Sunnen SV-45 honing machine accommodates taller and deeper workpieces

Sunnen has expanded its vertical honing machine portfolio with the SV-45, designed for taller workpieces and deeper bores.

An extended column provides 17.5 in. more stroke length than the SV-35. Maximum stroke is 47.25 in. (1,200 mm). The machine has spindle speeds from 50 to 600 rpm, a 4.55 hp servo spindle and a 4.7 hp servo ball screw stroking system.

The SV-45 provides 32 in. of X-axis carriage travel and accommodates workpiece and fixture weights up to 1,325 lb. within a 48 in. by 30 in. work envelope. A standard 55-gallon honing oil reservoir includes integrated filtration.

The Sunnen2 touchscreen control supports setup, process control and real-time monitoring. Synchronized spindle and stroker mechanisms maintain a consistent crosshatch finish while minimizing rollover at bore entrances and exits, according to the company.

The machine includes automatic tool protection, programmable process controls, a cast iron column, welded base and front-loading architecture.
