Honing Machines

If you need a superior surface finish and a high degree of dimensional control for a component or a bore, honing machines or honing grinders are the ideal machining systems. Honing is a super finishing operation and has less of a material removal rate compared to conventional grinding.

Automobile components, metrological instruments and aerospace equipment spares require honing operations for superior surface finish and high dimensional accuracy. Common examples of honed components are piston-cylinder assembly, gear trains and snap gauges.

Traditional honing or hone machines require manual feed for either the honing tool or the component. Modern CNC honing machines have a programmable feed facility for the honing tool as well as for the component. These modern honing machines also provide the capability to use multiple honing tools with minimal tool changing time.

Some of the important parameters you must consider before buying a hone machine are:

Material of the component
Dimensions and tolerance requirements
Desired surface finish
Spindle speed variations for the honing machine
