These honing units combine compact construction with highly-dynamic direct drives both for linear stroking and for rotation, together with an ultra high-precision hone expansion motor. For optimal results, we adapt the machines individually to your specific requirements. For this purpose, we build our systems from standardized modular units and integrate all essential peripheral devices. This saves both time and money and simplifies start-up. “Plug and Hone” is our name for this method. Whether single-spindle or multi-spindle systems in transfer, NC or rotary table versions, with pre-gaging, in-process gaging or high-precision post-process gaging, whether with upstream, intermediate or downstream deburring … a large number of possible combinations can be implemented. All KADIA honing machines operate on the basis of the “keyhole principle”. Workpieces leave the machine after processing in exactly the same position in which they were fed into the machine. This reduces the complexity and cost of an additional handling system, all our machines conform to the latest state of the art and also of course to the outstanding KADIA quality.
