HIGHLIGHTED CUSTOM PROJECTS
MIRROR BORING MACHINE
The Mirror Boring Machine is a precision machine tool that attaches to the front face of a turbine coupling with an electromagnetic chuck and precisely bores the bolt holes.
TURBINE SPOT FACE GRINDING MACHINE
One machine with small and large machining range options covering a wide range of couplings. Precision mounting collets, fine grinding wheel adjustment and simplicity of machine design provides a versatile, quick to set up and highly accurate grinding solution.
FINAL DRILLING OF HELICOPTER STORAGE RAILS
The customer was utilizing an older tape-driven drilling machine that was damaged in a hurricane. They requested that the machine be repaired and upgraded to include programmable logic control (PLC) to provide more efficient operation.
LARGE-SCALE VERTICAL MILLING MACHINE
The customer was looking for a more efficient method to repair the lock doors that would cause no significant delays in the flow of shipping to the cities downstream. CLIMAX designed, fabricated and two large-scale, custom-made vertical milling machines.
GANTRY VALVE TESTER
A variation from the standard CALDER USV product line, the custom USVG-24-300T valve tester was engineered to optimize loading, unloading, and hydrostatic valve testing of large control valves
MOBILE VALVE WORKSHOP
The Mobile Valve Workshop containers are customizable and configurable – designed specifically to meet the most complex valve testing and repair challenges. With multiple portable container sizes available, the CALDER Mobile Valve Workshop can meet your “impossible” challenge head-on and anywhere.
COMPACT DRILL
Our family of customizable Compact Drilling Machines is ideal for machining applications that call for drilling holes up to 2.5 inches (63.5 mm) in a single pass, step drilling, or roto-broaching up to 4.5 inches (114.3 mm) and back-spot facing up to 5.2 inches (132.1 mm). This machine meets tight side clearances, which require holes within 2.5 inches (63.5 mm) of obstruction with overhead clearances as low as 15 inches (381 mm).
