VARIOROD - innovative machining concept for the honing of connection rods

Equipped with the latest NAGEL honing control system, VARIOROD offers the best possible flexibility with simultaneously high output levels – thereby doing away with an apparent contradiction.

The rotary table transportation serves to reduce non-productive times and so enables the best possible productivity. The specially developed highly flexible fixture concept enables short setup times and thus ensures excellent availability even with a wide range of parts. This flexibility also leads to a considerably lower requirement for fixture change parts and simultaneously means that today you are already equipped for the workpiece generations of the future.

Regardless of whether you wish to machine the large eye or both connection rod bores, the VARIOROD machine concept enables all possible machining circumferences and process sequences. At the same time depending on the task standard honing and precidor honing processes can be combined. Depending on the respective constraints parallel machining or machining in a sequence can be implemented. Subject to the applicable limitations, the required honing spindles can even be retrofitted.

The VARIOGEAR machining concept enables post process measurement after each honing operation giving an effective feedback control for each separate process stage – a condition for the best possible process reliability and perfect quality of the machined parts.
