01 May CIRCULAR MILLING MACHINE: COST-EFFECTIVE SOLUTIONS
| “It has been over 30 years since CLIMAX produced its first circular mill. “Over those years, we’ve continued to refine our milling technology, making these tools known for their precision and accuracy,” said CLIMAX Corporate Vice President of Sales and Marketing – Americas, Dave Baker. “CLIMAX circular mills are second to none and designed to minimize setup time, allowing for quick transitions between setups. This means less time spent on changeovers and more time focused on getting the work done.” |
To prevent wind turbine costs from spinning out of control, CLIMAX circular milling machines can be configured for powerful milling, single-point machining, and grinding operations. They are equally useful for crane pedestals in shipyards and heavy construction settings, as well as slew ring bearings for draglines and shovels in mining operations. In these applications, downtime can lead to significant financial losses, and the investment in a circular mill can yield a substantial financial return after only one or two uses.
Once the machine is set up, customers have access to the industry’s most powerful machine. With its high-horsepower spindle supporting a large face mill, cutting time is reduced, and cuts that remove more material ensure the desired surface finish.
The CLIMAX CM6200 circular mill is also rugged and designed to withstand the rigors of typical mining operations while maintaining accuracy and power. As one of our wind power customers noted, “If there’s a welding error or some sort of damage to the flange, you can repair that flange instead of scrapping it and cutting off the whole flange. We can machine the flange back to within tolerance, saving the whole tower.”
When it comes to transporting a CLIMAX circular mill to a job site, renting can be a great option. “Our rental facilities provide customers with more variety, availability, and quicker access to high-performance tools, ultimately leading to lower costs and less downtime,” said Jeff Nemish, Manager of Rental Operations.
Renting machines makes particularly good sense when you only need a machine once or want to boost productivity during peak usage seasons. With rental, you get exactly what you need, exactly when you need it. Additionally, when dealing with equipment the size of the CLIMAX CM6200 circular mill, renting allows companies to bid on last-minute jobs without making a hasty ownership decision or needing to store such a large piece of equipment. By renting, they can leave the storage and ownership of the machine to CLIMAX.
