Key Features:

• Enhanced Functionality: Transforms the SX2872 flange facing machine to handle tube sheet machining tasks with precision.
• Durable Construction: Made from high-quality materials to ensure durability and long-term use.
• Ease of Use: Designed for quick setup and operation, improving productivity on site.

Components and Setup:

1. Carriage Mounting Plate and Linear Bearing:
   • Secure the carriage mounting plate onto the surfacing arm carriage using the M12 hexagon headed bolt.
   • Align the linear support bearing so it protrudes one screw hole past the end of the surfacing arm.
   • Secure with three M10 screws and tighten the bolts to ensure stability.
2. Toolpost Installation:
   • Remove the center caphead screw and lift off the tool post.
   • Remove the aluminum spacer block, using a soft drift if necessary to free the locating dowels.
   • Position the toolpost on the raised boss of the carriage mounting plate and secure it with the center caphead screw.
3. Balance Weight:
   • Attach the balance weight as specified to ensure proper balance during operation.

Instructions for Machining the Flange Rear Face:

1. Preparation:
   • Ensure all mountings are tight and the machine is secure on the tube sheet face.
   • Remove the toolpost and replace the top plate and extended knob assembly with the standard knob assembly.
   • Attach the rear face toolpost arm and secure with six M12 screws.
2. Assembly:
   • Attach the rear face toolpost plate at 90° to the rear face arm and secure with four M12 screws.
   • Insert a turning tool into the toolpost, check the tool traverse, and adjust the counterbalance weights as necessary.

Instructions for Machining the Flange Front Face:

1. Initial Setup:
   • Measure and note the outside diameter of the tube sheet flange.
   • Adjust the surfacing arm clamping screws to position the arm correctly.
2. Vertical Positioning:
   • Use a mechanical lifting device to carefully lift the machine into the vertical position.
   • Ensure the location spigot is seated correctly and secure with four M12 bolts.
   • Fit the counterbalance bracket and adjust weights as necessary.
3. Toolpost Adjustment:
   • Remove the toolpost and attach the carriage mounting plate.
   • Secure the linear support bearing and support spacer.
   • Fit the extended knob assembly and refit the toolpost.
4. Final Adjustments:
   • Insert a turning tool, check the tool traverse, and adjust the machine balance.
