Sunnen Products Company has launched the HTE 1600W Tube Hone, an all-electric precision honing machine specifically designed for the oil and natural gas industry’s demanding small diameter, long bore applications.
The HTE 1600W excels in finishing long, narrow bores common in oil and gas equipment components such as valve stems, pump shafts, and small-diameter tubing, with the ability to process parts with IDs from 4-20 mm and lengths up to 1,500 mm. This capability is crucial for maintaining precision in components used in high-pressure environments typical of oil and gas operations.
At the core of the HTE 1600W is its active 3-axis function control, which provides superior bore geometry and high accuracy. This feature is essential for creating perfect sealing surfaces in valves and pumps used in the high-pressure environments of oil and gas extraction and processing. The machine’s 100% process control with tool overload protection prevents tool breakage and ensures consistent results, maintaining high-quality standards for critical oil and gas industry components.
The all-electric design of the HTE 1600W ensures consistent performance and easy maintenance, a crucial factor for reliability in remote oil and gas operations. This design not only simplifies upkeep but also contributes to the machine’s efficiency, an important consideration in energy-conscious industrial settings.
