Repair of cracked and damaged MAN 8L21/31H engine frame using the Metalock process and main bearing bore centerline check

Fixed and Moving Vertical Platen Machining. Due to surface wear and operational degradation, Metalock is preparing to carry out precision re-machining of the vertical fixed and moving platen surfaces on a die casting machine.

The work will involve on-site machining to restore flatness, alignment, and surface integrity of the platen faces, ensuring proper machine performance and maintaining accurate clamping conditions during production.

By re-establishing the correct tolerances and surface finish, the machining process will help extend the service life of the machine, reduce operational issues, and improve overall production reliability.

Pipelaying vessel - 5600 Main Reel Shaft bearing journal machining

The overall length of the shaft is 14500mm long. FREE END 1180mm diameter x 1000 long and FIXED END 1800 diameter x 2700mm long.

Both ends were round and parallel and in alignment within 0.10 mm

This accuracy ensures smooth operation and minimum stress on the bearings.
