The spindle carriage is reciprocated along the ways on recirculating roller bearings which provide smooth, friction free motion under any load. To obtain maximum positive control of the stroke, this assembly is reciprocated by a heavy-duty hydraulic cylinder attached directly to the head.
Work holding fixtures are adjustable up to 13-1/2". Full contact clamping for minimal distortion of a thin walled work piece.
To facilitate work handling and provide the operator with an unobstructed view, the centerpiece of the spindle is 46" above the floor.
LED read-out provided for spindle RPM and stroke speed. DNC program stroke setting. LCD read-out for time.
Rayon-media coolant filter. The Century is a self-contained, horizontal honing machine.
Solenoid-controlled directional valves meet ISO standards. Valves and 15 HP hydraulic pump motor are positioned for easy service.
