Portable Radial Planer

Flange Facer is a multi-utility machine and it can also be used for doing other machining operations like drilling, boring, thread cutting etc by adding a self-powered unit head and using proper tooling and axes synchronization.Flange Facer consists of a rotary drive unit and clamping arms. Power cables from the rotary table are routed through an imported brushless rotary joint connector with an universal joint which permits the flange facer to do the operation in vertical, horizontal and in any angular position without the danger of cables getting entwined with rotating parts.The rotary drive unit consists of a pair of pre-loaded, extra heavy duty taper roller bearings, located in an accurately dimensioned, forged alloy steel body. The rotary drive is through a gear box and a motor. A vector VFD provides step less rotational speeds. The main body and the cross axis ram are made of high grade CI casting, heavily ribbed and stress-relieved. The box type ram is quite unique in design, perfectly balanced, light in weight, robust in construction to withstand the deflection. The cross feed drive is through a worm reduction gear box & VFD controlled motor. Proper balancing and additional care in design ensure smooth cutting even when the cutting takes place in the extreme end of the ram. The rotational drive and feed axis are synchronized through a PLC. Adjustable feed end limit switches are provided for the ram movement.
