Original Press Release:


Sunnen KGM® 5000 KROSSGRINDING® System Holds Tightest Tolerances


The KGM® 5000 KROSSGRINDING® System delivers extreme accuracy in bore sizing and finishing and is ideal for low- to mid-production applications, delivering precision, roundness, straightness, bore size and finish like no other on the market.

The KGM 5000 offers consistent bore size control with unparalleled roundness and is capable of holding the tightest tolerances in the industry - tolerances superior to I.D. grinding. The system can deliver accuracies as good as 0,00025 mm (0.000010") in a production environment.

A horizontal, single spindle system, the KGM 5000 is designed for jobs that require ultra accurate size control. The system uses both KROSSGRINDING plated diamond tooling and TurboHone® single-or multi-stone tooling. The KROSSGRINDING tool is the choice when extreme accuracy and long life is desired (tool wear is next to zero per cycle). For fast stock removal, Sunnen's TurboHone mandrels will get the job done.

The KGM 5000 is easy to set up and operate, even by lower skilled operators. Simple setups can be accomplished with the menu-driven Windows NT operating system. With the standard program storage, separate setups can be entered and saved for future production runs. Computer control and adjustment of all machine settings ensures accuracy and reliability.
