A client came to us recently with a problem.
They couldn’t reach the roundness specifications for their hydraulic valve with their usual burnishing tools. The pressure was causing deformation of the low-carbon steel part.
Specification
- Roundness – .0003”
- Roughness – Ra 10 micro inch
Competitor’s tool performance
- Roundness – .0008”
- Roughness – Ra 10 micro inch
So we recommended using Sugino’s Superoll MAC with compensating pressure. Equipped with an automatic tool diameter adjusting feature, the Superoll MAC burnishing tool automatically tracked the pre-hole diameter, delivering a stable finishing surface.
Specification
- Roundness – .0003”
- Roughness – Ra 10 micro inch
Superoll MAC
- Roundness – .0002”
- Roughness – Ra 3 micro inch
Superoll MAC was not only able to meet, but even exceed the client’s specifications. And without compromising the structural integrity of the workpiece.
If have a challenge that needs to be addressed, you should talk to us. Let’s see if we can exceed your expectations along with your specs.
