Abhi

Abhi is a honing machine and tool manufacturer headquartered in Coimbatore, India. This page focuses on Abhi's bore and interior surface honing machines.

Please use it for reference when considering using single-pass machines or expandable machines with set-up changing support for your mass production needs.

The strengths of Abhi's honing machines

Vertically Integrated In-House Manufacturing for
Consistent, Reproducible Mass Production

Abhi designs and manufactures machines, tools, and jigs in-house, so its machines eliminate the inconsistency that comes from different combinations of machines and externally procured components. This vertically-integrated structure contributes to a high level of reproducibility in mass production sites.

How Abhi's honing machines can change your operations

Abhi's machines combine PLC control with dedicated jigs to help eliminate the uneven quality that comes with approaches which are heavily reliant on individual expertise or individual operators. They're good choices for worksites that want to maintain high mass production line operation rates and manufacturing sections that want to reduce the person-hours they need to dedicate to inspection and re-processing.

Applications of Abhi's honing machines

Even among interior surface bore honing machines, the type of model you need will vary depending on whether you're engaged in high throughput mass production or in medium- to high-volume mass production that involves changing set-ups. Abhi provides models for both: the vertical, single-pass AB300 and the vertical, single-spindle, expandable ABE12065. That makes it easy for you to choose the model that best fits your own production situation.

Device capabilities and manufacturer support requirements vary from business to business, differing for precision components, large components and heavy industry, and component repair and processing.

We have carefully selected the honing machines that are best suited to companies based on the features and challenges of their varied businesses, freeing them from needing to rely on specific operators. Please use the information on this site in your comparisons and deliberations.

Single-pass machine for mass production lines that prioritize high throughput

This machine has three spindles and four stations. It is designed with a focus on production efficiency when it comes to mounting or removing components on stations. It is well-suited for use in mass production lines in which everything from rough processing to final finishing is performed continuously under uniform conditions.

It offers both high productivity and short cycle times while reducing quality inconsistency and the frequency with which inspections are necessary.

A single-spindle machine with a wide size range that is well-suited for medium-volume mass production and set-up switching

This machine is listed as supporting component diameters between 20 mm and 65 mm and lengths of up to 300 mm, making it a good fit for many workpieces. It has a belt drive, a servo feed function, and PLC control, so it offers both versatility and consistent processing precision.

Unlike multi-spindle devices specialized for mass production, this model is a good fit for worksites that want to establish consistent conditions for single-spindle, interior surface finishing.

Abhi honing machine usage case examples

• Installed product: ABE12065 (single-spindle vertical expandable honing machine)
• User: An automobile component processing company (using the machine for an application similar to water pump flange processing)

Usage case example of unifying blind hole dimensions and surface roughness under mass production conditions

Background

This is a case example of using a single-spindle vertical expandable honing machine for an application similar to processing an automotive water pump flange. The company was working with FG260 material and needed to make 60 mm deep blind holes.

The hole diameters needed to be on the order of 38.1 mm, and the work had to meet exacting standards, not just for dimensional accuracy but also cylindricality and surface roughness, while being carried out under mass production conditions.

Benefits of deployment

The machine met the hole diameter range requirement of 38.120 mm to 38.135 mm by making holes with actual diameters of 38.128 mm. It met the cylindricality threshold requirement of 0.01 mm with its actual cylindricality of 0.008 mm, and its surface roughness requirement of 0.635 Ra with an actual surface roughness of 0.4 Ra.

In terms of productivity, it maintained a processing capacity of 60 pieces per hour, so it helped the customer establish a mass production system while maintaining dimensional accuracy and surface roughness.

Abhi's maintenance system and after-sales support

Combining spare parts and maintenance consultations in the in-house integrated system in Coimbatore

Abhi has a head office and factory in Coimbatore, India, and it has multiple telephone numbers and email addresses where inquiries can be directed. It doesn't just manufacture machines but also tools and jigs, all in-house.

It centrally handles consultations for everything from spare parts to maintenance, making it easy to manage everything through a single point of contact.

Alleviating customers' operation concerns through startup, training, and remote support

Abhi performs advance confirmation before installing equipment and offers training to equipment users. Even after equipment is put into operation, it helps keep operations through its support system, which offers remote technical support and tool support.

Its uninterrupted support covers everything from deployment to maintenance, helping solve problems that occur once machines are in operation and alleviating the technical unease operators may feel.
