It is primarily used to finish the inner surfaces of hole-type parts to improve their dimensional accuracy, shape accuracy (such as roundness and cylindricity), and surface roughness. It is widely used in the automotive, aerospace, precision molds, and hydraulic components industries, such as machining engine blocks, hydraulic cylinder barrels, and gear bores.

[0003] When the existing honing device is installed and used, since the honing cutter used for honing is a flexible tooling, a conventional rotary disc honing machine can be used for processing workpieces with equal height holes. However, for workpieces with unequal heights, since the honing starting point and ending point of each workpiece are not consistent, if the traditional processing method is used, it will cause low efficiency, inconsistent precision, and even cause risks such as interference and machine tool collision, which brings certain adverse effects to people's use process. In order to solve the shortcomings of the existing technology, we propose a batch honing device and honing method for the inner holes of non-equal height workpieces. Summary of the Invention
