When manufacturing demands tighter tolerances, stronger process control and greater production efficiency, the right technology makes all the difference. At IMTS 2026, Sunnen will showcase its latest innovations in honing, dimensional metrology, tooling and deep-hole machining, giving attendees the opportunity to explore solutions designed for today’s most demanding bore-sizing and finishing applications.
Visit Sunnen at Booth #237330 from September 14–19 at McCormick Place in Chicago to experience advanced equipment, live demonstrations and conversations with technical experts who understand the realities of modern manufacturing.
Explore New Gaging Capabilities
A featured attraction at the Sunnen booth will be the PGA-1000 Air Gage, Sunnen’s first dedicated benchtop air-gaging system. Built for fast, reliable and highly accurate dimensional measurement, the PGA-1000 is available in single-master and dual-master configurations, providing a modern option for manufacturers seeking to replace legacy Mahr Federal Dimensionair® or Western Gauge Micro 2 systems.
The PGA-1000 combines an intuitive 5-inch touchscreen interface with real-time statistical process control capabilities, multiple display modes and flexible data-export options. Compatible with a broad range of air probes and configurable accessories, it is engineered to support both production-floor measurement needs and quality-laboratory applications.
Advance Your Honing Process
Sunnen will also feature the next-generation Sunnen2 control system for its horizontal honing systems. Evolved from the company’s high-performance vertical honing solutions, the Sunnen2 control brings advanced process capability to Sunnen’s horizontal machine line.
For manufacturers focused on improving productivity without compromising bore geometry or surface-finish requirements, this technology offers a path toward more consistent, efficient operations. Attendees can learn how the control system supports repeatable processes across demanding honing applications.
The SV-3015 Vertical Honing Machine with an integrated air-gaging column will also be on display. Combining automation, precision control and application flexibility, the SV-3015 is designed to handle a range of bore-sizing and finishing requirements for both small and larger workpieces. Its high spindle speeds, programmable process control and adaptable work area make it well suited for demanding production environments.
Watch Deep-Hole Drilling Live
Visitors will have an opportunity to see a working deep-hole drilling demonstration at the Sunnen booth. The demonstration highlights Sunnen’s recently announced strategic alliance with TIBO Tiefbohrtechnik GmbH and showcases deep-hole drilling and rifling capabilities that complement Sunnen’s established honing and bore-finishing expertise.
Alongside the machinery demonstrations, attendees can explore Sunnen’s precision tooling and gaging portfolio, solutions developed to help manufacturers pursue tighter tolerances, improved surface finishes and repeatable, reliable processes.
Plan Your Booth Visit
IMTS is an opportunity to move beyond specifications and see manufacturing technology in action. Whether your operation is evaluating a replacement air-gaging system, seeking to improve honing consistency, addressing complex bore-finishing needs or exploring deep-hole drilling and rifling capabilities, Sunnen’s technical team will be available to discuss application-specific solutions.
Make plans to visit Sunnen at Booth #237330 during IMTS 2026, September 14–19, at McCormick Place in Chicago. Experience the technology, see the live demonstration and discover how an integrated approach to honing, gaging, tooling and deep-hole machining can help streamline your operation.
