Honing machine

Abstract

A honing machine for machining workpieces that have at least one bore to be machined by means of honing, comprises a plurality of workstations (180-1, 180-2), wherein at least one of the workstations is configured as a honing station (180-1, 180-2) that comprises at least one honing unit (150-1, 150-2) that has a spindle shaft (152) that is rotatable about a vertical spindle axis (155) by means of a rotary drive and is movable back and forth parallel to the spindle axis by means of a reciprocating drive. The honing machine has a pallet transport system (200) internal to the machine, for transporting workpieces from and to the workstations (180-1, 180-2) by means of pallets (210-1, 210-2). The pallet transport system (200) is designed such that different transport paths are freely configurable via a control unit (190) of the honing machine (200).
