Rottler H87AXY CNC Automatic Vertical Honing Machine with Hole-to-Hole Automation

The Rottler H87AXY is a high-capacity CNC vertical honing machine engineered for professional engine builders, diesel rebuilders, and industrial machining operations that require exceptional automation, precision, and throughput. As the larger companion to the H85AXY, the H87AXY offers increased bore diameter range, expanded stroke capacity, and an enlarged work envelope — making it suitable for heavy-duty diesel blocks, large industrial cylinders, and multi-bore production work.

 

Featuring CNC-controlled X and Y axis positioning, the H87AXY automatically indexes from hole to hole, allowing complete multi-cylinder honing cycles with virtually no operator involvement. Its advanced servo stroking, automatic geometry correction, and final-size control ensure world-class accuracy in straightness, roundness, taper reduction, and plateau finishing.

 

For shops that demand maximum automation and minimal handling, the H87AXY can be paired with optional block rollover systems and tooling packages for fully integrated production workflows.

Key Features

  • CNC-Controlled X & Y Axis Positioning: Enables fully automated hole-to-hole movement — essential for staggered, offset, or multi-bank cylinder layouts.
  • High-Capacity Honing Envelope: Larger bore range and extended stroke capacity compared to the H85 series, ideal for big diesel and industrial blocks.
  • Automatic Hole-to-Hole Indexing: Machine automatically aligns with each cylinder, dramatically reducing operator time and improving cycle consistency.
  • Advanced Bore Geometry Correction: Active servo control compensates for out-of-round, taper, and barrel shape during honing for exceptional accuracy.
  • Heavy-Duty Servo Stroking System: Provides precise vertical control of dwell, crosshatch angle, stroking speed, and plateau finishing cycles.
  • High-Torque Spindle for Modern Abrasives: Handles diamond, vitrified, and superabrasive tooling for consistent, repeatable surface finishes.
  • Rottler Touchscreen CNC Interface: Stores job files, allows quick setup, provides customizable strategies, and offers full automation control.
  • Automatic Final Size Shutdown: Machine measures and stops automatically when bore reaches the programmed diameter — eliminating guesswork.
  • Industrial-Grade Construction: Cast-iron column, reinforced base, and rigid honing structure maintain accuracy during extended production runs.
  • Ideal for High-Volume Diesel & Industrial Work: Perfect for large multi-bore engines, industrial cylinders, marine, mining, locomotive, agricultural, and power-generation applications.

Built on Real Engine-Rebuilding Experience

Decades before today’s engine shops trusted our equipment, Tony was already deep in the craft — rebuilding motors, machining blocks, and pushing for better precision.

A local newspaper once featured him as a standout young machinist, noting his drive, attention to detail, and obsession with doing things the right way. That same passion would eventually shape our company’s values.

Today, that commitment lives on in every machine we sell, every customer we support, and every shop we help succeed.
