Precise. Powerful. Compact.
DCM Tech’s IG 180 SD rotary surface grinder delivers precision and performance in a fully enclosed, compact package. Designed with a focus on cleanliness, this grinder is ideal for environments where air quality is critical. The IG 180 SD excels in mid-volume grinding applications, combining the efficiency of rotary surface grinding with advanced features like a servo drive control package that allows for the storage of multiple programs to ensure process repeatability. As a modern complement to the legacy of Blanchard® by Bourn & Koch, the IG 180 SD provides a reliable and efficient solution for close-tolerance grinding needs.
Grinding Applications
DCM grinders outperform conventional surface grinders by efficiently removing large amounts of material while maintaining tight tolerances and significantly reducing process time. As a modern alternative to traditional Blanchard® grinders, our machines—manufactured by Bourn & Koch—offer advanced features like variable feed rate and spindle speed, single or multi-step grinding, and easily programmable processes, making them ideal for a wide range of materials and applications.
