Tube honing machine set to fulfil aerospace project

Specialist deep hole drilling, gun drilling and honing services provider, Premier has ordered a new OTW1000-5-2m horizontal honing machine from Ohio Tool Works Corporation.

In order to fulfil an aerospace component machining project,

The 1000 model is available in a variety of standard stroke configurations from 2m to 6m with spindle drives up to 7.46 kW. Honing diameters from 25.4mm or smaller through to 559mm. Variable spindle speed motors up to 1000rpm enable efficient processing using both conventional vitrified and metalbond superabrasives.

“We have purchased the OTW1000-5-2m as a turnkey project,” stated Premier's managing director, Stuart Grant. “As the components being machined required precise and consistent size control, we specified the optional Medium Size Control System which offers accurate and dependable size control to 12.5 micron, or better when metalbond abrasives are applied.”

The control system is integrated with the touchscreen numerical control system, allowing the operator to program the machine on the shopfloor whilst performing other secondary tasks during the honing cycle.
