Adapt tape & shoe applications SPMS’s range of products and solutions Tape Superfinishing with micro- film Micro-abrasive tapes are widely used for superfinishing of crankshafts, camshafts, gear and balance shafts as well as steering racks, pinion gears and a wide range of cylindrical type parts. The micro-abrasive tapes are used to rapidly cut the higher regions of the surface. Tape superfinishing offers the best results for surface texture ratios and geometric conditions ensuring the work piece bearing performs at optimum condition. As a consumable tool, micro-abrasive tapes are complex to manage as compared to stone. SPMS machines have in-built tape indexation and preventive failure solution that enables machines to run even without changing tooling for days.

There are 2 main types of tooling: Rollers and Shoes Rollers for or shoes where bearing geometry is critical. Both types of tooling is available in hard polyurethane, vitrified stone, and/ or hard coated tooling to meet specific production & quality demands. SPMS can offer micro-abrasive tape tooling for both internal and external applications on a wide range of single station or multiple station transfer machines. Stone Superfinishing with micro-abrasive stone Superfinishing stones are usually tailor made for the user application.The size of the stone varies as per the work material. Superfinishing stones significantly reduce the friction caused to the metal in polishing. Micro abrasive stones are very important for complex surfaces such as flat surfaces or spherical surfaces where generative manufacturing solutions are required. Here, tape has restrictions in terms of its ability to interfere with the work surface. However, the superfinishing process is almost same from the smallest stone size to largest stone size. It improves the surface texture and generates perfect geometry through generative machining of the specific work piece. SPMS stone superfinishing machines start from single station machines to multiple station transfer machines for large engine block seal face. Here, planetary finishing is performed using 1 Meter diameter segmented cup wheels.

Custom built solutions for gearbox application SPMS is a leader in providing custom- built superfinishing solutions for gearbox applications. SPMS was the first among its competitors to use micro-abrasive tape with flexible tooling. It is used in optimising shaft bearing geometry conditions.Till date, SPMS has handled various applications of its finishing technology. This includes cylindrical bearing surfaces to planetary sealing faces and spherical ball joint finishing. Crankshaft Deep fillet rolling is a method of cold working and burnishing of fillet on crankshafts to increase the strength and durability. The SPMS deep deep fillet rolling fillet rolling machines use advanced control processes that allows the end-user to optimise the production quality and cycle time output. This offers flexibility in terms of producing a wide range of parts in high volumes.

Deep fillet rolling for crankshaft reinforcement Deburring impregnated abrasive brush type tooling SPMS first introduced deburring to its product range as an integrated solution for camshaft superfinishing, supplying its first ever machine for deburring camshaft lobe edges prior to superfinishing. With its many years of experience with both cast iron and steel deburring, this technology now extends to crankshafts for counterweight, flange-end bolt holes, as well as various types of gear shafts for gear and spline edges. As a part of its deburring technology, SPMS uses its force-control technology to ensure constant cutting conditions and tool wear compensation.

Unique tooling as compared to traditional filaments. It has abrasive grains exposed on all surfaces of the brush filament.
