Honing Services
Our company offers professional honing services, ensuring the highest precision and surface finish quality. Honing is a finishing process that allows achieving perfect geometry of holes and excellent surface smoothness. This process is particularly recommended for processing cylinders, bushings, and other components requiring high precision.
Advantages of Honing in Our Offer
- Dimensional and Geometrical Precision: Honing allows for achieving extremely high dimensional accuracy and ideal surface geometry, which is crucial for components requiring tight tolerances.
- Excellent Surface Quality: The honing process ensures smoothness and uniform surface texture, improving the performance of components, reducing friction, and enhancing their durability.
- Repeatability: With precise control over the honing process, each component is identical, making us the perfect partner for serial production.
- Cost Optimization: Honing eliminates the need for additional finishing processes, shortening production time and reducing costs.
- Process Safety: The automated honing process minimizes human error and machine failure risks, ensuring stability and operational safety.
- Versatility: We carry out honing on a wide variety of materials, including metals, ceramics, and composites, tailored to meet our clients’ specific requirements.
- Extended Lifespan of Components: Through precise surface finishing, honing increases the resistance of components to wear and tear, leading to longer operational life.
Sunnen Machine Specifications: maximum Workpiece Weight: 680 kg, workpiece dimensions: 915 mm x 1015 mm
Key Features of the Sunnen Machine
- Automatic Grid Angle Control
Simply enter the desired grid angle, and the Sunnen machine automatically adjusts the spindle and stroker speeds to achieve a consistent grid angle throughout the hole. This ensures perfect geometry and repeatability!
- Real-Time Display of Hole Profile
Thanks to an innovative visualization system, we can continuously monitor the hole’s cross-section. This feature simplifies cone removal and allows precise stopping of the machine at the exact position when the hole appears smaller visually.
- Programmable Auto Dwell Function
The machine automatically halts at the narrowest part of the hole (top, middle, or bottom), allowing for unmanned operation and improving process efficiency.
Types of Honing in Our Offer
Although honing does not have as distinct a categorization as some other processing methods, various techniques and approaches allow us to tailor the process to the specific needs of our clients. We provide comprehensive honing solutions that ensure the highest precision, surface quality, and processing efficiency.
- Vertical Honing – This process is performed using high-quality honing stones of the appropriate diameter. The honing tools must be correctly sized to match the material being processed. Vertical honing is an incredibly effective way to achieve smoothness in cylinders by eliminating imperfections such as scratches, cracks, or burn marks, as well as altering the diameter. The vertical positioning of the honing tool helps remove chips and prevents them from accumulating within the hole. This makes the process more stable and secure, significantly reducing the risk of damage to the component.
