Fascination Laser Light as a tool in production engineering - laser with its versatility still fascinates. For quite a while, Gehring has discovered the concentrated light for production. In cooperation with our customers, we have developed a number of different laser applications and installed them in appropriate machines. In modern production lines, machines with high process reliability were developed to industrialize laser structuring. Our laser machines offer process reliablity and work reliability around the clock. Q-switched solid state lasers with Galvo scanner optics are used as beam source. Laser beams can either be used for surface structuring or for marking data matrix codes. Multiple beam sources can be arranged to reduce the cycle times. The arrangement depends on the machining job. During the structuring of bored segments, the beam passes into the bore at a diagonal. During the machining of front faces, the beam guidance to the machined surface takes place normally. For quality control of workpieces, imaging cameras can be used. Data matrix codes can be read or the surface can be probed with another special camera.

Standardized Precision The newly developed single-stone L-series tooling system is designed for the honing of high-precision bores with a diameter range of 3–15 mm. A special feature is the re-structured modular system, which is characterized by the use of standardized components.

Proven Precision The multiple-stone honing tools of the TN/TS series are characterized by their wide range of application. This series, tried and trusted for many years, is used for the honing of bores with a diameter range of 5–1,000 mm.

Gehring Automation With our Gehring automation systems, we provide you with the complete production from a single source. The Gehring Automation systems include transportation systems, emptying stations and loading and unloading systems. We invite you to take advantage of the benefits obtained from it.

PRODUCTIVITY AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL The innovative powertrainhone machine concept can be applied to all known honing processes. In addition to conventional honing, innovative processes such as position honing can also be modeled. High processing and cutting speeds as well as optimized workflows significantly increase productivity even further. Whether as single pump or as chain-linked production lines - the modular concept provides high level of flexibility in configuring modern production solutions. Standard function modules combined with customized solutions guarantee optimal results.

The tool for the machining of bores with 68-110 mm diameter. STANDARDIZED PRECISION The newly developed multiple-stone PT tooling system is designed for honing bores with a diameter range of 68–110 mm. A special feature is the re-structured modular system, which is characterized by the utilization of standardized components. YOUR BENEFITS In addition to the technical and application-related advantages, the modular structure of the tooling system enables the best delivery times both for new tools and tooling rework. A high degree of standardization results in reduced production costs - an additional customer benefit with respect to economy in the application.

lifehone - Precision in exclusiv design Small bore diameters often place different demands to the production technology than large ones. Problems such as a less favorable length/diameter ratio of the bore and less available space have to be solved. In order to meet our customers' requirements, we have continuously improved our lifehone machine. Construction modules were modified according to market requirements. Market-approved components were further optimized. We are proud to now present to you a cost-efficient machine with short delivery times and functionally advanced components. Whether constructed as a multi-spindle transfer solution for mass production, or as single-spindle design for small batches - highly accurate parts with honing diameters up to 90 mm can be processed optimally with the appropriate machine. Characterized by simple use and high performance, you will find the right solution for your requirements and process conditions.

Maximized efficiency and productivity without compromise The deephone series - formaly GNM - from the Gehring horizontal honing machine product line combines maximum efficiency with a balanced compact design. This allows for an efficient and economical honing of precision cylinders and large parts. The honing-control is easy to understand, and significantly boosts the user-friendliness of the machine. Once put into operation, the machine stands out for its high productivity and availability. The overall package is optimally rounded off by very short delivery times for machines and tooling.
