SECTION 1 TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
1.1 INTRODUCTION
The TEAM® SX012/AXL012 Flange Facing and Grooving Machine is constructed from the
highest quality materials and great care has been taken in its design and manufacture. Its
design will give every satisfaction provided that it is properly installed, operated and
maintained in 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 purpose of the TEAM® SX012/AXL012 flange facing and grooving machine is designed
to machine full faced, raised face and grooved flanges up to 300 mm (11.750") in diameter,
at any location having a minimum pneumatic air supply 1.6 m3/m, 6 bar (60 cfm,87 psi).
The machine can achieve a variety of surface finishes from 6.3 µm Ra to 1.6 µm Ra when
turning and 1.6 µm Ra to 0.8 µm Ra when polishing. The machine can also produce a
'gramophone' finish, 'O' ring grooves and 'V' grooves, and alternatively lens ring facings.
The machine consists of four main assemblies (see Fig.1):
a. Drive ring and bearing assembly
b. Saddle
c. Gearbox
d. Motor unit
The machine is available as either a single motor AXL012 or a twin motor SX012 version.
The function and operation of these variants are identical.
1.2.1 Drive ring and bearing assembly
The drive and bearing assembly forms the main body of the machine which
comprises two main sub-assemblies: the drive assembly and the spur ring gear.
The drive assembly
The drive assembly, which is the fixed part of the machine, has four base clamp
blocks bolted to the base plate on the underside, and two flanges for mounting the
drive gearboxes.
The drive assembly houses an idler gear, which transfers the drive from the
gearbox to the spur ring gear. A cross-roller bearing assembly is clamped between
the drive assembly and the base plate, and the inner (rotating) race is clamped to
the spur ring.

SX012/AXL012 Flange Facing and Grooving Machine
8
A fixed gear ring is attached to the drive cover and is used in conjunction with the
saddle pick-up gear, which revolves as the saddle rotates, to give the saddle its
feed source.
Spur ring gear
The spur ring gear assembly, which is the rotating part of the machine, is clamped
to the cross-roller bearing assembly by a clamp plate and the ring gear provides
the clamping location for the saddle assembly. An idler gear in the drive assembly
drives the spur ring gear.
1.2.2 Saddle
The saddle is mounted on the drive ring located within the drive ring assembly and
provides a rigid structure to which the toolpost is fixed.
Drive input to the toolpost feed gearbox is derived from the drive ring pick-up gear
that rotates around the fixed internal gear located in the drive ring assembly in a
planetary motion.
Toolpost traverse in and out is provided by a leadscrew which is driven by the
saddle gear train. Traverse is selected by the traverse selector.
The saddle can achieve cuts to a maximum depth of 1 mm (0.040 in) without
flanged holes and 0.5 mm (0.020 in) with flanged holes.
Alternative toolposts can be fitted to the saddle depending on the machine
application. For cutting tools and surface finish refer to Appendices A and B at the
end of this manual.

1.2.3 Gearbox
The gearbox is mounted on the drive assembly cover and transmits the drive from
the air motor through two bevel gears and an intermediate idler gear to the bearing
drive gear (spur ring gear).
1.2.4 Motor unit
The machine is driven by a 0.8 kW (1.07 hp) pneumatic motor with a free running
output speed of 382 rpm and incorporating an exhaust manifold and muffler.
The motor is attached to a motor flange with a bevel gear and bearing keyed and
secured to the motor spindle. The motor and flange assembly is attached to the
gearbox.
The AXL012 machine version is fitted with one motor and the SX012 version is
fitted with two motors.
1.2.5 Optional accessories
The following optional accessories are available upon request:
'V' groove machining kit
'V' groove measuring kit
Lens ring machining and polishing kit
