Climax FF6200 User Manual

FF6200 FLANGE FACER

Rugged, Heavy-Duty Flange Facers

Rugged Machine Design

• Large, heavy-duty construction-grade
bearings provide powerful, rigid
performance throughout the entire
machine facing range, even machining
over bolt hole patterns.

• Oversized ring gear accommodates
extremely high torque levels for
challenging flange repair applications,
and these machines are able to generate
a phonographic finish.

Flexible and Versatile

• Both radial and axial feed is achieved
with a pneumatic feedbox. Manual
feeding for rapid positioning is also
possible.

• Feed rate is adjusted remotely at the
pneumatic conditioning unit, providing the
ultimate in operator safety and the flexibility
for feed rate adjustments even during
machining operations.

• Infinitely variable feed rates from

0.002-0.035 in. (0.05 - 0.89 mm)/rev
provides operational flexibility.

• Reversible feed box can be mounted to
provide either radial or axial feed.

• Turning and counterweight arms can both
be adjusted for the desired swing
clearance and machining range.

• Can be mounted both OD and ID

• Tool head can be rotated a full 360˚
(with ID chuck only) providing the ability
to create a variety of chamfers, O-Ring
grooves, lens rings and other angular
surfaces as needed.

• Pneumatic and hydraulic drive option
available.

• Chucking system can be removed to
allow the flange facer to be face­mounted.

• Grinding option available for fine finish
work.

03

Quick and Easy Setup

• Modular design allows many of the
machine components to be removed to
facilitate easier setup and storage.

• Unique chucking system minimizes parts
to greatly simplify machine setup and tear
down.

• Quick-adjust leveling feet make setup
quick and easy.

Training at the Global Learning Center

Climax has been teaching the fundamentals and fine
points of portable machine tool operation for practically as
long as we’ve been inventing and building the tools.

At the Climax Global Learning Center situated in our
corporate headquarters near Portland, Oregon, we
provide training for machine tool operators on portable
machine tool safety, and machine setup and operation.
Trainees also receive technical tips and tools to improve
operational efficiencies, with the vast majority of every
program devoted to hands-on activities and skill
development.

The Climax instructional team includes specialists in shipbuilding, power generation, civil engineering, bridge re-building,
petrochemical and other industries.

Whether it’s a regularly scheduled course at the Global Learning Center, or custom curriculum conducted at your facility,
your machinists will benefit from courses developed by some of the most respected authorities in the business.

Call us today to register for a regularly scheduled class, or talk to us about how we can customize a training program for
your specialized application.
