Abstract: A method and suitable honing tools for honing conical bores are proposed.

Abstract: A honing tool for working several separate bores that are arranged coaxially in series and have different diameters. The honing tool includes several cutting bar groups arranged coaxially in series, wherein a diameter of a cutting bar group of the several cutting bar groups, which diameter is formed by radially extendable cutting bars, differs from a corresponding diameter of at least one other cutting bar group of the several cutting bar groups. A centering bar group is arranged in an axial direction to a free end of the honing tool adjacent at least one cutting bar group; or a guide bar group is arranged directly adjacent opposite the free end of the honing tool adjacent the at least one cutting bar group, or both the centering bar group and the guide bar group are arranged accordingly.

Abstract: A dressing device for dressing honing stones is provided with a base body and a mounting device for mounting the dressing device in a grinding machine. The base body has at least one honing stone receptacle that is a pocket. Honing stones are inserted and secured in the honing stone receptacles and the abrasive coating of the honing stones are ground by the grinding machine. A set of honing stones that is required for furnishing a honing tool can be dressed by one mounting action in the dressing device and can be inserted into the honing tool so as to be positioned exactly at the same radial position without requiring additional machining.

Abstract: A method for machining a surface of a metal component, in particular a connecting rod or a cam for a motor vehicle, including the following steps: providing a metal component which has a surface to be machined; premachining the surface to be machined; structuring the premachined surface by means of a laser beam in such a way that elevations but no depressions are formed as laser structures on the premachined surface with respect to the level thereof.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device (1) for the combined precision turning and honing of a cylindrical borehole (35). The device (1) according to the invention can comprise either only honing stones (29) which can be fed or also cutters (7) that can be fed during machining.

Abstract: The invention proposes a device which prepared a cylinder bore of a combustion engine in one working stroke such that the cylinder bore can subsequently be thermally coated.

Abstract: A honing tool for machining cylindrical bores has a tool body provided with a guide bore and a feed rod disposed in the guide bore. The tool body has a honing stone receptacle extending from the guide bore in a radial direction of the tool body outwardly through the tool body. A honing stone is arranged in the honing stone receptacle. A pin is disposed in the honing stone and projects laterally from the honing stone. An elongate spring is disposed in the tool body parallel to the honing stone, wherein the elongate spring element has a first end section, a central section, and a second end section opposite the first end section. The central section is guided across the pin and the first end section is secured in the radial direction in the tool body.

Abstract: A method for removing the overspray of a coating which has been sprayed onto a workpiece directs at least one liquid jet from a jet lance as a hydrodynamic wedge in the parting plane between the workpiece and the overspray onto those regions of the workpiece which have overspray.

Abstract: The invention relates to a machine for creating non-cylindrical bore surfaces having a machine spindle (5), to which a machining tool (2-06, 3-04) can be connected, onto which a feed movement is transferred via a feed means (1-10). A direct axially parallel acting linear drive (1-06) is provided in the tool fitting unit (1) associated with the machine spindle (5) for fine feeding, the feed movement of which overlaps the first mentioned feed movement, and the actuating means (1-05) of which acts upon a feed (1-03) that is disposed together with the machining tool (2-05, 3-04) and the means for deflection (1-031, 1-032) of the feed movement in a tool unit (2, 3) that can be exchanged on the tool fitting unit (1).

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for fine machining workpieces, preferably for honing and/or fineboring cylinder bores in crankcases of internal combustion engines, wherein inside a module (1) one or two horizontally displaceable machining units (10, 11, 12, 13) each are provided on two longitudinal sides (2, 3) that are opposite each other for honing and/or fineboring. Each machining unit (10, 11, 12, 13) comprises a spindle (100), a drive for creating the oscillating stroke movement of the spindle (100) and for displacing the machining unit into the working position, a tool holder (8) with a rigid axis, and a feed device (60, 61, 62, 63, 64) for the radial feeding of the machining tools, and between the longitudinal sides equipped with the machining units (10, 11, 12, 13) a service chamber (7) that can be accessed from an end side, wherein at least one tool magazine (30, 31) is associated with the machining units (10, 11, 12, 13) at the rear end side (4) of the module (1).
