CNC lathes for machining valves
Machining complex contours without programming knowledge
Portable lathes for the repair of permanently installed valves have been around for a long time. However, only simple shapes are possible with them. If you want to machine complex shapes, you need CNC-controlled machines, which usually require complex programming. EFCO has developed portable lathes with CNC-control that can be easily operated by the user without extensive knowledge of programming languages. They make maintenance more flexible, cheaper and faster.
Portable CNC-controlled lathe (TD CNC)
The CNC series lathes open up almost unlimited possibilities for turning surfaces in and on valves. In addition, we achieve a whole new quality in the machining of flanges and valve seats.
Due to the pre-programmed processing cycles, the machines of the TD CNC series are immediately ready for use and can be operated after only a short instruction and without prior knowledge of CNC-programming. Of course, it is also possible to expand the program package of the machine with your own CNC programs.
Portable CNC flange facer (TDF CNC)
The TDF CNC is optimized for machining flanges due to its low overall height and large axial stroke. The robust design allows it to be used very well for axial grooving and machining of grooves.
Stationary CNC lathe for valves (PDM)
PDM machines are designed for the axial machining and facing of fitting housings (gate valves, valves, check valves), pumps and similar rotationally symmetrical components.
They have infinitely variable speed control and axial and radial feeds (Z and X axis) with infinitely variable control that make it possible to move both axes simultaneously at different speeds.
Stationary CNC machining center for valves (SPM)
The optimum solution for complete machining of valves, for general overhaul and also for use in production.
The machines of the SPM range have precision inclination tables (±12°, accuracy ±10“) and have been optimised for more efficient machining of valves.
