Comec RP1300 – Cylinder Head And Engine Block Resurfacing Machine
The Comec RP1300 cylinder head and engine block resurfacing machine is an excellent solution for engine rebuilding shops looking for a traditional machine tool that performs surface finishing by grinding stones.
DESCRIPTION
The COMEC RP1300 is an advanced surface finishing machine designed for the machining of cylinder heads and engine blocks for cars and industrial vehicles, but it is also suitable for the machining of all flat surfaces that require perfect precision of the contact surfaces. This model combines proven technical solutions with the latest innovations to ensure optimum performance and excellent machining quality.
The COMEC RP1300 uses prismatic rails machined into the table, which are always well lubricated, ensuring smooth and precise table movements. The table is fed by a recirculating ball screw with a wide range of adjustment. The variable speed is controlled by an inverter, which allows the rotation speed of the spindle to be adapted to different operating requirements, improving the flexibility and efficiency of the machining process.
All of the machine’s controls are mounted on a rotating console that can be easily adjusted by the operator, allowing safe and intuitive control of all machine functions. Standard equipment on the COMEC RP1300 includes a variable table feed with ball screw, a grinding stone holder plate complete with stones for cast iron and aluminum, and a special tool for aluminum machining.
It is also equipped with a coolant system with a wheel-mounted settling tank and pump, and a wheel dressing device with dressing wheel to regenerate the abrasive surface, ensuring consistent, high-quality grinding results. Various clamping accessories, including flat cylinder head holders and mounting brackets of various sizes, complete the equipment.
An optional CBN-PCD insert holder plate is available, ideal for high-speed milling of cast iron and aluminum, increasing the machine’s versatility and enabling faster, more accurate machining.
Technical specifications of the COMEC RP1300 include a table travel of 1400 mm, a maximum machinable length of 1225 mm and a maximum machinable width of 355 mm. The machinable height ranges from a minimum of 190 mm to a maximum of 710 mm, while the usable table area is 1100 x 230 mm. The diameter of the segmented grinding wheel is 355 mm, with a variable speed between 300 and 1500 rpm. The variable speed of the table feed is between 0 and 1500 mm/min.
The machine is driven by a 4.0 kW head motor, a 0.75 kW table motor, a 0.18 kW rapid head motor, and a 0.12 kW coolant pump motor.
The COMEC RP1300 is therefore an ideal choice for machinists who need a reliable and versatile machine for flattening cylinder heads and engine blocks, offering precision and efficiency in every operation.
