Sunnen's HTE 1600W: Precision Honing Redefined For Oil And Gas Industry

Advanced All-Electric Tube Hone Delivers Unparalleled Accuracy and Efficiency for Critical Petroleum Sector Components

Sunnen Products Company, a global leading manufacturer of bore sizing and finishing equipment, highlights the HTE 1600W Tube Hone, an innovative all-electric precision honing machine specifically designed for the oil and natural gas industry's demanding small diameter, long bore applications. This cutting-edge machine addresses the unique challenges faced by manufacturers in the petroleum sector, ensuring high-quality components that meet the stringent requirements of this critical industry.

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.

Adaptability is a key feature of the HTE 1600W, with variable stroke speeds allowing for precise control and optimization of the honing process for different materials used in oil and gas equipment. The machine's compatibility with Sunnen MMT and LBT tools offers flexibility for various small, long diameter bore applications common in petroleum industry components.

Additionally, the machine's traveling steady rest provides additional support for the tooling used with long workpieces, enhancing versatility during honing of extended pump shafts or drill stems. This feature, combined with the machine's size lock system and stone wear compensation, ensures consistent quality across production runs of oil and gas industry components.

For operators in oil and gas manufacturing facilities, the HTE 1600W offers a user-friendly interface with a Windows-based touchscreen control. This allows for easy storage of tool-specific settings for different energy industry components and the ability to save up to 999 setups, increasing efficiency for repeat jobs and reducing setup time when switching between different oil and gas components.

The HTE 1600W Tube Hone represents a significant advancement in precision bore finishing for the oil and natural gas industry. By combining cutting-edge technology with industry-specific features, it addresses the unique challenges faced by petroleum sector manufacturers, ensuring the production of high-quality components that can withstand the demanding conditions of oil and gas extraction and processing.
