Automotive Engine Rebuilder uses DeHoff Boring Technology


Monday 9 September 2019, 11:08:46 AM


The DeHoff 1036 CNC is a 3-axis boring machine used for automotive engine rebuilds. The machine is custom designed for re-boring the cam journals of automotive engine blocks during a rebuild program.

The 1036 CNC has a single spindle with a maximum boring capacity of 1 inch (25.4 mm) and maximum boring depth of 36 inches (914 mm). Multi-axis capability is provided by a “knee” table, which allows for 21.5 inches (550 mm) of X-axis travel and 12 inches (300 mm) of Y-axis travel. The machine features Beckhoff CNC controls with G-Code programming capability.

DeHoff machines feature steel box ways and hand-scraped mating components (instead of linear guide ways and milled surfaces). This results in superior vibration damping, extended tool life, and improved surface finish. DeHoff deep hole drilling and boring machines are designed and manufactured by Kays Engineering in Marshall, Missouri, USA.
