Japan’s Takezawa Seiki is pioneer in single pass honing machines and honing reamers is going to start its fully servo controlled and ECO models honing machines production in India jointly with Arhan Technology/Miyakawa Kogyo India Pvt Ltd. This will enable Indian customers to get Japanese machines at economical pricing than import from Japan with total local support.

Takezawa Seiki machines allow honing process in just a single pass and at the same time increase tool life four times that of ordinary metal working tools. These machines allow profitable parts production to customers.

Fully servo controlled machines has all servo axis and complete control over the process for highest accuracy. Takezawa has unique patented micro-oscillations honing technology. This technology gives superior finish for both ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Standard honing machines have tool reciprocating cycles. Other honing machine manufacturers use multi-station index system and claim for single pass honing; while Takezawa Seiki offer true single pass honing in single station with single tool process for material removal up to 30 microns.

Machine models with maximum honing capacity of dia 20, 30, 60 mm will be manufactured in India. These machines will enable mass production with improved productivity, superior part quality and reduction in cost/piece. These machines are capable of processing cast steel, cast iron, stainless steel, carbon steel and also aluminium, aluminium alloy material. These aluminium and copper honing applications are new in Indian industries.

Takezawa machines with Takezawa reamers are capable of entire honing process in just a single pass with a roundness of 0.5 micron and surface finish of 0.5S. Part cylindricity is also improved. Takezawa will be able to offer complete solution of Machine + Tool + Fixture. Takezawa makes various types of reamers, Expansion Type, Head Expansion, Spiral Groove, Non-Expansion, Expansion with separate reamer external body type (only abrasive part replacement). The Takezawa Seiki’s knowhow in diamond and borazon CBN has enabled long life with more abrasion resistance. In expansion type reamers Takezawa Seiki will use high precision parts from Japan and original Japanese precision parts, drives, controls and motors in these machines. Non precision parts will be manufactured in India and total assembly, testing will be conducted with Japanese manufacturing system to have Japanese quality.

Takezawa Seiki will give Japanese expert solutions to Indian customers. Takezawa Seiki has arranged demo of these machines for customers in January, February 2017 at its Indian facilities. Please contact contact@arhan.co.in for more machine details and machine demonstration visit.
