Honing Process Characteristics and Advanced Honing Tools

Honing is mainly used for machining precision holes, such as engine cylinder bore surface, compressor cylinder hole, connecting rod, pump body and the control block, etc.

In addition to high machining accuracy, high roundness of form accuracy, high cylindricity and high surface quality, it is conducive to the formation of oil film because the surface has crossed lines.

As a result, the service lives of the processed workpieces are often longer than other processing methods, particularly applicable to high precision matching parts with high relative motion. The processing range of honing can be wider. In addition to through-hole, it can be used to machine interrupted holes, blind holes, trochoid hole, planar, spherical surface and tooth surface, and also can process many metal materials.

A company in Germany is specialized in the production of honing head. Their products were originally used only for special honing machine, but in 2006, they developed new products that can complete the honing process, and customers do not need special honing machines, which is immediately welcomed by automobile, aerospace, marine and many industries that need hydraulic system.

It can not only enlarge the functions of machining center, but also promote the parts processing process, greatly improving the machining efficiency and the machining accuracy, and saving the investment and operating costs.
