Smart Honing Technology Puts Lift In Business For Aerospace Hydraulic Pumps
WHEELING, IL – "We don't believe it!" – that's how experienced machinists reacted to their first encounter with a new honing system that produced nine bores per part with only 0.000020" (0.5 µm) variation, all day long, with essentially no operator attention. That's 2.21 Cpk process capability. It's game changing technology in a shop like Waltz Brothers, Inc., a precision grinding and machining operation where these parts – flight-critical hydrau
