Large engine blocks and castings require many different repair and machining processes. The full 3-axis CNC control of the F90Y series allows custom programs to be written on the touch screen and saved in the memory for future use.
For example, CAT 3500 blocks have water holes in the head gasket face and often rust/corrode as a result of acidic water and require to be milled out, plugs fitted and the head gasket face to be surfaced. The F90Y allows a simple CNC program to be written and these holes to be machined out in one automatic cycle. Plugs can then be fitted and the block surfaced – all this can be done while the block is set up for boring and surfacing work - saving hours of time and improving accuracy. Jobs can be completed in one-third the time of conventional machines while operators can also do other work as the F90Y completes automatic cycles unattended.
Many unique jobs such as large connecting rods, gear housings and other often overlooked jobs can be performed with this versatile equipment. The F90 Series machines are available in 3 sizes and 2 control systems - CNC or Manual.
- F97 – Horizontal column travel up to 80 inches (2000mm)
- F98 - Horizontal column travel up to 108 inches (2750mm)
- F99 – Horizontal column travel up to 132 inches (3350mm)
The F97 is designed for smaller V8 and V12 blocks such as CAT 3412 & 3508, Komatsu 170 V12, MTU 2000 V16, Cummins K38, Detroit 60, Mercedes 400 V12, and more.
The F98 is designed for the more common V16 engines including CAT 3516, MTU 4000 – V16, Cummins QSK60, Waukesha 7042 and others.
The F99 is the largest machine in this series and is designed to machine up to V20 blocks such as CAT 3520 – C175, MTU 4000 – V20, Cummins QSK78, Waukesha 9390, and others.
