Single Pass Honing Machines
Insight's iHone VR-S Series

- Precision Personified

[Also known as Single Stroke Honing or Diamond Bore Sizing]

Single Pass Honing, is a high-productivity bore-finishing process, that imparts high-precision form, tight size control and high surface finish consistently and precisely. The process involves passing a series of tools with pre-set sizes, progressively through the bore, in a single in-and-out stroke.

Relative to traditional multi-pass honing (aka multi-stroke honing), Single Pass Honing Process as the name suggests - finishes holes/bores by a one-stroke in & out honing modality, which enables simultaneous removal of stock, that is distributed over multiple spindles. Natural outcome is faster process - going from 2 to 5 times relative to multi-stroke honing.
Moreover, distributed stock removal directly enhances tool life, most often in order of 5 to 10 times.

Tag-lined 'Precision Personified', Insight's Single Pass Honing Machines - are the kind of machines that personify the art of meticulous engineering, and exhibit uncompromising build quality.

These Machines not only can 'hone' cost efficiently, but as a matter of fact - can be used for any application that desires process outcomes such as - Consistent Bore Quality, High Speed Bore Finishing & Low CPC (Cost per Component).

Ever since the launch of the machines half a decade back, the VR-S series - Single Pass Honing Machines, have gone through a multitude of holistic evolutionary enhancements:
- From 'fabricated base & column structures' in earlier versions to 'vibration-resistant thermo-symmetric cast structures' in the current version
- Far improved 'stiffness-to-weight' ratios, and enhanced robustness
- Re-engineered Electrical & Controls Architecture that's evidently one of the bests across this segment
- Sleeker design, Revamped aesthetics & Re-optimized topology
- and, a host of simplistic yet impactful nuances of engineering!
