FI40 Internal Flange Facer 6-40" In-Situ Bore Mounted Machining Tool
The FI40 is a premier, ID-mounted machining system engineered to deliver workshop-grade flatness and superior surface geometry directly in the field. Built specifically for complex industrial turnaround projects, it features an extensive processing envelope that spans from 6 to 40 inches (153-1000 mm).
This heavy-duty field unit is the frontline defense against pipeline joint degradation, allowing operators to re-machine worn, pitted, or distorted sealing surfaces back to stringent ASME B16.5 engineering specifications. By eliminating the need to torch, cut, and re-weld large-diameter piping, the FI40 significantly slashes plant downtime while ensuring leak-free gasket seating.

PRODUCT ADVANTAGES
Why Choose the FI40 Flange Facer?
- Broad Processing Versatility: A highly adaptable single-tool platform that services everything from mid-sized 6" process piping up to massive 40" asset nozzles.
- Comprehensive Face Profiling: Effortlessly cuts Raised Face (RF), Flat Face (FF), Ring Type Joint (RTJ) sealing grooves, compound chamfers, and specialized weld preps.
- Vibration-Free Mechanical Structure: Built with industrial-grade NSK precision bearings paired with induction-hardened, ground V-shaped linear guideways to resist structural deflection and tool chatter during deep cutting passes.
- Flexible Drive Configurations:
- Pneumatic Option: Driven by a high-torque Modec air motor, engineered for spark-free, safe operation in ATEX-regulated or volatile petrochemical environments.
- Electric Servo Option: Powered by a digital servo system, providing constant torque, stable RPM control, and micro-precision feeding.
- 360° Rotational Tool Head: The tool post features full panoramic swiveling, enabling operators to execute complex internal counterboring, angled bevels, and micro-groove cutting.
