Fast stock removal honing machine
MLA-5000 SUNNEN

The automated MLA-5000 provides consistent production capacity and bore quality and is less sensitive to variations caused by the change in machine operators from shift to shift. It is typically twice as fast as standard operator controlled honing machines, increasing your production capacity without increasing your work force.

Another major benefit of the MLA-5000 is its ability to hone hard materials efficiently, allowing high-cost CNC machines to stay focused on more productive CNC operations. The MLA-5000 is a profitable alternative to costly and time- consuming hard turning. The MLA-5000 is also up to six times faster than I.D. Grinding and other honing processes, including older model Sunnen honing machines. It can be set up in half the time for increased production efficiencies. With its fast stock removal rates, preliminary reaming, boring or grinding can be eliminated on many applications. The dual feed pressure feature on the MLA-5000 allows the operator to rough and finish hone in one operation.

When it comes to accuracy and consistency, the MLA-5000 is second to none. Sunnen Power Stroking assures constant stroke length and stroke rates. Combined with optional Automatic Size Control and a patented Dual Feed Pressure, the MLA-5000 offers better control of bore size, finish and geometry than ever before - at high production rates.
