FI80E Flange Facing Machine: Setting a New Standard in On-Site Flange Repair

Since its launch, the FI80E flange facing machine has rapidly become the preferred solution for on-site flange repair. Distinguished by its optimized design and superior performance, the FI80E has set a benchmark in the 2-meter flange facing machine category, particularly for its motor-driven and high-precision capabilities. The key innovation in the FI80E is its electric servo motor drive system, which offers precise spiral cutting fully compliant with ASME B16.5 standards for flange sealing surfaces.

1. Base System

The FI80E features a unique, rugged octagonal steel base equipped with eight uniformly distributed tubular support legs. This design not only ensures equipment stability but also optimizes storage space. All components fit compactly in a single waterproof steel storage container, allowing for streamlined transport. Unlike traditional aluminum multi-base systems, the FI80E’s steel base minimizes both material waste and transportation requirements.

2. Power System

Dedicated to engineering innovation, MT Portable Machine has leveraged its extensive on-site machining experience to refine the power system for larger flanges. Commonly used pneumatic and hydraulic drive systems in European and American models often face limitations on-site due to power demands. By using a Panasonic servo motor, the FI80E offers smooth, variable-speed control in a compact, low-noise package. Its specially designed electric ring unit ensures reliable power delivery for high-precision machining on large flanges.

3. Versatile Expansion Options

With a preloaded cross-roller bearing, the FI80E boasts larger bearings for enhanced rigidity and machining accuracy. Its turntable assembly can detach from the base, allowing use in heat exchanger applications and other specialized tasks. The FI80E flange facer also supports a range of functional attachments, including heat exchanger mounting kits, backplate machining kits, and RTJ machining components, enabling versatile applications across complex on-site conditions.
