Honing Professional Proposes Standardized Solution Requiring Only Six flexible diameter Mandrel Sizes
Flexible Diameter Mandrels: A mandrel, which can be used for different diameters within a range of 5 mm using attachments. this solution allowed 35 different machining diameters to be catered to with just six mandrels, thereby enabling the manufacturer to transition to a mechanized approach with minimum initial investment.
Increased Efficiency: Processing time before final finishing was reduced to one minute per component.
Stable Precision: By setting numerical machining parameters, it was possible to deliver consistent precision without relying on operator’s intuition.
Within a few days, the honing specialist introduced the employee to NISSIN ProSOL a comprehensive honing machine manufacturer. NISSIN ProSOL representative visited the manufacturer’s plant and proposed several solutions.
The employee reflected on the proposals made by NISSIN ProSOL:
“NISSIN ProSOL’s honing machine allowed for flexible diameter mandrels that supported our range of diameters. Six mandrels designed in 5mm increments, could handle all 35 internal diameters. The ability to set machining conditions numerically eliminated reliance on operator intuition, offering stable precision. It was a game changer.”
The manufacturer decided to conduct a test run using a NISSIN ProSOL honing machine. The result was remarkable.
Pre-Finishing Efficiency: Achieved submicron accuracy, with each component processed in just one minute.
Final Finishing Simplified: Lapping to remove the 0.5 to 1 µm took only five to ten minutes.
Satisfied with the results, the manufacturer installed the G25-MM1 honing machine from NISSIN ProSOL.
The employee commented, “The use of flexible diameter mandrels allowed us to minimize initial investment, enabling the mechanization of the process, and resolving our staffing issues. We are also very satisfied with NISSIN ProSOL’s advice about honing processing and comprehensive after-sales service”
By drastically reducing manual processing time, the manufacturer improved production efficiency, achieved cost reductions and created a system to pass on technical expertise.
