Discover the ACF200 for precise automotive cylinder resurfacing and boring. Jenkins Equipment offers this versatile machine to boost efficiency and profitability.
Top Cylinder Boring and Resurfacing Equipment
In the specialized field of engine remanufacturing, precision is not just a goal; it is a necessity. The restoration of an engine block to its original specifications—or better—requires equipment that can handle complex geometries with unwavering accuracy. For machine shops servicing everything from compact automotive engines to heavy-duty industrial blocks, the ability to perform automotive cylinder resurfacing and boring in a single setup is invaluable. Jenkins Equipment is proud to offer the ACF200, a compact yet powerful machine that combines these two critical operations into one efficient unit.
The ACF200 represents the intersection of robust mechanical engineering and modern technical innovation. It allows shop owners to maximize their floor space without sacrificing capacity or quality. At Jenkins Equipment, we provide the tools that enable shops to deliver superior results, reduce turnaround times, and maintain a competitive edge in a demanding market.
The Critical Nature of Cylinder Resurfacing
An engine’s performance hinges on the condition of its cylinders and deck surface. Over time, heat and friction cause wear, leading to cylinders that are out-of-round or tapered, and deck surfaces that are warped. Simply honing a cylinder or manually sanding a deck is often insufficient for a quality rebuild.
Professional automotive cylinder resurfacing restores the deck of the engine block to a perfectly flat plane, ensuring a proper seal with the cylinder head gasket. Simultaneously, boring the cylinders corrects geometric imperfections and prepares the block for oversized pistons. Doing this correctly is essential for optimal compression, efficient heat transfer, and long-term engine reliability. The ACF200 allows technicians to perform both tasks with a level of precision that meets the strict tolerances of modern engine manufacturers.
Introducing the ACF200 Cylinder Boring-Resurfacing Machine
The ACF200 is designed to be the versatile heart of your engine machining department. Despite its compact footprint, it boasts considerable work capacities, making it suitable for light and heavy vehicles alike. It effectively bridges the gap between smaller automotive machines and large industrial equipment.
Compact Design, Industrial Capacity
One of the standout features of the ACF200 is its efficient use of space. Measuring 1860x1150x2170 mm, it fits easily into shops where floor space is at a premium. However, do not let its size fool you. It offers a boring range of 35mm to 170mm and a maximum head vertical travel of 680mm. This capacity allows it to handle a vast array of engine blocks, from motorcycle and passenger car engines to trucks and marine applications.
Advanced Features for Precision Control
The ACF200 is engineered to give operators complete control over the machining environment. Its technical specifications reveal a machine built for accuracy:
- Adjustable Feeds and Speeds: Precision machining requires the right combination of speed and feed rate. The ACF200 features adjustable spindle rotation speeds (50-700 RPM) and variable boring bar feeds (0-175 mm/min). This allows the operator to tailor the cutting action to the specific hardness of the block material, ensuring a superior finish.
- Dual-Function Capability: The machine seamlessly transitions between boring and resurfacing. With a maximum table longitudinal travel of 1200mm and transversal travel of 200mm, operators can easily resurface the entire deck of a block in efficient passes.
- Robust Construction: The mechanical structure is tested and proven to reduce vibration, which is the enemy of a smooth finish. This rigidity ensures that whether you are cutting deep bores or skimming the deck, the tool remains stable and accurate.
Comprehensive Standard Equipment
The ACF200 comes ready to work. Standard equipment includes an adjustable spindle speed digital indicator, a precision centering device with a dial gauge, and a depth of boring device. It also includes a 350mm milling plate with CBN or PCD inserts, making it capable of resurfacing both cast iron and aluminum blocks right out of the box.
