CNC Microhone System
The Microhone® Tooling and Abrasive System from PSS-Abrasives & Tool Division has provided superior results on compressor housings, engine blocks, hydraulic valve housings gears and other parts.
The machining system uses agile or cellular manufacturing, confirming the abilities of machining centers in higher volume production. The system allows for the smooth flow of processing workpieces from one operation to another, eliminating the wait time or need for handling between operations typical of transfer lines.
The system, a rapidly evolving machining technology, is now surpassing conventional honing as the preferred process for finishing the inside diameter of a part.
