It provides single setup processing of hydraulic valves, sleeves, fuel system components and other parts that are prone to distortion when honed.

The walkaway system uses an index table to automatically lap and air gage bores throughout the cycle. Gage readings are fed back to the control and the cycle is repeated until the parts are within spec.

It handles workpiece diameters from 6.5 to 20 mm and lengths up to 12 times the bore diameter, not exceeding 200 mm. Spindle speed range is 100 to 2000 rpm during lapping, but is capable of slow speeds for non-powered steps. Stroker speed is 0-350 SPM, with stroke length optimised to achieve a high degree of cylindricity.
