Sunnen Products Company, a global leader in high-precision honing, bore sizing and engine rebuilding equipment highlights its HTE-1600W Tube Hone, an all-electric precision honing machine designed for optimal bore geometry and surface finish in small diameter, long bore applications.
The HTE-1600W sets a new standard in bore finishing for the Firearms and Defense, Medical, Mining, and Energy industries. This innovative machine features an all-electric design, ensuring ease of maintenance and up to 90% efficiency. The HTE-1600W excels in processing parts with IDs from 4-20 mm and lengths up to 1,500 mm, delivering ideal bore geometry and surface finish.
At the heart of the HTE-1600W is advanced technology that drives superior performance. Its active 3-axis function control manages stroke positions, motion control, stone feed, spindle speed, and cutting pressure, resulting in high accuracy and superior bore geometry. The machine offers 100% process control with tool overload protection, preventing tool breakage and ensuring consistent results.
Compared to traditional bore lapping methods, the HTE-1600W offers significant advantages. It substantially reduces cycle time, decreasing processing time compared to manual bore lapping. The machine’s stroke repeatability within 0.006 in (0.15 mm) ensures consistent and precise honing results. A size lock system with stone wear compensation maintains accuracy over time and reduces the need for frequent adjustments.
The HTE-1600W’s design incorporates a one-piece base for improved performance and cost-effectiveness. Additionally, the machine’s traveling steady rest provides additional support for the tooling used with long workpieces, enhancing versatility.
The machine is compatible with Sunnen MMT and LBT tools, offering flexibility for various small, long diameter bore applications.
Sunnen’s commitment to quality is evident in the HTE-1600W’s 3-year warranty. The machine interface is available in 13 languages, enhancing its usability for operators worldwide. Additional features include a dual filtration system for clean honing fluid and improved part quality, and the ability to hone for time, number of strokes, or to a programmed diameter, offering flexibility to meet various part requirements.
