How do we machine cylinder heads to improve gasket sealing? What parameters control surface finish? How do we get the perfect finish?

Rottler’s Ryan Thompson answers these questions for you by diving into how speeds and feeds affect roughness values, and what it takes to get your perfect surface finish.

Starting with a new Chevy small block aluminum cylinder head (thanks Straub Technologies!), Ryan demonstrates how to measure the out-of-the-box surface finish using a profilometer.

Then he moves the head over to a Rottler surfacing machine to run five passes at different feed rates (.025 inches per revolution – .005 IPR at 1,000 RPM) and measures the surface finish after each pass.

Which combination of feeds and speeds provides the best finish? Watch the video and find out!

Equipment in the video:

• Rottler S86A CNC Surfacing Machine
• Rottler 6303M PCD Cutting Insert
• TraceBoss Surface Roughness Measurement Software
• USB Profilometer

For episode 19 of the Rottler Featured Series, we’re in Piney Flats, Tennessee, home of Straub Technologies.

There we catch up with Chris Straub & company to see how he and his people use their suite of Rottler Machinery (they have one of every machine we make!) to keep the business running even when the lights are off.

Chris and his four guys leverage Rottler’s automation features—set it and forget it—to do the work of 12 people.

The machines you’ll see in the video include:

• F69 – Programmable Automatic Machining Center
• EM69HP – CNC Machining Center
• SG9MTS – Seat & Guide Machine
• H85AXY – Automatic Vertical Honing Machine

The EM69HP is Rottler’s cylinder head porting and custom block work 5 Axis CNC Machining Center. The EM69HP offers the precision and speed needed to reproduce cylinder heads with exceptional accuracy – with no handwork required.

The EM69HP also has the capability of porting intake manifolds with the same techniques used to port cylinder heads while also performing engine block jobs such as boring, surfacing, lifter boring, line boring, lightening and engraving, plus many additional machining requirements.

You’ve already learned about set up, digitizing ports, and generating tool paths. So, in this bonus installment of the porting series, we’ll show you the entire auto cycle process, from start to finish.

In the third installment of our porting series, Ryan demonstrates the vast capabilities of the proprietary Rottler porting software. Making adjustments to port geometry, calculating port volume, creating dimple toolpaths…. it’s all here! The Rottler porting software gives any user endless capabilities with just a few clicks!

In our second installment to our porting series. Ryan shows us the process of digitizing an LS cylinder head right on the machine! In this video we reveal what makes the EM69HP just so special, the ability to take any port and convert the physical port to a digital model in just a few simple steps!
