At CT Hone, Inc., we are capable of honing intricate parts, requring innovative thinking, to reach challenging areas. In the project highlighted here, we provided I.D. honing of a support assembly used by a customer in the aerospace industry. The assembly is constructed of aluminum and measures 18″ in length with an inside diameter of .375″.
We were required to remove between .003″/.004″ of material, while holding tolerances as tight as + .0005″, and providing a material microfinish of 30. Specialized procedures were set up to process these unique parts efficiently, while providing consistent results conforming to the specified tolerances. Once developed, our qualified operators were able to process these parts very quickly. A Federal Air Gage was used to verify conformance to all customer specifications.
We were chosen for this project as a result our reputation for successfully completing out of the box projects with a high degree of precision. This is an excellent example of the challenges our customers trust us to overcome, in order to provide precision parts, used in a variety of advanced manufacturing applications.
