The tools of a production site are really very complicated. The deterioration of one of their parts can cause an emergency stop of production. The troubleshooting of the failed sub-element can then take time, leading to costly losses and additional costs. To avoid these risks, emergency on-site machining is the best option.
What is emergency onsite machining?
As the name implies, on-site machining involves performing remanufacturing tasks directly on site. In this method, a technician travels to the production site with a mobile machine in order to re-machine the production tools. The time to dismantle and reassemble the different parts is then optimized. In addition, the downtime of the production machine is minimal, thus limiting losses during operation.What are the various on site machining jobs?
Emergency on-site machining can occur in several areas. The technician can then perform milling, tapping, reaming, drilling, grinding or dressing work.- Surfacing and dressing actions are often performed on flat surfaces that exhibit failures. These may be defects in straightness or flatness that can cause significant damage.
- The turning, drilling and boring work is carried out on a line of shafts, threading, stern tube or turbine body.
- Grinding is usually done on bearings, shafts or bearing seats.
