HIGH-TECH TOOLS IN the HANDS of skilled people. That’s where the solutions become reality.

Contrary to the notion: a plated roll is not a finished roll. Grinding is a critical step that prepares the chromium plated surface to either:

• Accept a specialty finish or
• Be polished to flawless mirror perfection.

At MPP, we bring the latest technology as well as years of experience to the fine art and science of grinding chromium plated rolls so that they perform precisely as the customer expects and requires.

SUPERIOR GRINDING:

MP&P is able to grind rolls to surface finishes of:

• 2 Ra and tolerances of 50 millionths TIR (Total Indicator Runout) and shape.

That means that the MP&P refinished roll will operate as well (or better) than the original roll once it’s back in operation at your facility.

A TEAM OF SPECIALISTS

To consistently meet those tolerances, requires the latest in grinding equipment and measurement tools. But technology alone will not get the job done. A critical element in MPP’s precision grinding is the skill and experience of our grinding specialists. There can be no substitute.

MEETING CUSTOMER NEEDS

Our goal is to deliver a roll that can be put back on your line and resume operations with no variation in runout, no feedlines, no chatter, and no hard spots. We can also grind the roll in its bearings to eliminate and variability due to installation.

The post MP&P: Industrial Roll Grinding; a Process and Strategy Overview appeared first on MPP.

Each industrial roll service function carried out by a team member holds in mind that what he does will affect the team member in the next station of service. This removes any do-overs or slowdowns or interruptions on the project. The success of MP&P teams is based on a holistic view of roll service as opposed to, “this is my job,” and functioning as an island.

Team commitment is one of the factors that has allowed us to continue operations continuously and seamlessly for over six decades. This constant approach is now more than a team process, it has become our company culture. Many companies set team building to address one challenge and then disband. A business will be well served to develop teams into its entire business culture.

This month we are honored to announce our candidate for the Employee’s Spotlight. Dave Medina, better known as DJay, is highlighted for the outstanding work he does. DJay started working at MPP on August of 2012.

DJay is responsible for OD grinding on rolls and specializes in grinding high tolerances on bearing seats.  When TIR needs to be in the millionths, DJay is the person we go to.  In addition to his expertise in grinding high tolerances he also supports our company’s growing body of knowledge by testing new grinding media to make process improvements.

DJay has also taken on the responsibility of training new OD grinders. With his attention to detail, well-rounded experience and patience, he typically has new grinders grinding rolls on their own within three months of starting work. DJay is truly a team player who understands the value of satisfying our customers by the quality of his work, and his commitment to sharing his expertise where needed. He leads by example, striving to improve on productivity, performance, knowledge, and abilities.  DJay also worked as a CNC set-up operator and a Swiss Automatic Screw Machine operator. He earned the State of CT Certified Swiss Automatic Screw Machine Operator certificate in June 2005. He is the proud father of two young ladies.

Congratulations, DJay! You have set an outstanding example for your co-workers throughout the Department of OD Grinding.

Dave Northway has been employed with Mirror Polishing & Plating since August 2005 and  currently handles two areas of operation. He is the Senior OD grinder and Senior Chrome Plater.  When we receive difficult or unusual roll projects we call on Dave.  His versatility and creativity helps us meet the toughest demands while providing the highest quality that is expected from our customers.

Everyone thinks well of Dave in the company. He is a great worker and person. What we appreciate most about Dave is his attention detail. For instance, when he delivers a finished roll it’s packaged the correct way and it always looks great. There is no doubt that when the customer opens the box, he or she says “wow.” Dave is a very dedicated employee with a positive attitude and work ethic which makes him deserving of MPP’s Employee Spotlight.  His leadership qualities and ability to adapt have made him an integral part of our daily business objectives.  His ability to balance tasks and fabricate unique tools to assist with the processes is something all of his peers admire.

Among the nominations for Dave, Carlos Pacheco, General Manager, wrote: “Dave has been extremely helpful in assisting us process the most complicated jobs this company has ever seen.  His has been our ‘go to’ person every time we encounter a roll that requires special attention; helping us resolve some difficult discrepancies.”  Dave’s dedication extends from his work to his family.  Married for 41 years, Dave is a proud father of 3 sons.  Congratulations to Dave!!!

Carlos’ primary responsibilities is as the Grinder Helper, which include working on our larger two grinding machines. Grinding is an extremely critical step that prepares the chromium plated surface.  The surface will either accept a specialty finish or be polished to flawless mirror perfection. The importance of this step requires a great attention to detail by him. His main duties are to increase the throughput for those machines by assisting the grinders themselves, and prepping rolls to be placed into the machines. Carlos is currently grinding rolls, and training to operate the grinders. Carlos is dedicated to providing roll engineering solutions to every customer project.
