The metal industry depends on heavy-duty machinery such as stamping presses, rolling mills, and conveyor systems. Over time, bores in these machines wear out, leading to misalignment, vibration, and costly downtime. At Portable Line Boring Machines, we design and manufacture portable line boring machines and custom fixtures to restore precision in critical equipment. Here are real-world style case examples from the metal sector.
Case 1 — Stamping Press Ram Guides
Problem: A stamping press developed oval bores in its ram guides, causing misalignment and reduced product accuracy.
Solution: Our portable line boring machine restored the bores on-site to factory tolerances, avoiding full dismantling.
Result: Production resumed in less than 48 hours with improved output quality.
Case 2 — Rolling Mill Drive Supports
Problem: Drive housings in a rolling mill showed wear, threatening to halt production.
Solution: We manufactured a custom boring bar with added length to handle oversized housings and performed precision machining on-site.
Result: Downtime reduced by 60% compared to replacing the unit.
Case 3 — Conveyor Roller Systems
Problem: Conveyor rollers used in continuous casting developed excessive play due to worn bores.
Solution: Using a hydraulic drive unit, our team performed line boring to restore roller alignment.
Result: Conveyor uptime improved, reducing scrap and energy consumption.
