FAST has developed innovative techniques for machining large bed ways in-place. These techniques drastically reduce the time and expense of re-qualifying large machine tools.

On site machining of large surface grinder bed ways and cross slides, fitting of tables and wheel heads with Moglice slide way material. Mattison uses Moglice on new machines.

GRINDING MACHINES

Large roll and OD grinder bed ways can be milled and/or scraped in-place with wheel head or tables fit to center line in 5-7 days total.

Large hydrostatic bearings can be rebuilt in the field. Hydrostatic pockets and lands are molded in with Moglice low-friction slide way material.

Ingersoll heads can be refit in 3 days without purchasing new gibs. 100' bed ways can be machined in-place and tables fit to fresh bed ways in less than 2 weeks.

LARGE MACHINERY

Floor-type HBM's can have their beds and saddles requalified and columns squared. Table-type G+L's can have their table and saddle rebuilt in 5 days right on your factory floor.

VBM tables can also be rebuilt quickly in the field. Worn rails can be machined while still on the columns. Saddles are fit to the fresh rail and rams can be refit in the saddle housings.

Worn or loose sheet-type low-friction material can be replaced with Moglice in 2 days per axis or less. Flame hardened integral cast iron ways can be reground on your factory floor eliminating problems with wear and corrosion on hardened ways.

MACHINING CENTERS

Precision machines can be re-scraped and returned to exacting new machine tolerances quickly and economically right on your factory floor.
