henninger centre grinding machines
perfect runout starts at the centre
Center grinding machines are used wherever the center hole serves as a highly precise reference for the entire downstream machining process. They create the foundation for maximum concentricity and ensure that multiple functional diameters of a component remain perfectly coaxial. At the same time, ground centers enable permanently repeatable positioning during multiple reclamping operations across different manufacturing stages.
Particularly for long and slender workpieces, precision center grinding ensures accurate alignment while maintaining parallelism and straightness throughout machining. Even after heat treatment processes — where components may distort and center holes lose accuracy — center grinding reliably restores the geometric reference. In high-precision manufacturing applications, it therefore forms the essential basis for achieving the tightest tolerances and maximum functional reliability.
Every machine from Henninger is fully developed, engineered, and manufactured in Germany with the goal of combining maximum quality and reliability with advanced manufacturing technology. The result is center grinding machines “Made in Germany” that set industry standards in runout optimization, surface finish quality, and production efficiency.
