accordance with the information contained within this manual.
Take care of this manual; it is an essential source of information.
1.2 EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION
The FXB630 flange facing machine is designed to machine flange faces from 153mm (6") to
762mm (30") in diameter with bore diameters from 153mm (6") to 711 mm (28") at any
location having a minimum pneumatic air supply of 1.8m3/m,6 bar (64 cfm, 87 psi ).
The machine consist of 5 main assemblies
A. Base assembly

1.2.1 Base assembly
Fig. 3 Base assembly
The base assembly consists of three separate base assemblies which are provided
to enable the machine to be installed in the centre of any bore from 153mm (6") to
711mm (28”") in diameter.
Table 1 gives the range of flange size diameters for each base assembly.

Table 1 The range of flange diameters for each base assembly
Each base assembly consists of a flat three sided plate with a radius machined on
each corner. A hole drilled and tapped in the face of each corner, together with
similar tapped holes in the centre of each straight face, enables the adjustable
centring clamps to position the base in the centre of the flange, refer to Fig 4.

Fig. 5 Drive hub assembly
The Drive Hub Assembly is driven by a 1.7Kw (2.2hp) pneumatic motor unit, which
is mounted directly to the power cap. The Power Cap is assembled onto the Drive
Hub to form the drive hub assembly. The drive hub assembly provides the drive
input to the gearbox assembly and also provides a rigid support for mounting of the
surfacing arm.

1.2.3 Surfacing arm assembly and toolpost
Fig. 6 Surfacing arm and toolpost assembly
The Surfacing arm assembly is mounted on the drive hub assembly and provides a
rigid support to which the toolpost is secured.
Feed in and out is provided by a lead screw which is driven by the gearbox, feed
being selected at the gearbox (Fig. 7) The Surfacing arm assembly can achieve
cuts to a maximum depth of 1mm (0.040”) without flange holes and 0.5mm (0.020”)
with flange holes.
Alternative tools can be fitted to the tool post depending on the finish and cut
required. For further information on cutting tools and surface finish refer to
Appendices A and B.

1.2.4 Gearbox
Fig. 7 Gearbox assembly
The Gearbox assembly is mounted on the drive hub assembly and provides a
variety of cutting feeds for different machine applications.
Drive input to the gearbox is derived from the drive hub take off gear. The Gearbox
provides four different feed rates, selected by a push/pull selector, which selects
traverse IN, traverse OUT, and neutral N positions. The neutral (N) position can be
used for handfeeding the toolpost for tool positioning.
1.2.5 Motor unit
The machine is driven by a 1.7 kW (2.2 hp) pneumatic motor which has a free
running output speed of 936 rpm and incorporates an exhaust manifold and
muffler.
The motor is attached to a motor flange with a worm and wheel shaft secured to
the motor spindle. The motor and flange assembly is attached to the power cap.
1.2.6 Optional accessories
The following optional accessories are available upon request:
'V' groove toolpost and plunge tools
'V' groove measuring kit
Lens polishing kit
Traverse direction selector
Cutting speed selector
Output gear

Cutting feed rate selector
Selects the rate at which the toolpost traverses across the work piece per machine
revolution. The fully pushed in position ‘N’ disengages the traverse feed.
The feed rate depends on which leadscrew is fitted. Standard TEAM® machines
are supplied with a 6 TPI leadscrew unless requested at time of manufacture.
Rotation hand wheel
The rotation hand wheel is used to manually rotate the machine to set the machine
parallel with the flange to be machined. To fit the hand wheel the air motor requires
removing.
Toolpost horizontal movement hand wheel
The removable toolpost horizontal movement hand wheel is used to manually
position the tool. The hand wheel fits onto the hex drive at the end of the surfacing
arm leadscrew.
Toolpost vertical movement feed knob
The toolpost movement feed knob determines the vertical position of the tool and
the corresponding depth of cut. Turn the hand wheel anti-clockwise (when looking
at the end of the handle) to move the tool towards the work piece.
