A discarded paner in dismantled condition with many parts missing is converted into in to a Plano milling SPM for machining the inner walls of the traction motor housing. A specially designed milling head reaches inner walls of the motor housing through an extended reach & a right angle attachment. An in-built 3 axes feed mechanism facilitates positioning as well and feed & depth of cut. The job clamping fixture is mounted on a rotary table for facilitating all the inner surfaces of the motor body. This converted Plano miller has saved our customer an expensive floor boring machine. Whenever required, this Plano miller can be used for all general purpose Plano miller application.

 

A virtual wreckage of a planing machine is converted as a 4 axes, special purpose planing machine against an export order. All sliding surfaces are hand-scraped for a very high level of blue-matching and all rotating parts, drive system are re-engineered.  The ram type milling head facilitates very high level of accuracy in 800 mm bore. No need to say that the customer saved a fortune which he otherwise should have spent on an expensive and sophisticated machine. Whenever need arises, the customer still has the option of using this machine as a general purpose Plano miller.
