Nagel has introduced the high-performance vertical honing machines VL 15 and VL 30 designed specifically for machining long steel tubes, piston rods and other heavy workpieces with standard lengths of up to 3,800 mm and diameters of up to 350 mm. Custom stroke lengths are also available upon thorough evaluation.
"The Nagel VL series combines user-friendly operation, powerful drives and a stable, robust design," said a company spokesperson. "Installed over a working trench, the machines enable workpieces to be accessed above and below floor level. This ensures ground-level accessibility to the working areas, enhancing workshop flexibility."
With the VL 15 and VL 30, high material removal rates can be achieved in short cycle times while maintaining tight dimensional tolerances and geometrically precise bore shapes. These machines also deliver enhanced surface finishes, even on workpieces with rough pre-machining, meeting high quality requirements of various industries, the company reported.
The VL series is also suitable for external machining, where the workpiece is mounted on the honing spindle, which performs vertical and radial honing movements. This extends the lifespan of sleeves and sealing elements, as the machining marks are oriented axially.
Equipped with an advanced automatic measurement system, the machines achieve shut-off accuracy of 0.01 mm, even when machining long tubes with material allowances of up to 1.0 mm. This helps ensure consistently high manufacturing quality while minimizing operator effort.
