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.

The Guyson Corp. of U.S.A. just completed an extended-height custom RSSA-6 for precision shot peening critical helicopter main gear box rotor shafts. This system complies with AMS 2430 and is capable of bar-code scanning customers routing's containing alpha numeric part numbers.

The future development impetus for the internal combustion engine will focus on the reduction of CO2 emissions. This is dependent upon fuel consumption, which in turn is determined by the internal engine friction. The goal of form honing is a form optimized cylinder bore under typical operating conditions. Gehring has developed a surface finishing process for internal combustion engines that does not target a cylindrical bore shape.

Walter Surface Technologies has introduced a new, innovative and powerful abrasive for aluminum blending and finishing, the Enduro-Flex ALU flap disc. The Enduro-Flex ALU flap disc was developed to overcome the challenges that come with working with heat-sensitive metals such as aluminum and other nonferrous alloys.

ABCO Automation offers SmartForce, a self-contained turnkey grinding, deburring and polishing robotic cell. Developed in conjunction with 3M, KUKA and PushCorp, SmartForce is a flexible automation solution for manual machining processes.

The new Oncilla wet blast machine incorporates blast chamber, washing, drying, elutriation tower, control and robot handling units in a single compact, high-performance system.

Pneumatic and hydraulic cylinders are omnipresent. Whether as compressed air cylinders on boot lids, on a lifting platform in the workshop or in highly complex machines that make modern construction projects possible. The following applies to all of them: They have high demands with regard to low-wear movement and a long service life. Therefore, the requirements for the fit between piston and seal represent a challenge for every piston rod manufacturer and are - in the truest sense of the word - real precision work.

Walter Surface Technologies released two choices for polishing and finishing projects: Instant Polish for fast, single-step finishes and Ultimate Shine for superior mirror finishes.
