Get your honing tasks done efficiently

The vertical honing machine is particularly designed for providing the final size and creating the desired finish pattern on the interior of cylinder bores. This low maintenance stainless steel machinery provides a clean working environment and safety of the staff responsible for maneuvering the machine. The need for greater speed, efficiency and accuracy are effectively met by this machine. It's time to get your tasks done with the minimum involvement of labour.

What’s the honing process ?

Finishing and perfect sizing of cylindrical bores are achieved by expanding the abrasive stones of suitable grade against the workforce. The stones are rotated in the part with the hone abrasive under extremely controlled pressure. The combination of rotation and reciprocation helps in producing a cross-hatch pattern in the entire surface of the tubing part that is being honed. Hence, the vertical honing machine delivers visible improvements in the honing finishing accuracy, efficiency, and productivity that were unimaginable before the origination of equipment.

There is no upright drive spindle mechanism that's responsible for the honing of bore applications. The rocking motion is produced when honing is done in one direction however the linear motion is produced when honing is done in a different rectangular orientation. The small-bore applications usually include gun barrels, fuel injectors, connecting rods, etc. and the large bore applications include landing gear components, diesel liners, bearing sleeves, etc.

The vertical honing machine provides long term reliability for the honing parts in defense, aerospace and automotive industries.

Following are the standard features

•  Self-contained design
• Touch screen operator controls
• Single and two-stage machinery with load sensing.
• Automatic size control options

Benefits associated with vertical honing machine

• Both the short and long types of bores can be honed with complete accuracy.
• They are less likely to get deteriorated because extremely lower pressure is used in honing simple fixturing.
•  This modernized and versatile equipment is highly preferable in comparison to other types of boring finishing methods that require exceptional stock removal to prevent the honing materials from chucking into the spindle axis
