Robins Machines

Description

The Robins SG 5.1 is the industry standard for cylinder head seat and guide machining, offering both reliability and economic efficiency.

Its high-precision carbide centering pilots, integrated within a lightweight air-float work head, ensure accurate concentricity between the valve guide and cylinder head bore, minimizing runout and optimizing valve train performance.

Designed for versatility, the SG 5.1 is suitable for reconditioning domestic and imported performance automotive cylinder heads, as well as motorcycle engine components. Robins also provides customizable tooling options, allowing workshops to tailor the machine to their specific needs, improving efficiency and workflow.
