Attention firearm manufacturers and enthusiasts! Don't miss the opportunity to witness cutting-edge honing technology at the NSSF SHOT Show 2025. Sunnen Products Company will be showcasing their advanced HTE-1600W honing machine at booth 533318 from January 21-24 at the Venetian Expo + Caesars Forum in Las Vegas.

Why the HTE-1600W is a Game-Changer

The HTE-1600W represents the pinnacle of precision in firearm barrel manufacturing. This innovative machine is capable of honing gun barrels with internal diameters ranging from 4 to 20 mm and lengths up to 1,500 mm, making it versatile enough for various firearm types. Its all-electric design ensures consistent performance and easy maintenance, which are critical factors in precision firearm manufacturing. With 100% process control and tool overload protection, the HTE-1600W prevents tool breakage while maintaining high-quality standards for firearm barrels. Additionally, its active 3-axis function control provides superior bore geometry and high accuracy, essential for enhancing firearm performance.

Efficiency Meets Precision

Efficiency is a core focus of the HTE-1600W's design. The machine features a temperature-compensated spindle that ensures constant performance without warm-up time, significantly increasing production efficiency. The user-friendly Windows-based touchscreen control allows operators to store up to 999 tool-specific setups, facilitating easy adjustments for different firearm models and calibers. Variable stroke speeds enable precise control and optimization of the honing process for various barrel materials and designs.

Safety and Consistency

Safety and precision are paramount in firearm production, and the HTE-1600W addresses these concerns effectively. It includes an optional safety system that enhances operator protection, as well as a unique feed control system that automatically corrects tight sections in gun barrels to ensure a uniform bore diameter. The machine's traveling steady rest provides additional support for the tooling used for long gun barrels, maintaining precision during the honing process.

Flexibility and Long-Term Accuracy

The HTE-1600W offers compatibility with Sunnen MMT and LBT tools, providing flexibility for various small and long diameter bore applications in firearms. Its stroke repeatability within 0.006 inches (0.15 mm) guarantees consistent and precise honing results, which are critical for achieving firearm accuracy. Sunnen's commitment to maintaining accuracy over time is evident in the HTE-1600W's size lock system with stone wear compensation features that ensure consistent barrel quality across production runs while extending tool life and reducing production costs.
