Climax Portable Machining & Welding Systems Showcases Precision Machines for Repairing Mining Equipment On Site

NEWBERG, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Climax Portable Machining & Welding Systems (www.climaxportable.com) will be demonstrating precision, heavy-duty portable machining and automated welding systems at MINExpo 2012 in Las Vegas on September 24-26 at booth 6937. Climax systems are used extensively by machinists and welders worldwide for in-situ machining and welding of mining equipment such as shovel attachment bores, draglines, truck car bodies and strut mounts and other components at the mine site. They are also being used in manufacturing plants for in-place machining of very large parts right on the assembly line. The machines are easy to set up and operate, and provide the precision and power needed to minimize mining equipment repair downtime and to increase productivity.

At MINExpo, the company will exhibit its BW3000 and BW1000 Automated Welding Systems that produce precise, uniform, high-quality welds as compared to hand welding techniques; a BB5000 portable boring machine with the precision and speed often found only in stationary machines; and an industry first – the LM5200 portable milling machine that is capable of both linear milling and gantry milling. The Climax team also will be available to discuss any equipment repair or manufacturing challenges existing and new customers may have, and to recommend a machining or automated welding solution that will meet their exact needs. They will also provide information about rentals programs and training courses available to keep repair crews current with the machining and welding skills they need to know to operate their equipment in the safest, most productive manner.

For more than 45 years, Climax has been a trusted supplier and partner to leading organizations within the mining industry worldwide, providing them with the precision tools, training and engineering expertise they need to solve challenging repair and manufacturing projects, increase worker productivity and successfully compete in global markets.
