Sunnen’s new SH-5000 horizontal honing machine introduces a low-cost, automation-ready option for high-volume processing of smaller parts, such as gears, turbocharger bushings, valve components and pistol barrels. It handles parts with bore diameters from 1.5 to 101.6 mm (0.060” – 4.0”), and is capable of processing a wide variety of part sizes, configurations, and materials. The machine’s 225-mm (9-inch) touchscreen control features infinite part program storage and intuitive setup and run screens to allow inexperienced operators to run the machine as efficiently as a veteran. “Saved” setups in the control ensure fast changeover and high productivity.
