Machine Details
PVT High Volume (Large Capacity) Honing
The Nagel PVT is a high-volume, vertical production honing machine engineered for precision bore machining. Part of Nagel’s VS high-capacity series, the PVT handles bore diameters ranging from 4 mm to 60 mm with high stock removal rates, robust automation integration, and tight geometrical tolerances.
Technical Specifications
- Bore Size Capacity: 4 to 60 mm
- Spindle RPM: 350 – 1750 RPM
- Spindle Stroke (Oscillation): Up to 300 mm
- Stroke Speed: Up to 30 m/min
- Utilities: 400/480 V, 50/60 Hz, 3-phase AC; 60 psi pneumatic line pressure
Core Features
- Tool Expansion Systems: Servo-controlled mechanical expansion for rapid stock removal alongside hydraulic expansion for superior surface finish.
- Automation Ready: Designed for automatic part-transfer mechanisms between stations and full integration into high-volume manufacturing lines.
- Process Control: Windows-based HMI running PLC controls with integrated SPC data capabilities, post-process air gauging, and automatic tool wear compensation.
- Monitoring Systems: Centralized fluid management tracking coolant flow, reservoir levels, dirty filter states, and pneumatic pressure thresholds.
