Choosing the right honing company is important when precision, reliability and consistent results matter. Professional honing can improve the internal finish and accuracy of components used in demanding engineering applications.
A trusted honing company can provide more than honing alone, offering a range of specialist machining and refurbishment services to meet different industrial requirements.
CA Honemaster has more than 40 years of experience in the UK honing market and provides a range of engineering services from its Cheltenham facility.
Key benefits of working with an experienced specialist include:
- Professional precision honing for demanding components
- Cylinder bore and piston rod refurbishment
- Deep hole boring and gun drilling
- Honed tube, chrome tube and chrome bar supply
- Additional machining services for different engineering requirements
Precision Honing for Industrial Applications
Precision machining process used to enhance the accuracy and surface finish of internal bores is known as honing. It is suitable for dimensional control of components, component performance, and internal surface quality.
A professional honing service offers the same results as a professional by utilising the appropriate equipment and expert engineers. CA Honemaster is a honing expert with additional machining capabilities to meet a variety of British engineering needs.
Small and Large Honing Services
Different components require different machining methods, making access to both small honing and large honing valuable. CA Honemaster provides both services for precision components and larger industrial applications.
Choosing a honing company with broad machining capabilities can simplify manufacturing and refurbishment by reducing the need for multiple contractors. It can also make communication, project management and quality control more efficient.
Hydraulic Cylinder and Bore Refurbishment
The internal surfaces of hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders must have a clean and precise finish for successful operation. Over time, cylinder bores can wear and be damaged, necessitating professional refurbishment.
CA Honemaster offers hydraulic cylinder and piston rod refurbishment, honing and subcontract machining. Cylinder refurbishment can be carried out by professionals to restore components to a suitable condition and provide an engineering alternative to whole-cylinder replacement.
Deep Hole Boring and Gun Drilling
Some engineering components require accurately produced or machined internal holes. CA Honemaster provides deep hole boring and gun drilling alongside its honing services.
These specialist services include:
- Deep hole boring for machining deeper internal bores
- Gun drilling for producing deep and accurate holes
- Precision machining for demanding engineering applications
- Complementary services alongside conventional honing
Having several machining processes available from one supplier can make projects easier to manage.
Piston Rod Refurbishment and Machining
Piston rods are important components in hydraulic and pneumatic systems. They may wear or become damaged to the extent that refurbishment is required.
Piston rod refurbishment is one of CA Honemaster’s many machining and engineering services.
The service can support:
- Refurbishment of suitable piston rods
- Hydraulic and pneumatic cylinder applications
- Precision engineering requirements
- Component repair and maintenance projects
- Customers looking for an alternative to unnecessary replacement
The company’s wider machining capability means piston rod requirements can be considered alongside other components within a project.
Chrome Bar, Tube and Honed Tube Supply
CA Honemaster also supplies chrome tube, chrome bar and honed tube for engineering applications. These products can be relevant to hydraulic and pneumatic cylinder systems where dimensional accuracy and suitable surface quality are important.
The company’s product range includes:
- Chrome tube
- Chrome bar
- Honed tube
- Engineering components for cylinder applications
- Specialist products supporting hydraulic and industrial requirements
Having machining and specialist tube products available through one engineering supplier can make sourcing more straightforward.
