Technical Specifications

For a detailed understanding, here are the technical specifications of the Single Spindle Vertical Expansion Honing Machine:

Case History Overview:

Material: FG 260 - This is a type of cast iron commonly used for machining due to its good machinability and strength.

Bore Type: Blind Bore - A bore that does not go all the way through the material; it has a closed end.

Dimensions

Diameter: Ø38.1 (+0.020/+0.035) - The nominal diameter of the bore is 38.1 mm, with a permissible variation of +0.020 mm to +0.035 mm.

Length: 60 mm - The length of the bore is 60 millimetres.

Tolerances and Stock Removal

Stock Removal: 0.040 mm - This is the amount of material to be removed from the rough state to achieve the final dimensions.

Rough Dimensions: Ø38.09 - Ø38.12 - This is the range of the bore diameter after the initial roughing process.

Finish Dimensions: Ø38.12 - Ø38.13 - This is the target range for the final finished bore diameter.

Bore Quality

Size Tolerance: Ø38.120/Ø38.135 - The bore should fall within this range to be considered acceptable.

Achieved Size: Ø38.128 - The actual size achieved, which is within the specified tolerance range.

Cylindricity: 0.01 mm - The bore should have a cylindricity (how much the bore deviates from a perfect cylinder) of no more than 0.01 mm. The achieved cylindricity is 0.008 mm, which meets the requirement.

Surface Finish: 0.635 Ra - The required surface finish of the bore is 0.635 µm (Ra stands for average roughness). The achieved finish is 0.4 µm, which is better than the required specification.

Machine and Tools

Machine Type: ABE10550 - This is the machine used for the honing process, likely a specific model designed for precision work.

Coolant: ABHI HONING OIL (AB 150) - The type of honing oil used to cool and lubricate the honing process.

Production Details

Production Rate: 60 Nos/Hour - The production rate of the process is 60 pieces per hour, indicating the efficiency and speed of the machining process.

Application

Cylinder Housing: The bore is used in a cylinder housing, likely for an engine or similar application, where precise dimensions and surface finish are critical.
