Vertical honing machine comes with full-bore profile display

With two motors, one for the spindle and one for the stroker, Sunnen's new SV-10 has the capability to run traditional tools as well as Sunnen's new DH-series diamond hone head. According to the company, the DH-series diamond hone, with 16 points of cutting action generates truly round bores. The mechanical stroke guarantees precision surface finish with consistent crosshatch angle in each cylinder, no matter what tool is used.

Another new feature is the patented full bore profile display which projects a real-time graphical display of the bore cross section. This feature actually displays the geometry of the bore. There is no need for visualization and guesswork. A zoom feature maximizes the bore view. Also, during the cycle, the SV-10 lets the operator dwell the honing tool anywhere throughout the bore. The dwell pointer can be moved to the position where the bore is visually smaller and the tool will dwell there as long as necessary.

The SV-10 handles precision honing of 0.750 to 8.0-in. bores.
