From a single part to small-batch production
Precision grinding for custom components in mechanical engineering and industry.
Do you need ground functional surfaces on a custom-made component? Dittler GmbH combines grinding with CNC turning, CNC milling, gear cutting, and grooving, enabling the company to coordinate multiple manufacturing steps for a part based on a drawing.
Grinding is used in particular when components require further processing after previous machining steps or when defined functional surfaces are required. Grinding can also be part of the manufacturing process for gear-cut and heat-treated components.
Our manufacturing services are aimed in particular at companies that need individual parts, small production runs, replacement parts, or custom solutions.

Common Challenges
Have components precision-ground
Grinding is a machining process that is often used following previous machining steps. When planning the manufacturing process, it is not only the surfaces to be ground that are relevant. The material, component geometry, heat treatment, and other functional areas also influence the appropriate machining sequence.
At Dittler, we therefore consider not only the individual grinding process but also the entire part as specified in the drawing, upon request.
In addition to grinding, we have a wide range of in-house manufacturing capabilities at our disposal.
These include, among other things, CNC turning and CNC milling, as well as gear cutting and slotting. This enables an optimally coordinated and efficient manufacturing process, particularly for components requiring multiple machining steps.

Having Individual Parts and Small Batches Ground
In mechanical engineering in particular, there is often no need for precision components in large production runs.
When it comes to custom machines, existing equipment, replacement parts, or new designs, the focus is often on individual workpieces or manageable quantities.
Dittler has specifically tailored its manufacturing to individual parts, small production runs, and custom solutions.
This makes our manufacturing particularly attractive for, for example:

Grinding as Part of Component Manufacturing
In many cases, a precision component is not produced in a single machining step.
For example, a workpiece may first be turned or milled. Depending on the design, this is followed by gear cutting, heat treatment, or grinding.
The available Dittler documentation explicitly lists grinding as a complementary manufacturing process for gears, shafts, hubs, and other mechanical components. This allows, for example, bores, hubs, bearing seats, flat surfaces, and other mating surfaces to be integrated into a coordinated manufacturing process.
For you, this means: You are not limited to requesting just a single machining step.
Send us the complete part drawing. We will determine which machining steps are necessary to achieve the desired result and which of these can be carried out in our production facility.

Grinding of Gears and Geared Components
Grinding plays a special role in conjunction with our gear cutting technology.
In gear-cut components, the base body, bores, hubs, bearing seats, and gear teeth must fit together functionally. Depending on the material and technical requirements, heat treatment may also be part of the manufacturing process.
For hardened components, it is therefore essential to determine during the manufacturing planning phase which areas will be finished before heat treatment and which after.
For corresponding straight-tooth gears, Dittler’s documentation lists grinding the tooth flanks after heat treatment as a possible method.
Thanks to our combination of gear cutting and machining technology, we can consider the component as a whole and coordinate the individual machining steps accordingly.

Grinding and CNC Machining—All Under One Roof
The combination of various manufacturing processes is one of the key strengths of our production.
In addition to grinding, further machining steps may be necessary, depending on the workpiece.
CNC Turning
Rotationally symmetric blanks, shafts, and gears can initially be machined on our CNC lathes.
CNC Milling
CNC machining centers are available for additional surfaces, holes, contours, and other geometries.
Interlocking
Gear manufacturing has been one of our core competencies since the company was founded. Among other things, we manufacture internal and external gears, as well as custom gears.
Grooves
Depending on the workpiece, keyways, hub grooves, and other groove geometries can also be machined in our production facility.
Grinding
Grinding can then be incorporated into the overall process as an additional manufacturing step.
This ensures that, for more complex drawing components, you have a single point of contact who doesn't just focus on a single, isolated step in the process.

Grinding Operations for Mechanical Engineering and Industry
Our manufacturing services are aimed in particular at industrial clients who do not need standard components, but rather a part for a specific machine or assembly.
These include, for example, machine builders, design engineers, technical buyers, and maintenance personnel.
These include, for example, machine builders, design engineers, technical buyers, and maintenance personnel.
Collaboration can be particularly beneficial when the workpiece requires additional machining steps in addition to grinding.
Instead of considering a component separately for turning, milling, gear cutting, and grinding, the technically necessary steps can be taken into account as early as the manufacturing planning stage.
This reduces interfaces and enables a coordinated workflow for the entire part as specified in the drawing.

Grinding After Heat Treatment
For certain components, the sequence of manufacturing steps is critical.
This is especially true when heat treatment is planned. The material, hardness, and required design influence whether certain areas are finished before or after heat treatment. Dittler’s documentation explicitly highlights this relationship, particularly for gear-toothed and hardened components.
For this reason, grinding should be taken into account as early as the planning stage of the entire manufacturing process.
Through our network, external heat treatments and surface treatments can also be integrated into the manufacturing process as needed.

Quality Assurance for Ground Components
For functional machine components, it is crucial that the agreed-upon technical requirements are met.
Dittler GmbH’s quality management system is certified according to DIN EN ISO 9001:2015. The documented processes include inspections during production as well as final inspections.
Among other methods, 3D coordinate measuring technology is available for component inspection. Upon request, measurement reports and initial sample inspection reports can also be provided.
This allows the grinding process to be integrated into a controlled manufacturing process for the entire workpiece.
