If the valve was welded in-line, eliminate
rewelding and recertification by
remachining in place. By eliminating
downtime and spare valve inventory
costs, you can probably pay for the
Model VM7000 by repairing just a few
valves in-line.
Capabilities
The Model VM7000 is designed to
mount directly on safety valves and
rework nozzles up to 4 inches (101.6
mm) in diameter. The VM7000 will
mount on Dresser Consolidated
Maxi-Flow valves, orifice sizes 1 through
6, and on many Crosby Safety Valves.
Any safety valve with a similar
configuration can be repaired with the
VM7000 (optional modified mounting
fixtures may be needed). Combine the
various tool bits and tool holders to
remachine valve bushing seats to the
manufacturer's original specifications.
Machine outside diameter, inside
diameter, and bushing seat faces to
close tolerances.
Features
The VM7000 consists of a compact
pneumatic power head and spindle, a
set of mounting fixtures, and tool heads
for a range of machining operations.
The power head features a 1.2 hp (0.90
kW) pneumatic motor that drives a
worm gear reduction, for plenty of
torque at the tool head. The spindle
turns in ball bearings to ensure smooth
operation.
The tooling assembly consists of the tool
head, the tool set fixture, the boring and
facing heads, and the tool bits. A draw
bolt holds the tool head to the spindle.
The tooling assembly does three basic
valve remachining operations: boring,
turning and facing.
The VM7000 mounts on the valve with
a fixturing assembly that consists of
mounting fixtures, adapter rings and
clamp bars. The adapter ring, machined
to fit standard valve bore sizes, centers
and aligns the machine in the valve
opening. The adapter ring raises the
machine slightly above the flange
surface to ensure alignment with the
valve axis, even if the valve face is
uneven due to corrosion. The valve
mounting fixture uses existing valve
flange studs.
Now you can repair a safety valve in about
the same time it would take to remove the
damaged valve.
