AB 651 VS
Con-rod boring machine
Berco has developed the new
AB 651 boring machine for
rational, efficient reconditioning
of internal combustion engine
connecting rods, whether large
or small size.
The result of technical updating
of a previous very popular
model, the AB 651 bor-ing
machine is designed specifically
for reconditioning con-rods, but
thanks to its versatile
conception in can also be used
for re-boring other similar
components and, if suitably
equipped, for reconditioning
finned single cylinder
compressor or motorcycle cyl-
inder blocks.
Supplied complete with all items
necessary for immediate use,
the AB 651 can be further
adapted to meet special
operating requirements using
the vast range of option-al
accessories available.
The machine’s technical and
construction features can be
summarised in a few basic
points:
• Structural elements
In high strength cast iron,
stabilized.
• Slideways
Incorporated in structure and
generously sized, complete
with tapered gibs to take up
any clearance.
•Table traverse

a single box fixed to the
machine base in an easy-
access position. The reduction
gear wheels and shafts are
manufactured in specially
selected materials and all
operate in oil bath.
• Connecting-rod setup
Three systems are available:
- three-blade mandrel having
strictly concentric expansion to
ensure that the original
distance and alignment
between the centre-lines of the
holes at the con-rod big and
Fig. 3
small ends are maintained
(Fig. 4)
- V-square for con-rod setup,
especially useful for small rods
where the gudgeon pin is used
for positioning (Fig. 5)
- optional universal setup plate
for use when the side surface
of the con-rod big end is used
for positioning (Fig. 6)
•Spindle shaft
The spindle shaft is in heat
hardened alloy steel and turns
in oil bath on precision tapered
roller bearings.
•Machining quality
Perfect geometry and high
precision surface finish are
guaranteed by the use of an

advanced technology product.
