The close tolerance requirement of the 24mm diameter bore
and an irregular shaped casting, makes the automobile water
pump housing an ideal honing application.
An indexing fixture allows loading of the component during the
honing cycle.
Automatic size control consists of a plug which enters the bore
when the required size is obtained and is instrumental in
terminating the honing cycle.
