PSL Portable Lathe Machine for Sealing Surfaces
For machining of sealing surfaces on small and medium bore diesel engines.
PSL portable lathe machine provides excessive savings thanks to in-situ lathing of cylinder heads, liners and engine blocks, and thereby enables efficient prevention of water and gas leakages. Thanks to its high-accuracy machining and ability to service multiple sealing areas, it delivers significant time and cost savings compared to grinding and milling methods. The PSL restores sealing surfaces with a perfectly concentric finish for optimal pressure retention.
PSL – machine features
- Standard operating range diameter 190 – 600 mm
- For workshops on board and ashore
- Electrically driven
- Easily operated by one man
- 5 times faster than grinding
- Optional lathing equipment
Available for several engine makers, such as Wärtsilä, Bergen, Caterpillar/MAK, Everllence, etc.
Compliant with Wärtsilä’s requirement for concentric sealing patterns.
Why Surface machining matters
Machining of sealing surfaces according to engine makers’ specifications is very important as failure to do so means jeopardizing engine performance. Lower engine performance and possible down-time is costly and should be avoided. The good news is that there is a variety of machines available to make maintenance accurate and efficient.
