New Control System Doubles Honing Machine’s Productivity
The HTG machine with Sunnen Products Co., St. Louis, can hone tubes from 2 to 24 in. inside diameter (ID) in 2-m increments up to 14 m (46 ft) long. The Sunnen team decided to make some control upgrades to enable higher material removal rates and improve operating stability.
The decision was made to replace the analog controls with an RMC75P two-axis electro-hydraulic motion controller from Delta Computer Systems.
Using the advanced control features that Delta built into RMCTools, a new feed methodology was developed in the company that in some cases doubled the rate at which material was removed from the inside of the tube.

Increase The Productivity of Your Gleason ZH 250 Power Honing Machine.
August 1, 2013
In developing our newest gear honing machine, the 150SPH Power Honing Machine, Gleason has identified a number of process improvements that may be applied to your existing ZH 250 with Siemens 840D controls, increasing the performance of your machine.
Machine set-up time is the time in which no work can be processed on a machine, yet the machine asset still represents a cost to your company. In order to keep this time as short as possible Gleason has developed the "Gleason First Dressing Cycle".
It enables you to reduce by as much as 50% the initial set-up time after changing to a new honing wheel when using Gleason Opti-Form® Honing Wheels. These honing wheels have been roughly pre-dressed by Gleason and when used in conjunction with our new Software Option ”Gleason First Dressing Cycle“, allow you to realize this decisive time and cost advantage.
The machine honing software calculates the necessary amount of material to be dressed from the wheel and performs the Special Cycle. This type of Dressing Cycle is different from the standard Dressing Cycle of the machine and is fully automatic, requiring no operator attendance.
