PPB

PORTABLE PRECISE LATHE

PPB machine has the option of axial and radial turning. It is a portable machine tool with a wide range of job applications:

• turning holes (bores) on the couplings of steam turbines, gear boxes, generators etc.
• turning holes (bores) on the couplings of water turbines, gear boxes, generators, etc.
• turning holes (bores) at connections of the motor to the drive shaft and turning couplings of drive shafts to propeller on ships
• turning valve seats on the sealing surfaces (additional device is necessary)

After turning we recommend honing of holes (bores) to achieve exceptional precision of surface (additional device is necessary, also the product APS department)

The great advantage of PPB-B portable machine tool is having bearings on only one side of the coupling (flange), which is often necessary because of the lack of available space on the other side of the coupling.

Subsequently, with the honing treatment a surface accuracy 0,002 can be achieved.
