In its simplest form, precision machining entails taking a larger piece of material and removing the extra to produce a smaller amount of material. A material removal method is used to modify the more significant part of the material. This tiny bit of material will fit precisely where required and can be used to complete its intended duty efficiently. It typically involves cutting materials into precise shapes and sizes, so various equipment is needed.
Mobile onsite equipment with machine shop tolerances is available for repair work on flanges, heat exchangers, cover joints, boiler manways, industrial pipelines, base plates, crane pedestals, and welded valve and vessel joints up to 130.
When Machining is done onsite, the portable machine is brought to the project and set up before being clamped to the component that has to be machined. Because of this, Machining may be done on any part and anywhere without entirely disassembling the machinery and moving it.
Wellube has many pneumatic and hydraulic machinery that may be used effectively and safely in dangerous environments. The skilled technical staff can do onsite Machining at numerous project locations, enabling clients to significantly reduce their transportation, labour, time, and money costs.
Applications included in Onsite Precision Machining
Flange facing
Certain tolerances can be achieved when Machining flanges with a diameter of up to 3.3 metres.
Surface milling
Turbine half joint covers, pumps, compressor mounting pads, heat exchanger pass bars, and divisional slots are a few examples of the kind of work that is typically carried out utilising this equipment.
Pipe cold cutting and beveling
With our selection of portable pipe-cutting devices, pipes, and vessels can be cut to any desired diameter.
Drilling
Standard drilling machines can create holes up to 8 inches in diameter and 1 metre in depth. The conventional line of cutting and facing machines may be used to trepan holes with a wider diameter.
Why is Onsite Machining required?
Throughout its creation, erection, and maintenance, massive equipment requires onsite Machining for the produced components that are challenging or often impossible to fit onto a typical machine.
Onsite Machining makes it easier to complete demanding, high-precision machining tasks without sacrificing quality standards. Because it can be done anywhere and requires no disassembling or moving, it also saves money and time.
Advantages of Onsite Machining
Budgets are tight in this fiercely competitive economic climate. Every penny which is saved counts. The highest quality at the lowest price is what customers desire. High-performance standards, precision, and quality are essential. Today’s entrepreneurs are the ones who come up with cost-cutting strategies to save both time and money.
Issues must be located and precisely fixed as soon as possible. Repairs cost money in lost time. It exceeds the budget for the company. The organisation loses money if the company’s costs are higher than expected.
Company workers can perform high-end, precise Machining on site utilising portable machinery. Instead of spending time transporting a malfunctioning machine to a machine shop and back to the job site, accurate machines may now be transported to the problem. One of the main benefits of onsite Machining is this.
The need for a workshop to complete the repairs is gone. Despite this, it may now be completed onsite.
You can transport the workshop to the working site by using portable equipment. Onsite Machining also has the following benefits:
- Onsite machines reduce logistic costs
- Reduce downtime
- Improve bottom line
- Costly downtime is cut to a minimum
