The SV-1000 vertical honing system delivers precision honing to medium- to high-volume small bore applications, 3 mm to 65 mm (0.120" to 2.56"). The system features a new tool stroking system that offers more control and higher accuracy in bore geometry, size and finish. Typical applications include fuel injectors, hydraulic valves and valve bodies; gears including transmission and other precision gears; fiber, connecting rods, refrigeration components and gear hobs.
The system's stroker design creates a consistent pattern throughout the entire bore length. This design allows the machine to dwell in any part of the bore, end-to-end, to selectively remove stock for a precise bore.
The system incorporates a Windows-based control system with drop-down menus displayed on an industrial PC touchscreen color display. Storage capactiy for job setups is virtually unlimited. It also has a three-axis hand wheel control that allows operators to quickly "fine tune" the vertical stroke position and honing tool feed position.
