What is the difference between vertical honing machine and horizontal honing machine?

Vertical honing machine spindle working stroke is relatively short, suitable for honing cylinder and box body holes, etc. Vertical honing machine is mainly processed like automobile connecting rods, reversing valves, high-precision oil pump nozzles and other parts requiring high precision. The honing head embedded with oil stone is driven to rotate by the vertically placed spindle, and at the same time, it is driven by the hydraulic device to make vertical reciprocating feeding movement (see machine tool).

Vertical honing machine is mainly used for honing machine processing all kinds of engine block holes, cylinder liner holes and other precision holes. Vertical honing machine has advanced design and reliable performance; the spindle rotation and feeding adopts stepless speed change; the spindle box can realize longitudinal and transverse movement in a light way; the worktable can move longitudinally and clamp the cylinder block (including V cylinder block) quickly.

Horizontal honing machine has a longer working stroke, suitable for honing deep holes, the depth of up to 3,000 millimeters; Horizontal honing machine is mainly used for processing engineering cylinders, military tank bore, medical precision instruments and other requirements of high precision and the hole diameter is relatively large and deep workpiece, commonly all kinds of cylinders.

Horizontal placement of the honing head does not rotate, only for axial reciprocating motion, the workpiece is driven by the spindle rotation, the middle of the bed is equipped with a center frame to support the workpiece and support the honing rod guide frame. In the process, the honing head of the oil stone in the expansion and contraction mechanism under the action of radial feed, the workpiece is gradually processed to the required size. The new honing machine mostly adopts hydraulic expansion and contraction honing head. Honing machine is mostly semi-automatic, often with automatic measuring device, can also be incorporated into the automatic production line work. In addition to processing hole honing machine, there are other surface processing cylindrical honing machine, bearing raceway honing machine, plane honing machine and surface honing machine.
