Engineered for robotic part loading of landing gear components, bearing sleeves, cylinder liners, motorcycle/ATV engines, multi-bore gas/diesel blocks, or 2-cycle power equipment engines. Servo X-axis allows automated step-and-repeat work.

Capable of sizing and finishing bores to submicron accuracy, uniquely versatile conventional honing machine can do single-pass work, too - in mid to high production volumes

Forest City Gear President Fred Young has a straightforward philosophy for acquiring and retaining business. The company's strategic directive is: "Excellence without Exception." It boils down to always giving the customer a higher level of quality than specified on a print - or in any other interaction with a customer. "The goal is to do this without adding much cost or time to a job," Young explains. "We do everything we can to distinguish our product from competitors', and we try to do it inexpensively. On bore-type gears, we have found that automated honing is a good way to give the customer tighter control of bore size, roundness, straightness and finish. The customer notices the difference in a smoother, quieter, more efficient drive, and unless we stumble in some other aspect of the job, we will have a repeat customer. The trick in gear manufacturing is to add this value without adding cost for the customer."

New SV-500 brings fast cycle times, modular multi-spindle processing flexibility, and automation capability on bores to 12" in mid to high production volumes

Since gasoline burned and forced a piston down a cylinder for the first time, aluminum has been the metal of choice when light weight was the most critical requirement for an internal combustion engine. This is as true today as it was in 1902 when the Wright Brothers were unable to purchase a suitable commercial engine for their experimental airplane and built their own, casting the aluminum block.

Lincolnshire, IL - HydraForce, Inc., President and CEO Jim Brizzolara credits lessons learned on a Sunnen hone at his first job in 1966 in a hydraulic valve factory with helping him understand how precision bore finish and geometry can fine-tune the performance of a valve. Fast-forward to 2007, and Brizzolara has used that knowledge to help build the company he co-founded in 1985 into the world's leading supplier of cartridge valves and integrated circuit manifolds. With sales doubling in the last three years, HydraForce produces more than 7 million cartridge valves per year, releasing a new design to production almost every day.

Sunnen's PG-Series Bore Gages are ideal for fast, simple, economical process control in a lean manufacturing environment, combining lab-precise accuracy (±0.000025"/0.0006mm) with a shop-hardened, all-mechanical design. PG-Series gages - to be demonstrated at Sunnen's IMTS booth No. B-7200 - bring reliable ID gaging to the manufacturing floor with no need for electrical or air connections, making them immune to fluctuations in line voltage or air pressure. A single PG gage can measure a wide range of part diameters, offering greater versatility at a lower cost than dedicated devices, such as air gages.

SV-1005 series machines capable of accuracy to 0.25µm for hole diameters 3-65 mm. Ideal for low-cost, high-Cpk production of hydraulic valves/bodies, small engines, fuel injectors, gears, gun barrels and compressor parts.

Precision size, geometry and surface of cylinder bores improve sealing and component life, while IC engines increase power density with lower exhaust emissions

Classic Browning machine gun is straighter shooter with bore geometry and surface finish exceeding spec - earning preferred status with American troops.

Thanks to recent advances in honing technology, Sunnen Products Company can help gear manufacturers achieve greater precision and increase productivity 60 percent or more over previous honing machines or I.D. grinding.

Sunnen Products Company has introduced new technology to help hydraulic component manufacturers conform to "zero-leak" standards and greatly reduce warranty issues due to component leakage.

New honing technology from Sunnen Products Company can help small engine manufacturers meet or exceed today's strict emissions standards.

Sunnen is recruiting new engineering graduates to be part of its Engineer Orienteering Program.

Sunnen's High Production Helix Tools offers longer life, increased stock remvoval and the precision you've come to expect from the worldwide leaders in bore sizing and finishing. And the High Production Helix tools are competitively priced.

Sunnen's SV-10 Automatic Cylinder Hone combines the latest technology with the consistency and dependability of the legendary CV-616.

 Sunnen Products Company's new fully-loaded ML-5000 is built for speed and precision and is the most advanced horizontal power stroked honing machine on the market.

Sunnen Products Company has introduced two new tool designs for medium and high production bore sizing. The new generation High-Helix Single Stroke Honing® tools and the TurboHone® high-production multi-stone mandrels are designed to increase production and save time and money.

The Model GH-210 Horizontal Honing Machine from Sunnen continues the company's heavy-duty honing tradition with a versatile design geared to perform a wide variety of large honing applications efficiently and accurately.
