The
response and feedback on the new CLIMAX FF6300 Flange Facer has been terrific.
Operators are utilizing this tool for many more applications than its
predecessor the FF6200, with the most experienced machinists in the
world wanting even more! We listened and we are excited to introduce
the new FF6300 feedbox which gives operators the best of both worlds
- infinitely variable feed rate AND rock solid consistency.
In
many flange facing applications the ability to infinitely adjust the
feed rate is needed in order to achieve the required surface finish.
In addition, a common challenge with on-site flange repair is having
access to ideal and consistent air volume and pressure. Significant
loss of air can greatly impact the performance of air-powered
equipment.
The
new FF6300 feedbox allows any feed rate to be selected from .002 -
.035 inches/rev (.08 - .089 mm/rev) by using a mechanical adjustment
screw on the feedbox. The adjustment screw sets a hard stop for the
ratchet arm that turns the leadscrew and advances the feed. This hard
stop and the associated feed rate can only be changed by the operator
and will return to the same point every time, even with significantly
reduced air pressure and flow.
