Vertical Honing Machines

There are some special features of the Honing machine that makes it unique, they are:

• The honing head is guided on strong, tough and hard chrome plated guide bars.
• The sliding motion is shock less and smooth.
• Hydraulically variable spindle speed and reciprocation speed.
• Hydraulic hone expansion controls constant pressure on stones.
• Number of Strokes for Roughing & finishing can be set on PLC.
• Completely tooled up machine in ready to use condition.
• Very compact and optimally designed hydraulic system ensures smooth and trouble free operation.

The honing process is well controlled and set with the help of a renowned brand of smart PLC system with which is well equipped in the machine. Different parameters like, reciprocation speed, rotating speed (rpm)and number of cycles completed are displayed by the control system.

The working parameters like, number of strokes and dwelling of honing tool at operator desired position can be quickly adjusted. To set the cutting parameters like spindle speed stroking speed and stones pressure, hydraulic controls are provided. Setting the crosshatch pattern to the desired angle. A flat panel MMI with LCD display is the communication media with the machine is helped by PLC Control. Fixture expansion capabilities are also there in the PLC.

KHUSHBU ENGINEERS offers Single Pass Honing Machine for higher productivity and accuracy of bore geometry. Very Close tolerances can be achieved consistently with required surface finish through single pass honing process.

In Single pass honing, a rotating Diamond impregnated tool is passed once through the bore. Either the Tool or the Job is floating. Material removal is done by diamond cutting points. High wear resistance of Diamond impregnated tool ensures the repeatability of the bore size within 0.001 to 0.003mm. While, bore Roundness, Straightness and Surface Finish can be achieved within desired tolerance.

Life of Diamond plated tool is extensively high, resulting in low cost operation. It is applicable for any type of bore like through stepped or blind and almost all type of material combinations.

Single Pass Honing operation reduces the cycle time resulting in higher productivity. With automation, production rate of 400 Nos./hour can be achieved. It is very simple operation as compared to conventional honing. Features of the Single Pass Honing Machine are Servo Controlled Vertical Motion and Indexing, SEIMENS, MITSUBISHI Controller, CNC Index Table, Ball screw & LM guide, Automatic Lubrication System, Overload sensors, Precision class Spindle bearing, Stroke length 450mm, Variable Spindle Speed, Compact Machine base, Interlocks 8 hp Power Consumption, etc. with one year warranty.

Benefits of the Single Pass Honing Machine are Higher production rate, Low operation cost, Low labor cost, Quality consistency, Bore geometry improvement, Frequent inspection not required etc.
