What is a Sunnen hone?

Mandrels are tools used to keep abrasive stones in place during the honing process. Sunnen offers a broad range of honing tools and mandrels for almost every application and bore size. Our mandrels can handle diameters from 1,52 to 1524 mm (. 060 to 60 inches).

What is a Sunnen honing machine?

Honing machines offer an ultra-precise machining procedure trusted by job shops and high-production manufacturers to create parts that perform at the highest levels of speed and efficiency. No boring or grinding process is capable of delivering such fine levels of roundness, straightness and surface detail.

How do you use a Sunnen cylinder hone?

Apply Sunnen Honing Oil liberally at first, then shut off oil flow so that a slurry is formed. Continue honing until entire cutting surface of stone contacts sleeve. You are now ready to hone cylinder.

What are honing tools for?

The purpose of the hone tool is to transmit the power generated by the machine to the work piece. Honing will correct the bore for taper, size, finish and straightness, but cannot normally correct axial alignment or location.

What is a horizontal honing machine?

Horizontal honing machines LYOR are distinguished by their rigidity and power. A hydraulic cylinder controls the honing head movement. Three phase electric motor controlled by a vector inverter, servo-ventilated controlling the spindle rotation.

How accurate is honing?

A honing machine is relatively inaccurate and imperfect. Instead of relying on the accuracy of the machine tool, it relies on the averaging effect between the stone and the workpiece.

Which operation is usually performed after polishing?

Explanation: Honing: Honing is an abrading process mostly used for polishing bored and reamed holes and external cylindrical surfaces using bonded abrasive stones (called hones). Most honing is done on an internal cylindrical surface, such as automobile cylindrical walls.
