(Sunnen Products: St. Louis, MO) -- Sunnen Product’s new SV-2010 AXYS CNC honing system is designed to solve the challenge of honing large, heavy parts such as cast-iron hydraulic valve blocks and bolted assemblies common to heavy-duty machinery used in the mining, off-road, and construction industries. These parts are historically difficult to fixture and hone, but the SV2010 AXYS allows for cost-efficient production of these applications.

The machine is built around Sunnen’s SV-2000 series honing column. The system integrates the vertical honing column with a high-resolution (20-million pixel) industrial camera and a heavy-duty i5 CNC-controlled servo X-Y table to facilitate precise bore-positioning accuracy to 0.02 mm (0.0008 in).
