In the world of precision manufacturing, achieving flawless bore finishing is paramount. Sunnen Products Company, a global leader in the field for over a century, continues to push the boundaries of what's possible with its advanced SV Systems for high-production honing. These vertical honing systems are engineered to deliver unmatched precision, flexibility, and efficiency, making them an ideal solution for a wide range of industrial applications.
Sunnen's SV Systems are not just machines; they are complete high-production solutions tailored to meet the unique demands of each application. With options for multiple columns, air gauging, brushing, and more, these systems can be customized to optimize performance and streamline the honing process. Sunnen provides everything from the machine to the fixturing, automation, tooling, abrasives, and coolants.
At the heart of the SV Systems is a powerful servo spindle motor that provides the muscle needed for efficient honing operations. Advanced servo stroke control enables precise honing, including short stroking and dwelling capabilities, which results in straighter and rounder bores. The synchronized servo stroke and spindle functions ensure a consistent crosshatch finish throughout the bore, guaranteeing uniform surface finishes from end to end.
The intuitive, Windows-based PC control system simplifies operation and minimizes setup time. The new Sunnen 2 control prioritizes ease of use, featuring a bore profile display that shows bore straightness during the cycle, enabling real-time monitoring and adjustments. Multiple tooling options accommodate various honing tools for different applications and bore sizes. User-role based permissions allow configurable, multi-level access depending on the user.
Designed for seamless integration with robotic systems, the SV Systems offer an optional automation interface for 24/7 operation. The heavy-duty construction ensures superior performance and a long, trouble-free life, while the EtherCAT industrial communications protocol minimizes machine response time and maximizes control. LED work area lighting improves visibility during operation, enhancing operator efficiency and safety.
Safety is a top priority in the SV Systems design. They boast advanced safety features including a safety PLC, Safe Drive System, and secondary stroker brake. All models, including the SV35, SV3000, SV3100, SV3400, and SV3500 series, comply with the European Machinery Directive (CE). Beckhoff electronics with large color touchscreens and a multi-axis handwheel help reduce setup time and increase machine uptime. The optional post-process gauging system allows for data collection and machine process control to sub-micron tolerances. Selectable inch/metric units and multiple screen-selectable languages facilitate use in various global markets.
Sunnen's in-house code development allows for flexible and modular machine designs, enabling the honing process to be tailored to the application for maximum performance and efficiency. And with a 3-year warranty, you can be confident in the reliability and durability of your Sunnen honing machine.
