Meeting tolerances measured in microns while churning out more than 4,000 parts per day might seem like a daunting manufacturing challenge. However, at Tier 1 automotive supplier Cloyes Gear and Products' plant in Subiaco, Arkansas, this is standard procedure for the production of variable valve timing (VVT) stators. The company attributes the consistent, worry-free nature of its stator production in large part to the use of a VSS-2 single-pass honing machine from Sunnen (St. Louis, Missouri). By simplifying the sizing of the stators' segmented bores, this machine has eliminated a production headache and reduced scrap.
