On-Site Flange Machining Services

# On-Site Flange Machining Services

## What is On-Site Flange Machining?

On-site flange machining refers to the process of repairing, resurfacing, or modifying flanges at their installed location rather than removing them and sending them to a machine shop. This specialized service is particularly valuable in industries where downtime is costly or flange removal is impractical.

## Benefits of On-Site Flange Machining

### 1. Minimized Downtime

By performing machining operations directly at your facility, we eliminate the need for equipment disassembly and transportation. This can reduce downtime by up to 80% compared to traditional methods.

### 2. Cost Savings

On-site services significantly reduce:
– Transportation costs
– Crane and rigging expenses
– Lost production time
– Scaffolding requirements

### 3. Precision Results

Our portable machining equipment delivers the same precision as stationary machines, with tolerances as tight as ±0.001 inches (±0.025 mm).
