Portable machine tools for chip removal process

The renown Supercombinata series from Elsa is a portable machine tool for chip removal processes and overlay welding jobs that can be carried out directly on site.

Below you can find a brief guide to the machining operations that are possible with the Supercombinata portable line boring machines:

1 - Line boring

The Supercombinata portable machine tools perform line boring operations in a range from Ø 22 mm to Ø 1200 mm.

Line boring is a mechanical operation carried out by means of machining with a cutting tool that ensures high precision, excellent surface finish and drilling quality, as well as tight dimensional tolerances (in the hundredths of a millimetre range). Compared to boring, the bore diameters are usually limited. The unit is particularly suitable for machining cylindrical bores, bearing seats and machining operations where dimensional accuracy and high surface quality are required. For boring cylindrical bores, the tool is run through with a displacement movement parallel to the axis.
