Two generating-gear transformations create conjugate bevel honing tools on standard machines, improving flank finish and tool life.
By relocating rotary drive to an expansion-bar receptacle, this honing sleeve cuts slot cracking, vibration, and maintenance costs.
Standardized transverse bores and bolt guides speed honing-tool assembly while reducing vibration and noise across multiple diameter ranges.
Interchangeable support bar units configure honing tools across diameter ranges while reducing assembly complexity, vibration, and noise.
A double-infeed honing tool uses independently adjustable cutting groups and irregular guide opening pitches for complex bores.
Segmented honing segments create a compensated bottle-shaped bore that counters cylinder distortion, reducing friction and improving piston ring sealing.
Segmented cutting carriers with elastic intermediate layers maintain uniform surface structure on non-cylindrical bores, preventing uneven material removal.
Segmented rotary table moves crankcases through vertical and horizontal stations to machine orthogonal bores without reclamping.
