February 2015 – Sunnen introduces digital control of spindle speed, power-stroke speed and extra strokes on its new SH-2000 job-shop honing machine, designed as an affordable and flexible tool for bore sizing/finishing on a wide variety of parts. The new Siemens PLC/HMI brings efficiency advantages to a machine platform proven to have wide appeal in operations where parts, material types, and setups must change frequently and efficiently. The SH-2000 is ideal for medium to high production of parts with bore diameters from 1.5 to 102 mm (0.060" - 4") in power-stroke mode.
