Climax develops milling machine for pump parts

The machine, reportedly the world’s first, is designed with a split rail system that enables the milling machine to be configured to perform both linear milling and gantry milling.  

Excess vibration can cause damage to internal components in pumps, motors and other rotating and reciprocating machinery and ultimately may lead to a shutdown in operations. The product can re-machine pump motor mounts, base plate or platforms on site to exact tolerances, allowing the equipment to get back on line and in full operation.

Climax's milling machines have a rigid, modular bed design allows shorter bed sections to be combined to fit the length of the work area as needed without losing rigidity, and to extend the bed by 2 or 3 times its original length. In-house and field service machinists who work in power generation, mining and heavy construction, oil and gas, processing, and shipbuilding industries can now perform on-site machining of a wider variety of large surface areas without multiple setups.  

The machines are available in two models, the LM5200 and the LM6200. The Climax LM5200 model can be configured to bed lengths of 48, 72 and 96 in (1219.2 mm, 1828.8 mm and 2438.4 mm) and RAM lengths of 26 or 44 in (660.4 mm or 1117.6 mm) while the Climax LM6200 model can be configured to bed lengths from 48 to 192 in (1219.2 mm to 4876.88 mm) with RAM lengths of 36, 48, 82 and 116 in (914.4 mm, 1219.2 mm, 2082.8 mm and 2946.4 mm).
