Versatile
•
Available in ID or OD mount styles.
•
Options include grinding heads, flat
surface mounting, and a mounting
and facing range of up to 10 feet
(3048.0 mm) in diameter.
•
Power supply hoses attach to the top
or bottom of the machine with a
rotary union for operation in
horizontal, vertical, or inverted
positions.
Rugged and powerful
•
Large volume hydraulic motor, or
two rotational drive air motors.
•
Produces accurate machining even
at the maximum turning arm
extension.
•
Large diameter, heavy-duty Timken
bearings support the turntable sec-
tion. The turning arms are large
cross-section tubes that provide rigid,
lightweight mounting for the tool
head.
•
Smooth rotation is ensured by the
adjustable counterbalance arm and
a set of weights provided with the
machine. Properly adjusted, the
FF8000 rotates at a uniform rate,
even when mounted in vertical
flanges.
•
Precise finishes with HSS or
carbide tool bits, even on stainless
steel. Finishes as fine as RMS 16 can
be produced with the optional
grinding head.
•
The turning arms mount on the
machine turntable in dovetail ways
for easy positioning.
•
The 8.0 inch (203.2 mm) travel radial
feed is pneumatically actuated.
•
The tool head/radial feed
mechanism mounts on dovetail ways
at the end of the turning arm, to
re-face to the edge of flanges that
have very little clearance around
them, or cut right up to a shoulder.
Rotating diameter is easily adjustable
in limited clearance applications.
•
The four-inch (101.6 mm) travel
vertical feed is manually controlled
during automatic radial cutting
operations, or may be pneumatically
controlled when cutting grooves or
cutting down vertical surfaces.
•
The tool holder also rotates up to
45° in either direction for cutting
chamfers or J-weld preps.
