Valving Rig

Application: Assembly & disassembly of valves

Problem:

• Existing method involving manual tooling and the securing of valves in a vice is inaccurate, labour intensive and potentially unsafe

Solution:  

• Specially designed rig for securing the valves in position in order to assemble and disassemble the valves with pneumatic torque tooling.

Key features include:

• 2 Pneumatic torque tools (C-RAD 10X & C-RAD 34)
• Zero weight balancer
• Universal double reaction
• Valve immobiliser plates (secures valve in position)
• Open hexagon reducers to allow easy valve insertion

Benefits:

• Suitable for a range of valves
• Provides a stable and accurate reaction for torque tightening of the valve assembly
• The rig system carries out the valving process without damaging the valves
• Zero weight spring balancer reduces manual effort and improves safety of the process
• Saves time due to reduced manual effort
• Universal reaction allows use with other applications
