Line Boring machines cut the inside of a bore to enlarge its diameter. Boring machines are developed to make a bore in the shortest time and produce the highest possible surface finish and tolerances.
A boring machine bores holes in heavy construction equipment such as cranes and end loaders, and is very economical equipment. A portable boring machine is a flexible, powerful, and easy to use machine that is available with a pneumatic or hydraulic drive.
There are several functions of a line boring machine. A boring machine is capable of measuring bores using calibrated internal and external micrometers and its size ranges from 50mm to 2000mm in diameter.
Line Boring machines are used in many applications, including re boring of holes on dozers, backhoes, and end loaders. Additionally boring perform repairs to areas such as backhoe and track hoe buckets, articulating joints, wheel loader arm pin-holes, and hinge points in tilt bed trailers, and steering axle sleeves in heavy duty fork trucks.
The advantages of using portable boring equipment is precision field machining repairs can be made on site and in-place. A minimum amount of dismantling is required, unbolting leaks and down time are minimized, and productivity is increased.
