Facing Machines: the complete mechanical info

With statistics like Machine Weight of 1250 Kgs, coolant motor of 0.15 H.P/40 lpm, with hydraulic motor power of 3 H.P, overall size L x W x H of 2000/1300/1600, and spindle power of 3 H.P/each, Facing Machines are well known to the world of mechanics as one of the best and most popular machines that serve their purposes well. This machine is comprised of two spindles that are supported by two taper roller bearings on two sides. Head stocks which are two in number are slide fed through hydraulic channel. While one head stock is fixed in a permanent manner, the other one is found to be adjustable allowing the machine to accommodate varying job lengths. Timing belts are used for the drive. Variation in the speed levels is maintained to change timing pulleys.   

The tools of the Facing Machines have an indexable insertion as their trait. Drill holders are located in the central portion so that it can hold and adjust the centre drill. A variety of applications can be performed through the machine like chamfering, O.D. Turning, and accordingly tools are supplied.

Vice assy is self-centering making the job get clamped to itself; it has left hand/right hand screws with GMT nuts or V-flat jaws. A hydraulic motor is used for the rotation of the vice screws. The machine bed is tough, rigid as the box and the cross ribbed bed support it perfectly well. There are rack and pinion systems that are used to adjust the vice assy, along with adjustable headstock that can be extended to whichever length required. Facing Machines find a variety of other uses also.
