SVL-2115 Automated Lapping Machine

Sunnen's SVL-2115 automated lapping machine brings increased productivity and part consistency to what is traditionally a manual process. Based on the same proven SV-2115 honing system, the SVL-2115 provides single setup processing of hydraulic valves, sleeves, fuel system components and other parts that are prone to distortion when honed. The patented system control is designed for unattended operation and automatically laps and air gage bores throughout the cycle. Gage readings are fed back to the control and the cycle is repeated until the parts are within specifications.

CBN hones for improved surface finishing of machined superalloys

By its very nature, high-nickel, iron or cobalt alloy steels, including Monel, Inconel, Incoloy, Invar, Rene and Hasteloy, are some of the most difficult materials to machine. Because these superalloys are designed to deliver high strength at extremely high temperatures in components often found in “hot” sections of engines and turbines, the stresses and heat generated during machining are considerable.

Model MV-2L Swam-Blast Micro Sandblasters

The Model MV-2L Swam-Blast Micro Sandblasters introduce a precise amount of finely graded abrasive powder into a controlled stream of compressed air through the abrasive pathway and out a manually or automatically positioned nozzle tip. Total process control can be achieved with independently adjustable powder flow control and air pressure regulation.
