K factor a critical parameter in Fuel System nozzle finishing.
As a supplier of fuel nozzles for next generation engines and components, you’re aware of the increasing emphasis to decrease fuel consumption and emissions through the increase of injection system pressures. The goal being to achieve a greater atomization of the fuel as it enters the engine. (more…)
Enhanced Finishing Solution for metal 3D printed components
Additive Manufacturing
There is extreme interest revolving around Additive Manufacturing. Fully functioning cars were produced using Additive Manufacturing techniques during the 2016 IMTS Show in Chicago – demonstrating the process benefits of the AM Technology.
Additive manufacturing (known also under DLMS; SLM; AM, ALM, 3D Printing) is a process of building parts and components layer by layer, connecting powder particles via an energy source. (more…)
New Thermal Deburring Machine by Extrude Hone
New thermal deburring machine. Extrude Hone brings – the T350 and T450 thermal deburring machines to 
provide quick reliable solution for complete and simultaneous removal of internal and external burrs.
The challenges:
- To have reliable hydraulic manifolds

AFM: High-Quality Finishing for Industrial 3D Printing
As 3D printers become more ubiquitous, the question manufacturers are trying to answer is not ‘how do we incorporated industrial 3D printing?’ but ‘how do we incorporate industrial 3D printing better than our competitors?’ Whether your application involves additive layer manufacturing (ALM) or laser sintering, the key that can set your
product above the rest is finishing. (more…)
Improving Crankshaft Manufacturing
Improving Crankshaft Manufacturing with Electrochemical Machining
Ensuring sufficient and permanent lubrication of crankshaft bearings in automobile engines is critical for avoiding engine failures. As the crankshaft becomes smaller, due to manufacturing trends and consumer expectations, the number of oil intersection holes increases. All burrs and debris left behind in the drilling process must be removed.
