Key Features and Advantages
1. Split-Frame Construction for Direct Pipeline Installation
The machine features a two-piece frame that can be opened and assembled around the outside diameter of an existing pipe.
This mounting arrangement eliminates the need to slide the machine over a pipe end, making installation more convenient when working with continuous pipeline sections, fixed pipe networks, and restricted-access locations.
Key advantages include:
Two-piece frame for convenient installation and removal
External diameter clamping for secure positioning
Suitable for in-line pipeline machining
Adaptable to horizontal and vertical pipe installations
Practical for maintenance and modification of existing piping systems
2. Three Drive Options for Different Working Environments
Different pipeline projects have different power requirements. This machine series offers electric, hydraulic, and pneumatic drive configurations to accommodate a wider range of applications.
Electric Drive
Suitable for workshops and job sites with an appropriate electrical power supply. It provides a practical solution for routine pipe cutting and beveling operations.
Hydraulic Drive
Designed for applications requiring hydraulic power and suitable torque output. It can be configured for demanding industrial machining tasks according to the selected model.
Pneumatic Drive
Uses compressed air as the power source and is suitable for applications where pneumatic equipment is preferred or electrical power availability is limited.
The appropriate drive system can be selected according to pipe dimensions, material, machining requirements, and site conditions.
3. Multiple Machining Functions in One Machine
The equipment supports a variety of pipe end machining operations through different cutting tools and tool holder configurations.
Available machining operations include:
Pipe cutting and separation
Single-angle and compound beveling
Simultaneous pipe cutting and beveling
Internal counterboring
Flange facing
Internal and external pipe end machining
Pipe end preparation before welding
Combining several machining processes in one piece of equipment helps reduce the need for separate tools and additional handling during pipeline preparation.
4. Automatic Tool Holder Feed and Adjustable Beveling
The machine is equipped with an automatic tool holder feed mechanism to support controlled cutting and machining movements.
Its tooling configuration can be adjusted according to the required pipe end profile, bevel angle, and machining procedure.
Different cutting and beveling tools can be selected to meet specific welding preparation requirements and project specifications.
5. Extensive Pipe Diameter Coverage
The product range includes multiple models designed for different pipe outside diameters, from small industrial tubing to large-diameter pipelines.
Pipe OD range: 25–1,430 mm (1″–56″)
Standard wall thickness: Up to 30 mm
Heavy-duty wall thickness: Up to 110 mm on selected models
Multiple frame sizes for different pipe dimensions
Model selection based on actual pipe OD and machining requirements
This extensive size range allows customers to select equipment suited to their individual pipeline applications.
6. Adaptable to Complex Installation Conditions
The split-frame design makes the machine particularly useful for pipeline work where conventional end-mounted equipment is difficult to install.
It can be configured for machining:
Horizontal pipelines
Vertical pipelines
Existing in-line pipe sections
In-wall piping systems
Industrial steel pipelines
Suitable plastic pipe applications with compatible tooling and machining parameters
Actual installation depends on available clearance, pipe support, machine configuration, and operating conditions.
