Two engine positioner units
September 1st 2007 The Komatsu Reman organisation
has taken delivery of two Benco
purpose built engine positioner
units from Brixworth Engineering
Company for its European
Remanufacturing facility in County
Durham. Each positioner facilitates
building of remanufactured
engines up to three tonnes in
weight and ranging from 3.2litres
(54hp/40kW)up to units of 23.2
litres (774hp/580kW) in size.
As well as a full 360o full rotation,
the positioners also incorporate
hydraulically operated height
adjustment even when fully loaded.
This ensures that rebuild
technicians can position and
reposition an engine at any stage
of the rebuild process.
Both height and rotational
position adjustments are infinitely
variable, with raise/lower
movements taking place at the rate
of 2m/min and rotation at the
speed of 2 rpm. More articles from The Brixworth Engineering Co Ltd: |
