Stinger Hinge Line Boring and Flange Facing - Singapore

Goltens carried out an In-Situ machining operation on a pair of Stinger Hinges on a newbuild cable-laying vessel being built in a shipyard in Singapore. The job involved the removal of a substantial amount of material from the two hinges’ rough-cut bores as well as from the faces of the hinges. Given the hinge pin bore diameter of 1350mm x 600mm long, and the substantial amount of material to be removed (around 30mm) the team used its large diameter (160mm dia. Bar) heavy cut boring equipment. The new machinery, designed by Goltens’ Global Line Boring team, has a rigid design capable of carrying out heavy cuts, shortening machining time for larger jobs.
