Gear Honing-  Synchronized gear honing now available.

For many years high production gear manufacturers have cringed at the thought of "hard gear finishing". Typically the process has been avoided due to slow cycle times and high investment cost. Unfortunately transmission designs and tolerance have evolved to the point where post heat treatment gear finishing has to be considered.  Mitsubishi's answer to high production hard gear finishing is the model ZS25A synchronized honing machine.

Unlike conventional honing machines the ZS25A uses servomotors to drive the honing wheel and workpiece independently but in synchronization. This concept permits higher and more aggressive stock removal. In many cases no pre-gear honing operation is needed. Merely rough the gear in the soft, heat treat and synchronize hone. Results from tests and production bear this out.
