A double-sided boring machine is a specialized CNC or hydraulic machining tool designed for high-precision gate valve seat boring, ensuring perfect alignment, sealing surfaces, and dimensional accuracy in industrial valve manufacturing.
Key Features & Benefits: Dual-Spindle Boring – Simultaneously machines both sides of a gate valve seat for perfect concentricity and reduced cycle time. High Accuracy – Achieves tight tolerances for critical sealing surfaces in API, ASME, or DIN-standard valves. Automated Operation – CNC-controlled for repeatability; reduces manual errors in globe valves, wedge gates, and parallel slide valves. Material Compatibility – Works on carbon steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and superalloys (Inconel, Duplex). Tooling Flexibility – Adjustable boring bars, CBN inserts, and live tooling for face grooving, taper boring, and ID finishing.
Applications: Oil & Gas – API 6D/6A valve seat machining. Power Plants – High-pressure turbine valves. Water Treatment – Large-diameter sluice gates. Marine & Petrochemical – Corrosion-resistant alloy valves.
