Portable milling machines can be used for a wide range of applications in the oil & gas, power generation and many other sectors. Fixing methods include a gantry frame, which converts a 2-axis milling rail into a 3-axis machine, chain clamps, switch magnets and bolt holes. Take a look at the applications listed below and discover the type of projects where Mirage milling machines have been used.

How much do you really know about portable 3-axis milling machines? The name describes what they do, but not how they work, or the type of projects they're used on. 

These featured photos are highlights from those posted on our social media channels from April through to the end of June 2018. Included are heat exchanger machining, building of a clamshell cutters, a supersized hot tapping cutter and machines on test.

 Using a gantry with a milling rail creates working envelope to suit the specific project. it also enables a 2 axis milling rail to be used across 3 axes. This is illustrated in this case study from the construction sector.

Portable milling machines are used widely in the oil & gas and power generation industries. Some typical projects to date that have used Mirage milling machines include pipe seam weld removal, stay vane machining at a hydro plant, and heat exchanger refurbishment.

To help you understand how they are constructed and how they work we've designed a simple infographic to help you understand the basics. The illustration shows the MR2000-A Milling Machine, which is one of several 2 axis portable milling machines available in the Mirage range.
