BGV260 – Cylinder Head Guide Press
The Comec BGV260 is the ideal solution for simplifying complex valve guide replacement operations in engine heads. This machine tool is designed to provide comfort, speed and precision in engine grinding shops.
DESCRIPTION
The COMEC BGV260 is an advanced press specifically designed for the replacement of valve guides in cylinder heads. This versatile machine is suitable for a wide range of applications, from small car engines to large diesel engines in industrial vehicles, providing convenience, speed, and precision.
The COMEC BGV260 integrated hydraulic/mechanical system enables the upper hydraulic cylinder to apply consistent pressure on the valve guide, facilitating its removal. Simultaneously, it raises the press body to the load cell.
This setup features two separate gauges to display the working pressure: one measures low pressures in kilograms and the other high pressures in tons. The pressure can be adjusted up to a maximum of 5 tons by operating a dedicated valve, ensuring precise control throughout the operational process.
The cylinder head cradle is both sturdy and adjustable, allowing it to rotate up to ±50°. This flexibility enables the optimal positioning of the cylinder head for the extraction and insertion of the guides. Additionally, the integrated LED lighting system provides optimal visibility over the work area, enhancing precision and efficiency.
The hydraulic control unit of the COMEC BGV260 guarantees the necessary power for the hydraulic cylinder operation and precise pressure regulation. Independent pressure gauges offer detailed control over the working force. The swiveling cradle is designed with adjustable supports to accommodate different cylinder head configurations, while the included set of push-rod tips allows work on various types of valve guides.
The standard package of the BGV260 also includes integrated LED spotlights, service wrenches, and a detailed instruction manual to facilitate machine operation and maintenance.
The COMEC BGV260 offers a horizontal movement of 1100 mm, a vertical movement of 50 mm, and an upper cylinder stroke of 260 mm. The table rotation reaches ±50°, while the maximum working pressure is 180 bar, with a force ranging from 0 to 5 tons. The motor power is 1.5 kW, and the electrical connection requires 230V, 1 phase, 50Hz.
This press is a robust and versatile solution for machine shops, capable of handling a wide range of cylinder heads with efficiency and precision. It reduces downtime and improves overall productivity in valve guide replacement operations.
