Finishing – Grinding – Honing

Honing meets Finishing

In order to provide our customers with an innovative solution for the machining of pinion gears, we have jointly developed the new MicroStar 285. Generating customer value – investment, cycle time and quality – is the center of our effort. The outcome is one single rotary transfer machine which ideally interconnects finishing, grinding and honing. The MicroStar F-G-H is a high precision machine tool for carrying out several high precision operations in one chuck. This feature eliminates the addition of clamping errors and achieves extremely high qualities over the whole machining process.

The machine features an indexing table with eight tool spindles as its base. All tool units are arranged around a central column. After generating a highly precise reference on one face of the workpiece, all subsequent operations like finishing, gauging, bore grinding, and honing are carried out with the workpiece clamped in one chuck. This is the unique feature of the machine.
