Sygma Alpha-I 50-160 flange facing machine

The Sygma™ Alpha-I 50-160 is the largest machine in the Alpha-I series. It clamps internally in bores from Ø 1,276 to 3,356 mm and machines flanges from Ø 1,118 to 4,168 mm (44 to 164 inch). With the arm and extension kit this goes up to Ø 5,080 mm (200 inch).

Like all machines in the Alpha series, the Alpha-I 50-160 is available with different, interchangeable drives. Thanks to the modular design you can also quickly and easily convert an Alpha-I for orbital milling, with the Legacy milling unit.

Does the standard version not meet your requirements, or would you like to rent the machine for one job? Contact us; we will be happy to discuss the possibilities.

Features

Quick to set up, easy to operate

Plug & play: the machine is quickly mounted on the flange and can be operated without extensive instruction.

Optimum stability

The high torque and firm clamping ensure smooth, accurate machining.

ION-4 gearbox

Heavy-duty gearbox, developed by Sygma itself: high torque and zero backlash.

Zero backlash

The drive works without backlash, for a crisp and accurate face.

NO-ROW™ clamping feet

Sygma's NO-ROW™ clamping feet fix the machine stably and with low vibration in the flange bore.

Adjustable clamping feet

For quick and exact alignment on the flange.

Built-in safety features

The safety features are integrated into the design of the machine.

Multiple drives

Available with different, interchangeable drives, so you can handle any job on site.

Multiple surface finishes

From a spiral groove (stock finish) to a smooth finish: you choose the finish that suits the gasket.

Adaptable to your application

Doesn't the standard configuration suit your job? Sygma supplies options and custom solutions; we are happy to think along.
