GBQ

"Polishers" impart a smooth surface finish. That's what they do best. But that's where the similarity to IMPCO's Process ends....

IMPCO's "GBQ" (Generating Bearing Quality) Microfinishing does a lot more than make round parts smooth and shiny.

Our Process is Patented

It's effectiveness has been proven in millions of cycles at major manufacturers in North America, South America, Europe, Japan, and many other locations all over the world.

These companies have found that "GBQ" Microfinishing is the only process that can dramatically, consistently, and statistically optimize each of the characteristics that affect part function:

Surface Finish
Geometry
Size Tolerance

The result is superior part functioning characteristics that can reduce part processing costs, improve efficiency, boost performance, and reduce warranty costs.

The Patented Tooling

Hard, non-resilient material precisely machined to conform to the diameter to be generated presses the abrasive film against the workpiece at a specific point and pressure.

The Benefits of GBQ include:

Lower warranty costs	Higher component efficiencies
Lower friction, allowing high performance	Removal of ferrite caps in nodular iron parts
No component break-in required	More uniform oil clearances
Optional: generate oil hole radius
