There are numerous reasons why our customers from offshore industry, shipbuilding, power plants, pressure vessels, etc might require large flange facing machines.Large flanges are difficult to move to the machine tool in the workshop for machining,so a special and more convenient flange facing machine is necessary.Precise work requires precise tools, and often, the flatness of the flange is the most critical.This article defines and explains the main functions of a circular falnge milling machine and its principle applications.

What is a circular milling machine? 

A circular milling machine is an on-site tool that creates clean and accurate flange faces and grooves. The machine itself will consist of a main ring bearing,turning arms and a milling head.Equally,the machine can be designed and manufactured to have a grinding wheel, dependant upon application. However, our circular milling machines don’t only machining flange faces; they can machining holes or grooves on the surface of flanges using a form milling cutter .

Applications of circular milling macine

As introduced, there are various reasons why a lager project may require circular milling machine. From vessel manufacturing to shipbuilding, to the power industry and other sectors with complex mechanical needs, there are many flange surface of workpieces that need to be reworked. Common applications include:

– Vessel flanges
– Various applications in shipbuilding, including marine crane

– Single Point Mooring System
– Supporting flanges at nuclear power plant

Our engineer will give you a reasonable design according to your cost and  accurate of the workpieces.We can offer a 100% mechanical equipment or CNC equipment,so we often give customers a variety of choices.
