At Michigan Hone & Metal Finishing, we specialize in honing small components with precision and efficiency. Utilizing our advanced 6-spindle Accu-Bore Machines and 10 Sunnen Honing Machines, we are equipped to handle high-volume production as well as prototype development, ensuring that every part meets stringent quality standards.
What is Small Part Honing?
Small part honing is essential for achieving precise internal surface finishes and tight tolerances in miniature components. This process is crucial for ensuring the optimal performance and longevity of parts used in various high-precision applications across industries such as automotive, aerospace, medical devices, and manufacturing.
Our Process and Capabilities
Precision Machinery: Our facility is equipped with 6-spindle Accu-Bore Machines and 10 Sunnen Honing Machines, designed specifically for small part honing. These machines provide the capability to handle parts with lengths from .250 inches to 8.00 inches and internal diameters ranging from .125 inches to 6.250 inches.
Exacting Tolerances: We maintain exacting tolerances up to .0002 inches, ensuring that each component meets the precise specifications required for high-performance applications. This high level of precision is critical for parts that demand exceptional accuracy and surface quality.
High-Volume Production: Our setup is ideal for high-volume production runs, allowing us to efficiently produce large quantities of small parts without compromising on quality. This capability is particularly beneficial for industries that require consistent, reliable components in large numbers.
Prototype Development: In addition to high-volume production, we also specialize in prototype development. Our team works closely with clients to develop and refine prototypes, ensuring that the final product meets all design and performance criteria.
