Onsite machining has been proven to be a boon to various industries, be it in case of maintenance of running plant machinery or in case of new equipment manufacturing. Below are a few reasons for the popularity & use of Portable machining:-
- Machining can be done on any location.
- Requires none or minimal dismantling of large equipment’s.
- Eliminates the need for transport, hence saves on time and costs.
- Overall time and cost reduced, without compromising on quality.
- Better geometrical accuracy than conventional machining in certain cases, as the machining is done in a single setting and assembled condition of the component.
- Dimensional accuracies achievable are as good as conventional machines.
- Inaccuracies and variations developed during fabrication, transportation and erection can be compensated for, by undertaking machining in final assembled condition.
- Latest Laser technology can be used to set up portable machines very accurately.
- Lesser initial investment in capital equipment and floor space.
- Lesser running costs compared to conventional machines.
- Multiple machines can be setup with respect to each other in a single structure, ensuring better geometrical accuracy and saving on overall machining time.
