Why Buy Chevalier From Hillary Machinery?

Hillary Machinery helps manufacturers evaluate workpiece geometry, material, tolerance, surface-finish requirements, grinding process, workholding and production volume to determine the appropriate Chevalier grinding solution. Our team also provides applications assistance, installation, service and parts support.

Choosing the Right Chevalier Grinder

Grinding-machine selection should begin with the part and the required finished condition. Important considerations include:

  • Workpiece: material, dimensions, geometry and weight
  • Grinding process: surface, cylindrical, rotary, profile or vertical grinding
  • Tolerance: dimensional accuracy, flatness, roundness and geometric requirements
  • Surface finish: required finish and grinding-wheel specification
  • Workholding: magnetic chuck, centers, chucking or specialized fixturing
  • Production: one-off toolroom work, batch production or higher-volume manufacturing
  • Automation: manual, automatic or CNC operation

Manual, Automatic & CNC Surface Grinding

Manual surface grinders remain useful for toolrooms, maintenance departments and lower-volume precision work where an experienced operator needs direct control of the grinding process.

Automatic and CNC surface grinders add programmable motion, repeatability and process control for applications requiring higher throughput, recurring part programs or more complex grinding cycles.

Universal Cylindrical Grinding

Cylindrical grinding is commonly used for shafts, bearing surfaces, sleeves, tooling and other components with a central axis of rotation. Universal machines can support combinations of OD and ID grinding depending on machine configuration and tooling.

Chevalier cylindrical grinders can be evaluated around part diameter, grinding length, workhead configuration, wheel size, required tolerances and production requirements.

Rotary & Advanced Material Grinding

Rotary surface grinding is particularly useful when repetitive flatness, efficient stock removal or circular workpieces make a rotating table advantageous.

For silicon carbide, quartz, ceramics and other hard or brittle materials, machine rigidity, vibration control, spindle performance, workholding and grinding-wheel technology become especially important. Chevalier offers specialized grinding configurations for these demanding applications. citeturn671155search8
