High-end honing technology
Honing is the most precise metal cutting process for the cost-effective, high-precision machining of holes. Maximum accuracy in dimensional, form, and surface tolerances is achieved. KADIA develops high-performance technology for small to medium bore diameters. With our Smart Dynamic concept, we offer the most advanced processes for honing precision components.
MECHANICAL DEBURRING
Burrs occur in almost all manufacturing processes. In the worst case, they can cause malfunction in the final product. Therefore, industries such as automotive and component suppliers require burr-free parts. Kadia is a specialist in mechanical deburring and surface finishing.
Deep hole drilling
TBT has played a decisive role in shaping deep drilling technology and has further developed it. In high-performance precision drilling, the single-lip gun drill has proven itself in practice due to the achievable diameter tolerances and surface qualities, as well as minimal deviation. As a result, the deep drilling principle replaces drilling and reaming in a single operation for a wide range of applications, with extremely high process reliability.
Superfinishing
Superfinishing is a chip removing machining process. But not one that is comparable to any other. In contrast to the classic lathe turning and grinding methods, there is full surface contact between the tool and the workpiece. This is precisely the feature that produces the unique characteristics of a perfectly machined surface. This is superfinishing! According to customer needs, we have classified our machines into four series: Race finishing, Plunge machining, Centerless machining, and Ball machining (click on the Supfina logo to learn more).
Flat finishing
Flat finishing is primarily the process of using a cup wheel to machine a workpiece’s face. Precision slides allow the finishing unit to be adjusted in multiple directions — thus giving the workpiece a characteristic “cross-hatch” pattern, in addition to concave or convex adjustments. With these capabilities a flat, concave, convex, or spherical surface can be produced. One key difference between double-disk grinding and flat finishing is that, for the latter process, the tool is self-dressed during the machining of components and regular wheel dressing is not necessary.
Fine grinding
Fine grinding is also used when workpieces require both surfaces to have plane parallelism, but with more precision than can be achieved with double-disk grinding. Workpieces are placed in carriers that have teeth on the outside diameter. An inner pin ring rotates the carriers as they shift on a stationary outer pin ring in an orbiting manner. Machining takes place between two rotating grinding wheels. The optimal machining force is applied by the upper wheel, which is mounted on an oscillating pendulum.
Double disk grinding
Double-disk grinding is performed when both sides of a workpiece must be ground so that both surfaces are exactly plane and parallel. The workpiece is not fixed for this process. Instead, it is loosely placed in the “nest” of the workpiece carrier. Then both sides of the workpiece are simultaneously machined between two grinding wheels. The upper grinding wheel is adjusted with the “tilt” navigation setting, which allows the upper wheel to maintain the desired angle with the lower wheel.
Superfinishing attachments
Depending on the number of pieces and the geometric size of the workpieces to be machined, superfinishing attachments are used on conventional grinding or lathes. Supfina attachments are available as tape units, stone units or hybrid versions. We will happily advise you which version is suitable for your application.
Supfina robotics
Are you looking for a flexible, modular, and economical solution for your processes? With the R-Cell, Supfina presents an innovative robotic cell that easily meets all these requirements. In the modular cell, a large number of components can be arranged entirely according to your own needs and, thanks to the flexible design, can also be expanded or adapted at any time. This ensures increased flexibility and quicker reaction times and offers great potential for savings thanks to efficient production in a compact space.
Gear grinding
The Reishauer continuous generating grinding process is based on a high-performance, multi-axis grinding machine equipped with dressable, vitrified bonded threaded wheels. This combination of machine and tooling ensures the production of high-quality gears with very short cycle times. The abrasive grain used in the threaded wheels consists of fused or sintered aluminium oxides, which are significantly harder than the case-hardened steel of the gears to be ground. The consistent profile accuracy and cutting ability of the threaded wheels are maintained on the machine using precise diamond dressing tools. For tooth-by-tooth grinding, the PSK profile grinding heads extend the application possibilities of the Reishauer generating grinding machines. They enable the grinding of gears with very small modules and diameters that feature interfering contours. Conversion to the profile grinding head is completed in as little as 20 minutes.
Thread, worm and tap grinding
We offer advanced technology and customized solutions in thread grinding, worm grinding, and tap grinding. To achieve this, we use state-of-the-art CNC machines to ensure precise and complex profiles, which are essential for mechanical assemblies and transmission systems.
Hobbing
Gear hobbing is the most productive and economic way to produce gear teeth profiles on a outer diameter. For the gear cutting process, the hob cutter and the gear are building a pair similar to a worm shaft and a worm gear. To produce the required gear profile the hob cutter with a geometric defined cutting edge, is cutting with an interrupted generating cut.
Vertical turning
We offer two vertical turning center options depending on the application and the customer’s needs. The first includes the Hessapp VDM, DVH, and DVT machine series, suitable for all applications. The second option features the Felsomat FTC machine series, which is ideal for small diameters.
Horizontal turning
For crankshaft machining there is the VDF Boehringer VDF Cx series. For horizontal turning centers and horizontal turning/milling centers we have the VDF Boehringer VDF T/TM series. Finally, for universal turning centers, there is the VDF Boehringer VDF DUS series.
High-precision horizontal machining centers
Our machining centers are ideal as interlinked multi-machine systems. They can also be used as a stand-alone machine and in manufacturing cells. The convincing feature of these single-spindle CNC systems is their modular structure, which provides maximum flexibility and makes them individually configurable. This enables the main spindle to be chosen from a selection of motor and gear spindles. A ball screw or linear motor drive can be used for the axis drive. MAG SPECHT CNC systems can therefore be ideally adapted to the respective machining requirements and surrounding infrastructure.
Milling machines and machining centers
CNC milling machines (Computer Numerical Control) are machines that use programmed commands to cut and shape materials with high precision. Machining centers, on the other hand, are advanced systems that combine multiple machining functions, such as milling, drilling, and turning, into a single machine, enabling more efficient and precise manufacturing processes.
Bandsawing machines
We offer a wide range of band saws designed for various industrial applications. Our straight-cut, miter-cut, and vertical cutting machines are available in manual, semi-automatic, and automatic models, ensuring precision and efficiency in every cut. Additionally, we provide customized solutions for specific materials such as silicon, graphite, glass, and ceramics.
Cold rolling
A technique that shapes metal without the need for heating, preserving its mechanical and structural properties. This process is efficient and reduces material waste, making it ideal for producing high-precision parts such as gears, shafts, and structural components.
Laser Welding
In modern automotive transmission manufacturing, laser beam welding technology is gaining importance. To minimize distortion, laser welding is often the only viable option for assembly. The advantage of the laser energy source lies in its extremely high energy density and the small heat-affected zone it creates in the workpieces.
