Scalable Modular Honing Machine

The SV-1000 series vertical CNC honing machine is engineered to scale up from a single-spindle machine to a fully automated multi-spindle unit for ultra-precise bore sizing and finishing. Designed for part diameters ranging from 0.120" to 2.56" (3 to 65 mm), the machine can size bores to accuracies of 0.00001" (0.25 µm). The machine is suited for diesel fuel injectors, gears, small engine cylinders and connecting rods, hydraulic/pneumatic components and medical devices in medium to high volumes.

The basic single-spindle module is designed for future automation with removable side enclosure panels to facilitate flow-through part processing. It is available with a fixed tooling plate or servo rotary table with 12-position rotary air union for fixture control. The machine’s cast-polymer base provides vibration damping and structural rigidity.

Fully automated versions can be specified with the servo rotary table or linear part transfer, integrated part handling systems and as many as four spindles. For unmanned cellular processing, the machine can be equipped with integrated post-process air gaging to provide closed-loop control of bore size and geometry. Post-process air gaging with one to four servo columns can provide size, taper and straightness feedback control. Matched with CGT Krossgrinding tools or MMT multi-stone mandrels, the air-gage-equipped machine can automatically control hole size to accuracies of 0.00001" (0.25 µm). A match-honing package can also be added.
