Until Climax came on-
board, it took 240 hours for
a shipyard to re-machine
just one submarine missile
tube. That’s nearly 3 man-
years for a sub’s usual
array of 24 tubes.
In response, Climax
came up with an innovative
custom boring tool based on its patented technologies. Setup and monitoring
are radically easier, and Climax provided on-site training. Now each tube
takes a single shift five days, start to finish.
When it comes to improving their maintenance and repair, shipyards
rely on Climax. The solution may range from a clever new mount for a
standard Climax tool to an all-new custom machine. It may involve
on-the-job consultation or a major training program like one we recently
held for ten of China’s largest shipyards. Today Climax is uniquely
equipped to support you everywhere that machining and machine tools
affect your bottom line.
