H80 Series: CNC vertical honing machines
Surface finish is what separates an ordinary engine from one that performs. It is also the hardest thing to reproduce block after block. The H80 Series was designed for exactly that: a constant, accurate crosshatch over the full length of the cylinder, honing pressure controlled continuously, and every cylinder finished to exactly the same size, automatically.
Compatible with diamond and CBN stones, the H80 Series guarantees a perfect surface finish whether the block is cast iron or aluminum. With diamond abrasives and water-soluble honing oil, operating costs are kept to a minimum.
Rottler · CNC vertical honing machinesH80 SeriesHoning without an operator
Press “start” and walk away: automatic stone loading, cylinder-to-cylinder honing, stones retracted at the end of the cycle for a bore without a single scratch. A complete V block honed with no intervention (AX/AXY versions).
Automatic crash protection
At every cycle start the machine checks for interference at the bottom of the bore before starting rotation and stroking — no more honing heads, stone holders and diamond abrasives destroyed by a cylinder skirt.
Perfect geometry
Automatic load control for perfectly cylindrical bores, constant crosshatch angle over the full length, built-in Plateau mode. The CNC finishes every cylinder to the same size.
Maximum productivity
Honing head changed in seconds without tools, Windows touch-screen software with online assistance, coolant tank with enhanced filtration for minimal maintenance.
The H80 Series models.
The reference automatic CNC honing machine: fully automated cycle on one cylinder, manual move from cylinder to cylinder.
Adds cylinder-to-cylinder automation on the X axis: a complete bank of cylinders honed unattended.
X and Y automation for blocks with offset cylinders, with optional programmable rotary fixture: an entire V block honed automatically, including coolant drain at the end of the cycle. Two opposed blocks (Subaru type) can be honed in one setup.

- Motorcycle, marine and industrial cylinders
Before you choose.
Which model hones a whole block without an operator?
H85AX for a complete bank of cylinders (X-axis automation); H85AXY for an entire V block, with an optional programmable rotary fixture. The H85A automates the cycle on one cylinder, the move from cylinder to cylinder stays manual.
Diamond or CBN?
Both: diamond or CBN stones depending on the material, cast iron or aluminum, and the surface finish required. With diamond abrasives and water-soluble honing oil, operating costs are kept to a minimum.
How does the machine avoid breaking a honing head?
With crash protection: at every cycle start it checks for interference at the bottom of the bore before starting rotation and stroking.
