Mobile Portable Lathes for Flanges and Valves-1

THE FUTURE OF ON SITE MACHINING TU Series Portable Lathe and Boring Machines The SERCO TU machines all work on the same principle. They are set up and clamped by a column/arm system, which is connected to the machining area. The optional chain clamping system FC, secures the TU machine to allow complete machining of sealing faces and studs. Rugged design and easy transport of the machine for integration of the machine into a production line SERCO machines have been designed for use under extremely difficult and restrictive conditions. SERCO TU machines can be set up easily in extremely confined spaces and in all positions. Their light weight also means that they can be installed and used by a single operator. The TU machine set-up is fast and easy. A parallel orientation toward the machining surface is aligned by adjusting the height of the columns. A second step, completely independent of the first, adjusts the concentricity with positioning screws. A dial gauge controls both adjustments to an accuracy of 1/100 mm. The surface finish reaches up to Ra 1.6 (depending on the material to be machined). Conical machining operations can be performed with the optional AC38 or the RTJ device where the radial and axial velocities are interconnected.

ERGOTU 400 Portable Lathe and Boring Machine The SERCO TU 400 is perfectly suitable for machining operations that need to be done by a single operator in a confined space. While maintaining its precision of 0.01 mm, the TU 400 is fitted with automatic or manual axial and radial feed movements. This feature, compared with the TU 200, enables it to work with a regular autonomous movement. The TU 400 can also be used with the RTJ system to perform conical machining functions. In order to machine a maximum surface, the TU 400 can be held on an outside surface using the FC745 chain clamp. • Weight:...

ERGOTU 600 Portable Lathe and Boring Machine Standard Capacity: 0 - 600 mm (0” - 23.62”) The TU 600 is undoubtedly the most versatile machine in the SERCO range. Its reduced weight 65 kg (143 LB), large capacity 0 0 - 600 mm (23.62”) and high-precision machining (0.01 mm) mean that the machine is an uncontested leader in the world of onsite machining. Moreover it provides the same advantages as the TU 400, i.e. automatic or manual axial and radial feed movements and, therefore, it can be used with the “RTJ” system. The TU 600 can also be used with the FC 745 and does not require a special hoisting...
