Rottler H85AX

CNC Automatic Vertical Honing Machine with Hole-to-Hole Automation

Machine Operations

Cylinder Honing
Liner Honing

Overview

The H85AX hones a complete line of cylinders - automatically! Hone a complete V block unattended with optional auto-rotate V fixture. Automatic lower crash protection safeguards stones and holders from unexpected - and expensive - damage, keeping jobs on time and on budget. The automatic load control gives perfectly round and straight cylinders, and automatic CNC control finishes very cylinder to the same size. Because the H85X accepts both diamond and CBN abrasives, shops get the perfect surface finish no matter the block construction.

Features

Special Version Production Machine that can move automatically in X axis for programmable hole-to-hole block honing - hones a line of cylinders unattended. Automatic Lower Crash Protection System Many Engine Blocks have interference in the lower area of the bores and can damage honing stones and holders. Everytime the H85X starts honing a cylinder, the machine will check bores for interference avoiding potential damage to honing stones and holders. Variances in lower bores are common. Rottler H85X Control senses lower bore interference prior to rotation and stroking stroking motion starting at full power, eliminating any stone or holder damage.

Standard Equipment

  • Automatic Lower Crash Protection System – every time cycle start is activated, the machine will check that the stones will not interfere with lower bore before starting rotation and stroking preventing stone and stone holder damage.
  • Spindle Taper with Quick Change System - change hone heads in seconds without any wrenches
  • Automatic Honing Stone retract at End of Cycle – the machine will automatically retract the stones during last stroke so that the stones do not leave any scratches or marks in the bore.
  • Automatic Cross Hatch Angle System – the machine will automatically adjust parameters to programmed cross hatch angle and finish the bore to programmed angle.
  • Automatic Roughing and Finishing Load Sensing System - machine short strokes or dwells anywhere it senses a tight area.
  • Electronic Hand Wheel for lowering hone head into each bore
  • Automatic Stone Feed-out System - once hone head is positioned in the bore, the machine automatically expands stones and rotates slowly before starting hone cycle
  • Automatic Plateau Brush Finish Program - the machine automatically expands plateau brushes to programmed load and counts down number of plateau strokes, then withdraws the brushes and retracts to the clearance position.

Control

Rottler Software is designed with Simplicity in mind.Conversational software allows operators to quickly and easily learn and create their own programs. It takes only a few minutes to create a new program for a new block then it is saved for future recall and use.
