Machine has Variable Speed Linear movement and spindle movement. Expansion of Honing Head Stones is controlled by Hydraulic Cylinders.The honing cycle is fully automatic. The operator has to clamp the component on the table and press the cycle start button. The honing tool rotates, reciprocates and expands and the operation cycle stops after preset time. Different types and grits of stones are used depending upon the material removal and surface finish requirements. This operation improves geometrical accuracies like Taper, Ovality, Roundness and improves Surface Finish by removal of tool chatter marks etc., increasing bearing contact area.
The machine is available in various special features depending on customer’s requirements. They are
- Hydraulic Clamping
- Auto Plug Gauging
- Double Expansion Tool
- Hydraulic Expansion
- Servo Expansion
- PLC/ CNC controls
- Index Table etc.
- Automatic Centralized Lubrication
