grinding process, and how to best design for things like thermal expansion and pressure changes when the component is installed into your equipment.


Trust the Experts


Depending on your unique company needs, it is oftentimes not worth your time, effort, and capital to invest in thread grinding for a small number of components. Your company should be focused on how to best perfect and deliver the overall product. That doesn't mean you sacrifice anything in terms of quality. The best manufacturing companies will understand when it is best to perform the metal fabrication and grinding services in-house, and when it makes most sense to outsource these services. Your company can still be experts in your product, without needed to have every single component produced by your own internal team.
