The Climax Model VM9000 is a portable
valve repair system designed to repair
MSIV and other globe valves from
356mm–762mm (14"–30") in diameter.
It will machine and grind pressure-seal
bores, guide ribs and seats. Switch from
single-point machining to grinding in
minutes. Grinding head produces a 16
Ra finish for assurance of LLRT passage.
Extremely versatile, one set-up for multi-
ple procedures The VM9000 machining
system repairs MSIV seats, guide ribs and
pressure seal surfaces. No need to pur-
chase separate tools for each process.
Plus with one set-up you can perform
both single-point machining and grind-
ing procedures.
Quick set-up reduces radiation exposure
The VM9000 has been designed for fast,
easy set-up in potentially contaminated
or “hot” areas. The open design of the
machine allows excellent visibility for
viewing machining operations and all
operational controls are on top of the
machine for easy access. The system
includes a specially designed angle lift
arm for rapid insertion and removal of
the VM9000 into and from angled valve
housings.
Six built-in alignment instruments pro-
vide fast centering All support chucks are
adjustable from the top of the valve plus
a specially designed quick adjustment sys-
tem features six built-in alignment instru-
ments for fast tool centering. This unique
feature also allows you to utilize the tool
as it's own mapping and surveying device
once you have the VM9000 centered in
your valve.
Unique dual-power system provides
safe, high quality performance The
VM9000 includes two separate power
sources. A compact, hydraulic motor
provides plenty of low-speed torque for
precise control of the rotational drive.
Two precision pneumatic drive systems
provide power for the axial feed system
and for the accessory grinding attach-
ment. The pneumatic system has been
designed to protect the operator from
coming into contact with potentially
contaminated particles that may be
formed during the valve repair process.
