Lathes for precise turning of fittings
Advanced Turning Machines for Precise Valve Machining
EFCO's portable and stationary lathes have been developed for precise valve machining and are suitable for facing, taper turning, radius turning, bore turning and axial grooving. They are used to precisely machine flanges, grooves, sealing surfaces, bore walls, bolts, manholes, motor housings, RTJ grooves and much more.
Our advanced CNC lathes for machining fittings make it much easier to machine complex contours while remaining extremely user-friendly. With state-of-the-art technology, they deliver precise and efficient results and are an indispensable tool for demanding industrial applications.
Technical features:
The combination of turning technology, controlled turning process and modular turning machine supports operators in the economical maintenance of safety-critical valves. Quality assurance in accordance with ISO 9001.

Development of our precision lathes
Growing efficiency requirements in plant maintenance are increasing the need for precise and flexible lathe technology. Our modern industrial lathes for metalworking are specially developed for service applications on valves and flanges.
We use stationary lathes or mobile lathes for valves, for example as externally clamping CNC flange lathes for machining sealing and connection surfaces. In addition, precision lathes and portable lathes are available for hire to efficiently carry out maintenance work directly on installed components.
