At IMTS 2016, Gehring will feature the Lifehone L630 from its new line of modular honing machines for precision metal components. Standard part applications that can be honed on this machine include sun gears, connecting rods, hydraulic sleeves and injector pump components. Depending on customer requirements and the product spectrum to be finished, the machine is equipped with matching honing units.
The Gehring honing control allows for precision controlled stroke speeds and reversal precisions. Optionally, the stroke is executed via a ball screw or a linear motor. The user-friendly and clear graphic interface of the Gehring operator panel (GOP), along with the program assistant, help simplify machine operation.
The L630 can be equipped with one or two honing spindles. Depending on the machining task and the batch size, the machine can be equipped with a fixed or rotary table and up to eight stations. These stations can also be used for measuring or brushing operations. The single-spindle version of the Lifehone series features a compact design and small footprint. The flexible two-spindle honing center allows for a two-stage honing process and shorter honing processing times.
Gehring will also present its entire portfolio of honing technologies and services, from position and form honing, laser structuring to contract honing, as well as displays of its tooling and abrasives.
Michael Schaefer, R&D Director of Gehring North American operations, will hold daily technology briefings in the booth’s Technology Zone, as well as a technical presentation titled “Advanced Honing Technology Solutions for Modern Manufacturing” on Thursday, September 15, 11 AM – 12 PM in room N-127.
