the
GII™ CONCEPT: the very same
WORK QUALITY
a
REVOLUTION for an EVOLUTION regardless of
VALVE GUIDE SIZES
The GII™ technology, a new principle that includes:
Specifically designed to machine all cylinder heads,
regardless of their size, shape and weight and can
• a machining head, moving on an air cushion and locked

hydraulically, no longer plays a role in the centering
process of the spindle.
The entire range of the table of the machine can be
equally employed and the same job quality expected since
• The Heptax™ spindle combines the horizontal air cushion

movement and the rotation of a constraint free sphere (the
process of the spindle (the air supply and electrical cables

of the machine no longer pull on the head of the machine
process has been reduced ten fold). A very precise
and do not affect the centering of the pilot).
centering is achieved even with pilots diameters inferior
to 4mm (.16”).

• The spindle travels vertically within a self-balanced

system, Pantograph™ (Patented), and allows machining
with the spindle retracted, regardless of the position of the
seat to be machined.

• The cylinder head can be clamped as desired on the

fixed table without having to worry about its vertical
position with respect to the spindle. A quick and efficient
clamping systems adds to the equipment of the machine
(SGC200M).

• The combination of a Servo-Motor and a new

transmission (Patented) allows for ideal speeds and torque
levels for the machining of all types of materials.

• The automatic functioning of the spindle feed, coupled

with simple programs meeting everybody’s needs, allows
the precise and comfortable implementation of all the
machining operations involved in the repair process of
cylinder heads (Servo Cut™).

• All the machining parameters can be committed to

memory on microchip cards (Engine Data Memory™).

GII™: a completely universal

machine that can be used by
anyone, without any particular
training, while
guarantying:

• quality
• precision
• repetitivity
• speed
• comfort
• ugradability

the
PANTOGRAPH™ SYSTEM (Patented)
A unique Pantograph™ system brings the head of the machine
to the valve seat to be machined. In all circumstances, the
spindle is always retracted at the start of the machining
operations guarantying optimum rigidity and balance.
NEWEN® has observed that it was difficult to position the
valve seats of a cylinder head at a certain height with respect
to an ideal machining position of the spindle of the machine.
Cylinder heads come in a variety of shapes and sizes and,
when it comes to multi-valve cylinder heads, the valve seat
to be machined inevitably ends up at different heights.
NEWEN® has therefore opted for a machining head directly
adjustable in height to allow a simple and natural clamping
of any cylinder head.
This vertical travel (Z Axis) is instantaneous owing to the
Patented Pantograph System™ articulated on play free and
maintenance free axles.
The locking and unlocking of this system is instantaneous
owing to the powerfull hydraulic system used throughout the
machine.
In addition to being virtually maintenance free, this very
unique system offers unmatched comfort and flexibility.
The Pantograph™ is the fastest concept to lower a pilot within
a valve guide. No slides eliminates the risk of wear and
related hazards.
The Pantograph™ allows for a simpler and more robust lower
table which becomes a
wide and very rigid work
area that can
accommodate
several cylinder heads
at a time.

The Servo-Motor develops in excess of five horse power and
provides spindle speeds ranging from five to fifteen hundred
rotations per minute. It is located inside the Pantograph™ in
the axis of the sphere.
A high precision spiral bevelled gear, immersed in oil,
located at the center of the sphere, drives the very compact
and rigid spindle, which is itself guided by a set of high
precision pre-loaded radial tapered bearings.
This new kinematics (Patented) allows the transmission of
torque and speed essential to cut the hardest materials.
For the first time, a Servo-Motor is offered on a seat and
guide machine. This new technology, typically only avail-
able on CNC machines such as machining centers, offers,
power, torque and precision characteristics unmatched by
other systems available on the market.
the
HEPTAX™ SPINDLE
The automatic centering of the spindle of a seat & guide
machine that takes its reference within valve guides with
diameters ranging from below 4mm (.16”) to 25mm (1”)
requires optimum sensitivity and rigidity.
NEWEN has developed the new HEPTAX™ spindle (Patented)
featuring no less than 5 axes and degrees of freedom to add
to the two travel axes (X and Y) of the machine head on its
horizontal air cushion.
• X’ Axis on air cushion and automatic re-centering.
• Y’ Axis on air cushion and automatic re-centering.
• Pivoting point “C” of the sphere on retractable balls and
automatic re-centering (maintenance free).
• Z Axis of the vertical travel of the spindle by way of the
Pantograph™.
• Z’ Axis, spindle sheat and travel, controlled by high
precision ball screw and driven by a stepper motor and its
electronic drive.

The synchronized use of the above mentioned axes is
automatic and does not require any intervention of the
operator.
The NEWEN HEPTAX™ spindle is made of adavanced alloys
and provides for a perfect centering combining lightness,
robustness, rigidity and balance regardless of the diameter of
the pilot used.
The HEPTAX™ spindle with its five axes of freedom
added to the two X and Y axes of the displacement of the
head of the machine on its upper frame
competition, whether it be at low speeds or high speeds.
The continuous monitoring of the rotation of the motor by a
tachometer ensures an instantaneous control of the quality of
the rotation.
The HEPTAX™ spindle is driven in its vertical Z’ axis by a
precision satellite roller screw itself driven by a stepper
motor. The overall system is controlled by the electronics
built into the head of the machine which allows to program
all the down travels that one can imagine.

the
PERFECT MASTERING
of all the
CUTTING PARAMETERS
Modern engines feature valve seats made of materials more
and more advanced and resistant, and more difficult to
machine than ever before.

NEWEN® has therefore put a lot of emphasis on giving its

machine characteristics that:
• maximize the results that one can get with commonly used
tungsten carbide form tips.
• make possible the use of new cutting tips that will
necessarily become available on the market in the years to
come.

The HEPTAX™ spindle and its Servo-Motor yield a torque

level many times superior to that achieved by the

 For production runs, thousands of valve seats can be cut with
the exact same precision without having to adjust anything.
With the HEPTAX™ spindle, all the cutting parameters are
constantly monitored and controlled:
• rotation speed adjusted within a few rotations.
• spindle feed infinitely variable and controlled throughout
the entire speed range.
• feed speed per revolution adjustable from 5 microns
(.0002”) to 0,4mm (.015”).
• machining depth, controlled at the press of a button,
adjustable from 0,01mm (.0004”) to 0,20mm (.0008”) every
0,01mm (.0004”).
The perfect mastering of all the cutting parameters is the only
way to guarantee a precise and infinitely repeatable machin-
ing where the operator, irrespective of his/her skills, will not
influence the workmanship due to lack of attention, fatigue,
bad assessment, etc...
The automatization of the machining cycles and the master-
ing of all the parameters are the only way to guarantee a
repetitive quality at a minimum cost.
NEWEN is the first and only manufacturer in the automotive
aftermarket industry to apply this industrial truth, proven
beyond any shadow of doubt in the industry in general, to
the engine rebuilding industry.
2 - Total mastering of the speed and feed per
revolution (Servo Cut™)
needed to initiate a cut and take into account the following
points:
• total machining depth, controlled at the push of a button
adjustable from 5 microns (.0002”) to 0,2mm (.008”).
• the feed per revolution which, in fact, defines the thickness
of the cut that the operator wants to take. The carbide tip
will travel down smoothly, applying an even pressure
throughout the entire machining process.
• once it has ended its downward feed spiral and has
reached the desired depth, the carbide form tip completes
one final revolution without feeding further in order to
achieve a perfectly round and flat valve seat surface. Ulti-
mately, the carbide tip will travel another few degrees to
make the entire machined surface perfectly even. Conse-
quently, once the carbide form tip has ended its downfeed, it
travels approximately 380 degrees before it automatically
lifts up a few tenths of a millimeter in order not to drag on
the valve seat, without cutting, which would cause vibrations
and premature wear of the carbide tip. This “polishing”
phenomenon is very frequently observed on all manual seat
& guide machines.
Should the cut not be sufficient - for example, part of the
valve seat remains to be machined- the operator can press
“STEP” as many times as desired to lower the carbide tip
closer to the valve seat in an amount equal to the distance
previously travelled upward to clear the carbide tip and to
initiate a new cut according to a new input value.

The same “operation” can be repeated as many times as

desired by pressing on “STEP”.
