APPLICATION SPOTLIGHT: CM6200 VESSEL REPAIR

Advanced Portable Machining, based in Calmar, Alberta, Canada, repaired a 192-inch (4876.8 mm) support ring inside a vessel 5 feet (1524 mm) down. The ring was overlayed with stainless steel and needed to be machined down to specification. Foot supports were built as the CLIMAX CM6200 circular mill was past the max clamping distance. Each cut took 1 hour to complete. Three rings to complete, 18-day job.

The CLIMAX CM6200 Circular Mill:

For machining large flanges 73.5 – 199 inches (1866.9 – 5054.6 mm) in diameter and featuring a center machine clearance designed to fit over 24 inches (609.6 mm) diameter kingpins, this Circular Mill can be configured for powerful milling, single-Point machining, and grinding operations. Extraordinary rigidity, versatility, and power are at your fingertips – this machine can handle your toughest large flange machining jobs quickly and efficiently. For smaller ranges, view the FF7200 or FF8200 Flange Facers.
