What Is a Honing Machine Used For? Honing machine is a kind of CNC machine tool equipment, mainly used in the automobile, tractor, hydraulic parts, bearing, aviation and other manufacturing industries to honing the hole of the workpiece. It uses the honing head to hone the workpiece to finish the surface, so as to achieve the required flatness. Honing machines can be divided into horizontal and vertical two kinds.

The horizontal honing machine has a long working stroke and is suitable for honing deep holes up to 3000 mm. The working principle is that the horizontal honing head does not rotate, only reciprocating axially, and the workpiece is rotated by the spindle. In the process of machining, the stone of the honing head is radial feed under the action of the expansion and contraction mechanism, and the workpiece is gradually processed to the required size.

Vertical honing machine spindle working stroke is short, suitable for honing cylinder and box hole. The working principle is that the honing head embedded with the oil stone is rotated by the vertical spindle, and the vertical reciprocating feed movement is driven by the hydraulic device.

As an excellent representative of automatic processing equipment, the honing machine has excellent performance, especially in drilling and dimensional grinding, and has relatively powerful functions.

Please note that the specific use mode and application scenario of the honing machine may vary according to different models, specifications and manufacturers. When using the honing machine, the operating specifications should be followed to ensure safe and effective processing operations.
