The Model DLM flathoning machine 705 from Stahli features a new construction and allows for faster processing speeds. According to the company?s press release, the dual wheel design enables both sides of the workpiece to be ground simultaneously. In this flat honing process, precision is achieved with fixed abrasives compared to conventional loose abrasive lapping or grinding. The need for pre-machining or secondary grinding is eliminated. Work pieces are held in carriers enabling continuous loading/unloading, which increases machine uptime.
