Vertical Honing

The SV-310 vertical CNC honing system combines multi-spindle machine configurations with wide tooling choices and a 762mm/30" stroke.


The SV-310 vertical CNC honing system combines multi-spindle machine configurations with wide tooling choices and a 762mm/30" stroke. A work envelope of 1,016mm x 1,778mm (40" x 70") and weight capacity up to 909kg (2,000 lb) provide versatility for processing a wide range parts. An optional tool-guide assembly and variety of borediameter gaging systems combine with a servo-controlled X-axis travel of 1143mm/45" to allow automated honing of multi-bore blocks with high precision. Straightness sensing capability provides a display of the bore profile during the cycle. Combined with a patented, servo stroking system, it allows the SV-310 to auto-dwell in any part of the bore to correct straightness automatically in the shortest cycle time. The SV-310 can be used to hone parts with inside diameters from 19mm to 200mm (0.75" to 8"), depending on the tool options selected.

Designed from the ground up for automated processing of mid- to high-part volumes, the SV-310 features full-height access doors and enclosure pre-configured for use with robotic part loading systems, while the CNC control includes a built-in automation interface. Setup is simplified with a three-axis hand wheel for fine-tuning X-axis position, vertical stroke, and tool feed. In addition to optional in-process air gaging, a variety of optional post-process air-gage systems can integrate with the control for SPC data collection, as well as automatic compensation of size, taper and straightness. The control allows easy programming of multiple bore positions.

Also on display will be the SV-1000 vertical CNC honing machine and the SV-500 vertical CNC honing system.
