Basic working principle of Portable Flange Facer


The basic principle of Portable Flange Facer is to remove unevenness, grooves or worn parts on the flange surface by rotating the cutting tool, so that the flange connection surface can fit better, so as to achieve the sealing effect. During the processing, Portable Flange Facer mainly focuses on two aspects:

The flatness of the processed surface: the flange connection surface is processed by Portable Flange Facer, which can make the flange surface smoother, remove irregular shapes and protrusions, ensure tight contact between the flange connection surface and the connection surface, and improve its tightness and durability.


Roughness of the machined surface: Portable Flange Facer can control the roughness of the machined surface by adjusting the depth and feed rate of the cutting tool. The processed surface generally needs to reach a certain roughness, so as to facilitate the close fit of the flange gasket, and at the same time, it can also reduce the friction coefficient of the surface, reduce leakage and loss.



Components of Portable Flange Facer


Portable Flange Facer usually consists of the following three main components:


Spindle System: The Portable Flange Facer's spindle system consists of a spindle and drive that support the cutting tool. Spindle is usually made of high-strength alloy material to ensure its stability and durability. The driving device can complete the rotary motion of the main shaft by means of electric motor, pneumatic or hydraulic.


Cutting tool system: The cutting tool is one of the most critical parts of Portable Flange Facer. Different types and specifications of flange connection surfaces require different shapes and sizes of cutting tools for processing. Cutting tools are usually made of carbide materials to ensure their cutting efficiency and life.


Motion control system: Portable Flange Facer's motion control system realizes precise control of the machining process by controlling the motion state of the spindle and cutting tools. The motion control system is usually composed of electronic controllers and sensors, etc., which can be adjusted and optimized according to processing requirements to improve processing efficiency and precision.

Operation process of Portable Flange Facer


The operation process of Portable Flange Facer usually includes the following steps:


  1. Select suitable cutting tools and fixtures: Select suitable cutting tools and fixtures according to processing requirements, and ensure that their specifications, shapes and materials match the flange connection surfaces.

  2. Install and adjust cutting tools and fixtures: install the cutting tools on the spindle, and fix the flange connection surface through the fixtures, adjust the depth and feed speed of the cutting tools according to the processing requirements to control the flatness and roughness of the processed surface.

  3. Start the equipment and process: start the Portable Flange Facer equipment, control the rotation and feed movement of the cutting tool through the controller, and start processing the flange connection surface.

  4. Stop the machine after machining: When machining is complete, stop the rotational movement of the machine and remove the cutting tool from the spindle. It should be noted that when disassembling the cutting tool, the hand should avoid direct contact with the cutting tool to avoid accidental injury.


During the entire operation process, it is necessary to operate in accordance with the instruction manual and strictly follow the safety regulations to ensure the safety of the operator and the normal operation of the equipment.



Application Scenarios of Portable Flange Facer


Portable Flange Facer is mainly used in the field of flange processing, which can help process and repair flange connection surfaces, and improve flange sealing and durability. In addition, Portable Flange Facer is also suitable for the following scenarios:


Flange processing: Portable Flange Facer can process and repair flange connection surfaces of different specifications, shapes and materials to ensure that their flatness and roughness meet the requirements, and improve the sealing and durability of flange connection surfaces.


Valve processing: The valve connection surface is also a key sealing part. Portable Flange Facer can adapt to different types and specifications of the valve connection surface by adjusting the shape and size of the cutting tool, so that the valve connection surface is more flat and roughness meets the requirements.


Pipe processing: At the pipe connection, it is necessary to ensure that the flatness and roughness of the pipe connection surface meet the requirements. Portable Flange Facer can help process and repair these pipe connection surfaces, and improve the sealing and reliability of the pipe connection.


In conclusion, Portable Flange Facer is widely used in various fields that need to process and repair joint surfaces, such as oil and gas industry, energy industry, manufacturing industry, ship and shipbuilding industry, wind power industry, etc.
