(Sunnen: St. Louis, MO) -- Sunnen Products Co. advances the state of honing technology with the new SV-3000 series vertical honing systems. The SV-3000 features a new Beckhoff-based industrial control with proprietary Sunnen2 software designed to include EtherCAT industrial communication for fast response time and increased process control. Sunnen will introduce the new SV-3000 series at IMTS 2022.

The powerful control system includes a large touch screen and capacity to program custom part load/unload operations, eliminating the need for a second control for automation. Through the touch screen, operators can make simple, intuitive adjustments of spindle speed, stroke rate, and tool feed during the honing cycle. Tool selection, setup mode, handling, expansion/retraction of tools, and more are all adjusted via the touch screen. A handwheel may also be used for stroke adjustment.
