  • Patent number: 8925198
    Abstract: In a method for the finishing of a crankshaft bearing bore in a cylinder crankcase of an internal combustion engine, starting from a prepared crankshaft bearing bore, a finished crankshaft bearing bore is produced with a prescribable desired size, a prescribable desired structure of the bore inner surface and a prescribable desired position of the bore axis. The prepared crankshaft bearing bore is first finished with at least one finishing tool with a geometrically defined cutting edge and then the honing of the crankshaft bearing bore is carried out. In a final finishing operation with a geometrically defined cutting edge immediately preceding the honing, an allowance of at least 0.4 mm is removed, and the honing tool is introduced into the bore coaxially in relation to the desired position of the bore axis and moved within the bore, an allowance of at least 0.08 mm being removed during the honing.

  • Publication number: 20120184182
    Abstract: A method for fine boring of internal surfaces of bore holes in work pieces as well as a machining plant for executing this method. The fine machining, fine boring, and honing include fine boring of a bore hole of a work piece using a fine boring tool; transferring the work piece into a honing device; measuring the fine bored bore hole with a measuring device associated with the honing device; and controlling the operation of the fine boring device depending on the bore hole measuring signal received by the measuring device. An output fine boring machining, arranged directly upstream of the transfer, is dimensioned as semi-finishing machining, and is carried out with a fine boring tool having at least one adjustable cutting edge. The position of the adjustable cutting edge is controlled depending on the bore hole measuring signal.
