Malm\u00f6, Sweden-headquartered engine maintenance<\/a> equipment specialist Chris-Marine AB has launched the PSL portable surface lathe, a high-precision solution designed for efficient sealing surface machining both in-situ and in workshops ashore.<\/p>\n

Developed for small and medium bore diesel and gas engines, the PSL offers fast set-up, easy mounting and precise alignment, all operated by a single technician. Its compact, robust design and electrically driven system enable reliable in-situ machining while significantly reducing downtime and operational costs.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the PSL portable surface lathe, we deliver a high-precision solution that simplifies sealing surface restoration for small and medium bore engines, both in-situ and in workshops worldwide,\u201d said Leif Abildgaard, chief commercial officer, Chris-Marine AB. \u201cBy enhancing engine reliability and reducing downtime, the PSL supports cost-efficient maintenance and the industry\u2019s move toward more sustainable operations.\u201d<\/p>\n

The PSL restores sealing surfaces with a concentric sealing pattern, ensuring optimal pressure sealing and effectively eliminating gas leakage. This concentric finish provides a clear advantage over traditional grinding and milling methods, which cannot achieve the same level of sealing integrity.<\/p>\n

With an operating range of 190\u2013600 mm, the PSL is suitable for machining sealing surfaces on engine frames, cylinder heads and cylinder liners. Features such as dual-direction feed, reduced machining time and a stepless adjustable control unit ensure consistent, repeatable results across a wide range of applications.<\/p>\n

Developed in accordance with requirements from major engine designers, the PSL meets industry standards for compliance, precision and long-term engine reliability.<\/p>\n

By enabling high-quality sealing surface restoration without the need for outsourcing, the PSL supports cost-efficient maintenance, sustainable engine operation and maximum engine availability.<\/p>\n
