“Customer feedback across the board showed a need for high-quality finishes, better roundness and better straightness on large parts such as mud pump liners,” said Bachmeier. “The SV-560 allows us to meet all these requirements.” Auto-
matic geometry correction and auto-dwell capabilities provide excellent bore straightness and handle blind bores with ease. The SV-560’s electromechanical design also provides servo- accurate performance and eliminates the drift inherent to hydraulic machines.

“This is a very easy machine to oper- ate,” said Bachmeier. “Once we get the specs dialed in, we tell the operators to just load and unload the parts and don’t touch anything else.” The shop also recently acquired four Sunnen dial bore gages to measure for the bore variation of finished parts.

According to Bachmeier, major factors when acquiring new equipment are the quality of the parts the machine turns out and its versatility. “The ability to take care of our customers quickly and provide high-quality parts to spec is key to our business success,” he said. “Turnaround times are getting shorter and shorter, and sometimes the ability to deliver on time is the differ- ence between getting a job or not. So, we need our equipment to be versatile, reliable and easy to set up.” The SV- 560 features an intuitive interface and advanced Windows-based PC control to simplify the honing process and allow anyone with multiaxis experience to run the machine like an expert.
Even with the increased size capabil- ity and business that Damen garnered from acquiring the new hone, the company still budgeted room for future growth. “Right now we’re honing 4–9" [101.6–228.6 mm] diameter holes on parts 15 to 30" [381–762-mm] long,” said Bachmeier. “So, with the 60" [1524-mm] stroke, we can handle even larger parts, before we’ll have to look at one of those huge tube hones.
