By carrying on the craftsmanship of artisans "Scraping," we continue to provide grinding machines that achieve both the precision grinding process and high productivity.
Scraping is the traditional technology that supports the world of ultra-precision. This skill of craftsmen, who have the heart of an artisan, represents half a century of manufacturing surface grinding machines at Sumitomo Heavy Industries Finetech, Ltd. of the SHI Group. The SHI Group is a major manufacturer of large scale surface grinding machines and has been making a large number of deliveries to machine tool manufacturers, liquid crystal semiconductor equipment manufacturers, the automobile industry as well as the die industry, receiving highly positive evaluations. The SHI Group will continue to provide products that respond to the needs of our customers, which are expected to keep on diversifying in the future.
These grinding machines are capable of efficiently and highly precisely grinding guideways in machine tools and industrial machinery, as well as flat surfaces of components in precision machinery in general, as they are equipped with both the horizontal axis grinding stone and the revolving grinding stone. Unmanned operation is also possible by adding on a pallet changer (APC) and automatic grinding stone changer (AWC).
