How a Haas UMC-750 universal machining centre has helped in establishing OMC as a serious maker of cycling componentry It’s rare to meet an Italian who isn’t passionate about some sort of wheeled transport – cars, motorcycles, scooters, etc. – and Ivan Cavallaro is no exception. Like so many of his compatriots, he’s a cycling nut – in particular, road cycling. His days as a “serious” racer may be behind him, but performance bicycles remain so much in his blood that he invested in a Haas UMC-750 universal machining centre to make some of the lightest, strongest high-performance components available.…

Centerless Grinding operation is a mass production process in which cylindrical components are ground without reference to center. This operation is used as the final process in majority of the components where the tolerances and the quality parameter are stringent. The grinding process is basically designed for mass production. As the cost of manufacturing is increasing, the users are trying to extract more & more production from a grinder in order to lower the cost per piece. The user feedback and experiences highlighted the problems faced during day to day work, and solutions need to be implemented for future expansion…
