equipment, which bores out valve seats progressively from the inside out with a fine cut.<br\/>Back then, the industry coined the term \u201cto hunger valve seats.\u201d<br\/>Starting in 1970, tools and machines for the reconditioning of large diesel engines were developed in close cooperation with a leading large engine manufacturer.<\/p><p> <\/p><p> <br\/><br\/> <\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\"

for boring out valve seats of large diesel engines in particular have undergone continuous advancement.<br\/>With the modular VD4E lathe, valve seats can be machined, valve seat bores turned, sealing surfaces faced, and conical surfaces on the valve cage reconditioned.<br\/>Since 2010, we have also supplied cylinder liner honing machines, injector test benches, and high-pressure hydraulic power packs.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8be7286 e-con e-atomic-element e-flexbox-base e-default-div e-c2d8164 \"
