Line Boring
Line Boring is a precision process of aligning or realigning center-line bores on equipment and machinery. to eliminate wobbles, vibrations and/or potential equipment failures.
Heavy machinery goes through intense wear—especially at pivot points. As pin and bushing bores become oversized or misaligned, equipment can become unsafe and inefficient. As most machine operators and owners know, even with the best of care, machinery pin and bushing bores can wear out. It is especially common in high load hinge points like those found on heavy machinery and construction equipment, making the rebuilding of pin and bushing bores an on-going maintenance repair.
