A line boring machine, also known as a mobile linear boring machine, is an indispensable device for reconditioning worn holes in construction, agricultural and industrial machinery. Used by service companies, the hole reconditioning machine avoids costly disassembly of large components.
What is a line boring machine?
A line boring machine (sometimes also called an in line boring machine) is equipment designed to work directly on a machine – such as an excavator, loader, tractor or harvester. Its main function is precision machining of holes, restoring their original dimensions.
Typical applications:
- Repair of arms and joints
- Regeneration of pin holes in axles
- Repair of bearing holes
- Reproduction of alignment and concentricity
- Repairs in agricultural and construction machinery
Resurfacing – rebuilding worn out holes
Modern portable bore boring machines are increasingly equipped with a surfacing function, which makes it possible to rebuild the worn surface of the bore by welding. Such a solution is used where the hole is too worn for boring alone.
Benefits of surfacing:
- Increased durability of the repaired hole
- Ability to work in the field
- Recovery of original dimensions without replacement of parts
- Less costly than replacing a component
Advantages of using a mobile boring machine
Compared to the classic workshop boring machine, the mobile bore machine:
- Works in the field
- Saves time and transportation costs
- Allows precision bushing without disassembly
- Can also be used as a surfacing and boring machine
