DHM and Titan Series: Professional Solutions for Hole Honing
Discover Damec’s technology for horizontal hole honing and lapping.
Damec horizontal honing machines, such as the DHM series and the Titan, represent the ideal solution for industrial honing and lapping of holes in high-precision hydraulic, automotive, and mechanical components.
In the world of precision engineering, hole honing is a crucial step to achieve tight tolerances and superior surface finishes. Thanks to their compact structure, high accuracy, and versatility, Damec horizontal honing machines are the ideal tool to optimize production processes.
What are horizontal honing machines?
Horizontal honing machines for holes are precision machine tools designed to improve the internal geometric shape and surface of cylindrical holes, ensuring dimensional accuracy down to the micron.
Unlike vertical honing machines, these machines feature a horizontal machining axis, particularly suitable for elongated or heavy components, such as:
- Hydraulic cylinders
- Bushings
- Extruders
- Nozzles
- Piston sleeves
- Engine liners
- Dispensers
These horizontal honing machines are used in hydraulic, automotive, and precision mechanical applications, where the quality of the internal surface is crucial for the component’s functionality and durability.
How a horizontal honing machine for holes works
The operating principle is based on the use of tools with expandable abrasive holders that rotate along the axis of the hole. This movement, combined with the translation of the carriage, allows for controlled and uniform machining.
The most common features include:
- Automatic expansion of the abrasive stones
- Electronic control of the honing cycle
- Coolant and filtration system
- Ability to work with interchangeable tools
The DHM and Titan series from Damec
The DHM horizontal honing machine from Damec is ideal for honing small to medium diameter holes (from 1.5 to 70 mm), featuring a robust structure and advanced electronic control systems.
The Titan, on the other hand, represents the most advanced solution for Industry 4.0 and 5.0, thanks to its automatic abrasive expansion system, integrated webcam for real-time monitoring, and efficient coolant filtration (from 1.5 to 100 mm).
Both machines ensure high-quality horizontal machining of metal components, providing productive efficiency, long-term reliability, and reduced setup times.
