Throughout the nineteen nineties, the single pass superabrasive process has been dramatically gaining popularity among the manufacturing sector as a means of obtaining the competitive edge over the competition. This edge is the result of companies achieving one or more of the following benefits associated with this process while finishing the inside diameter of components in production: improved size control (as good as .001mm in production); improved bore geometry (as good as .0005mm in production); improved surface finish (to better than 0.1 Ra in most material); shorter cycle times; less operator skill requirements; predictable, consistent results that lend themselves well to statistical process control; long tool life; and lower overall cost per finished piece.
