Introducing Climax LM6200 & LM5200
Linear Milling also available in the gantry mode. This configuration allows the mills to fit many applications and areas. Many different sized rams are available for each machine.
Metrology How it can work for you!
Laser alignment, measuring flatness of surfaces, straightness of journals, bore accuracy, and many more applications.
FARO® Laser Tracker
We employ the latest technology in large volume measurement and alignment by using an accurate coordinate-measuring machine called FARO® Laser Tracker. This shows the ''as found" and "as left" measurements of a flange inside of a titanium plant. When it's critical for exact measurements, you can rely on our work.
FARO® Laser Tracker
Critical measurements for an exact fit. This is a mounting plate inside of a cement plant in Baltimore, MD. Using the FARO Laser Tracker and the Climax LM6200, the mounting plate was measured and machined to tolerance of +.003 to -.003.
FARO® Laser Tracker
Shown here is a pump housing and cam shaft used in the gas well drilling industry. The bores in the housing were suspected of being out of align, however using the laser tracker and probe arm we found that it was the cam shaft the was out of alignment. Modern technology to find the problem, superior machining techniques to fix the problem.
FARO® Laser Tracker
Lake Lynn Hydro Generation Plant. The #3 turbine to generator shaft and bearings were measured to figure out a fix. Here are some pictures and reports showing the problems. The fix is on the way.
FARO® Laser Tracker
Horizonal milling machine at Crile Industrial. Measurement and alignment work. 1st Report, preliminary measurement taking a dynamic XZ plane reading. 2nd Report shows the as-found condition of the bed ways. 3rd Report shows the flatness of the bed ways and the perpendicularity to earth ground level along with the dynamic reading of the X travel in the as-left condition.
FARO® Laser Tracker
Shown here are a few more Faro Laser Tracker reports. These were taken on a pump housing with 6 bores that were out of alignment, which did not allow the crank shaft to slide into the housing.

Introducing the Climax CM6200
This machine is used for machining large flanges 73.5–199 inches (1866.9–5054.6 mm) in diameter. With a center machine clearance designed to fit over 24 inches (609.6 mm) diameter kingpins, this circular mill can be configured for the following operations:
New Equipment for Gantry and Linear Milling
This is the Climax LM6200 that can be used in both the linear and gantry configurations. Modular bed sections allow the length to be expanded from 48 to 192 inches, It has a linear setup for cutting keyways right in the plant.
Also available is the Climax LM5200 for smaller and tighter areas. It can also be set up in linear and gantry configurations. Modular bed sections allow the length to be expanded from 48 to 96 inches.
Both of these machine are available for rent.
