Guideway repair - here the worn guideways of a milling machine during the preparatory repair work. Nothing that can be done in passing without preparation. The next pictures show which . . .
Slideway repair - the technically correct principle of slideway recontouring with the pasty MetaLine repair ceramic SXL. Existing damages have to be prepared - a durable repair is more than simply "cementing" finest irregularities . . .
Machine bed repair - guideway reconditioned with MetaLine repair ceramic SXL before final scraping. Does it work? Yes, because more and more guideways are already made of mineral casting and no longer of steel. Our MetaLine ceramic resembles mineral casting and is therefore also suitable for repairing mineral casting!
Guideway lining – undersize on a round guide that is cold, synthetically reconditioned with MetaLine ceramic technology. The professional substrate preparation for adhesion is mandatory
Guide surface repairs - during ceramic reconditioning with Repair Ceramic SXL (here on a round guide). The minimum layer thickness should be 1 mm (40 mils). Thinner layers tend to flake off
Repaired guide before final machining - the process is particularly interesting for piston rod repairs. Either oxide ceramics or grinding tools are required for machining
Hydraulic piston repair - wear on the piston and the guide due to foreign boday entrainment. Can such a repair succeed with a synthetic ceramic? Yes, if the operating parameters have been checked. No, if you just hope for a miracle and neglect the physics!
Wear damage to a guide - a typical case for drilling column repairs. Do you have any questions about this picture? Contact our Mr. Peter Schramm and he will give you first-hand answers about this application. Keyword “Gardena”!
Piston bush relining – repair without mechanical reworking using molding technology and a rigid PVC matrix. Not easy but feasible in certain cases. However, more than 0.05 mm (0.4 mil) accuracy can hardly be achieved
Guideway repair - can it still be repaired with a repair compund? The answer depends on many factors: Age of the machine, required accuracy, etc.! We would have milled out and permanently bonded a metal rail with the MetaLine SXL. Then machined to precision . . .
