MACHINE HIGHLIGHTS

Machine Highlights Honing Spindle

• Precision Spindle coupled to Allen Bradley (AB) Servo motor via ball spline
•AB Servo controlled stroking system mounted on linear slide and precision ball screw
• up to 2 spindles Gauging – Post Process
• AB Servo controlled for accurate positioning
•Precision pneumatic gage provides feed back for automatic tool wear compensation
•SPC capability Gauging – In-Process
•Bore size and production rates permitting, precision pneumatic gage engineered into the honing spindle provides all the benefits of post process gauging while
eliminating a station resulting in cost and floor space savings
Controls
•AB control logix PLC and
•Windows PC based HMI Hydraulic System
•Compact power unit integral to the machine base . Necessary for dual expansion option only

Dual – Mechanical / Hydraulic Tool Expansion – Bore size and production rates permitting, both roughing and finishing can be incorporated into one spindle.

Mechanical Expansion System

•Servo controlled mechanical tool expansion system provides controlled feed rate and expansion force
•Integrated with gauging system for automatic tool wear compensation
•Constant tool feed expansion and torque monitoring for tighter bore quality control
•Expands roughing tool in the dual mode operation and provides stock removal and geometry control Hydraulic Expansion System Fully integrated with the mechanical expansion system and the gauging, actuates the finishing tool in the honing spindle and provides fine finishes

HIGH PERFORMANCE TOOLING AND ABRASIVE SOLUTIONS

Nagel offers a complete line of Diamond and CBN tooling for both conventional stroke honing and single pass “precidor” honing applications from our State of the art 125,000 Sq. Ft. manufacturing facility in Ann Arbor, MI.

Based on the bore configuration, size, material and incoming condition, we customize tool and matrix to maximize bore accuracy, enhance cutting characteristics and minimize per piece honing costs.

Abrasives are “predressed” as part of our manufacturing process to yield “first part good part”.
