Known worldwide for leading-edge automotive cam and crankshaft processing systems, Cinetic Landis is also a leader in centerless grinding and disc grinding processes as well as lean and flexible CNC grinders for a wide range of shaft-type components.
OUR HERITAGE:
The companies of Cinetic Landis Grinding Corp. have been world leaders in precision grinding technology for well over a century. Landis' founder, F.F. Landis, invented modern cylindrical grinding in the 1870's when he mounted a power-driven emery wheel on the tool post of a lathe. His brother, Abraham B. Landis, pioneered the use of water as a coolant/lubricant during the grinding process to improve its efficiency, and the modern age of grinding was born.
Then, in 1890, Frederick Gardner invented the disc grinder, which became the foundation of Gardner Machine Company in 1905. His lifelong dedication to the improvement of disc grinding technology led directly to the formation of Gardner Abrasives in 1917, and the development of modern wet double-disc grinding as a reliable production process in the 1940's.
The firms founded by these pioneers were united for the first time in 1950, when Landis purchased Gardner to create the industry's most comprehensive supplier of precision grinding technology. The exchange of expertise and technology between the two companies significantly strengthened both of them, and produced a series of breakthrough products which formed the backbone of high-volume precision manufacturing operations all over the world.
Litton Industries recognized the strategic importance of this center of grinding excellence, and purchased the combined company in 1968, as part of its move into the precision manufacturing arena. Operating as separate entities within the Litton, and subsequently Western Atlas and UNOVA corporate structures, Landis and Gardner continued to break new ground in their respective areas of expertise. As part of the UNOVA organization, the Cincinnati line of centerless grinders were added. Most recently, the respected Giustina line of double disc grinders has been added under the ownership of our parent company, Cinetic Industries.
CYLINDRICAL GRINDING TECHNOLOGY LEADERSHIP:
Cinetic Landis has continually advanced cylindrical grinding technology, especially for the production of automotive components, through numerous innovations including the highly flexible orbital grinding process. Cinetic Landis also became a leading source of research into high productivity grinding tool materials, including CBN and other superabrasives.
Today, Cinetic Landis' core technologies include expertise in hydrostatic bearings and ways, CNC axis control, multiple-axis servo coordination, machine/sensor integration, motorized spindles, advanced computer-based machine control systems, as well as superabrasive applications. Cinetic Landis is also a leading developer of sophisticated software tools for monitoring and controlling grinding processes. Numerous joint research and development efforts with major automotive customers and leading university researchers around the world are currently in place.
An example of the results of such efforts are the Cinetic Landis-designed CBN grinding systems which deliver significant productivity increases in areas such as camshaft and crankshaft grinding. Other technologies, including linear motor axis drives, are also being applied.
Ongoing investigations into high productivity grinding using advanced wheel materials and machine designs have resulted in exciting new approaches to grinding, including high-speed grinding and grinding from the "rough" - known as "green grinding".
In order to expand its market share with automotive tier suppliers as well as other industries, Cinetic Landis introduced a new series of value-engineered grinding systems designed for low- to medium-production applications requiring flexibility and dependability at a lower cost.
With the addition of the well respected Cincinnati centerless grinders and Giustina double disc grinders, Cinetic Landis Grinding has rounded out its comprehensive line of world-class precision grinders and systems.
