IN SITU, ON SITE JOURNAL MACHINING

Onsite journal machining, repairs and grinding

 

Shafting journal repair forms a large part of In-Situ Machining Solutions (UK) Ltds on site machining portfolio. Rotating equipment often wears due to oil starvation and major seizure. Our orbital and fixed machining techniques provide a second to non worldwide service in this field. Our journal engineers are highly trained and experienced in journal grinding, polishing and machining on-site.

JOURNAL REPAIRS

 

  • Full range of equipment for Orbital machining, superfinishing and polishing in the range 100mm to 1075mm in diameter. For shafts it is not feasible to rotate.

  • No limit for shafts that can be rotated using integral barring equipment or In-Situ Machining Solutions designed and supplied barring equipment.

  • Quality in accordance with OEM tolerances.

  • Shaft machining, journal grinding and taper machining also catered for.

 

 

JOURNAL CONTROL METHODS

 

  • Axis tolerances achieved by electronically controlled level system.

  • Diameter controlled by calibrated micrometer.

  • Flatness controlled by engineers? blue and straight edges.

  • Crack detection via Magnetic Particle Inspection system.

  • Hardness checked using portable electronic device.

  • All data recorded.

 

 

In Situ are professional Journal Engineers who work on main journals and offer journal repair to the highest standard.
