426mm Split Frame Pipe Cutting & Beveling Machine
The 426mm Split Frame Pipe Cutting & Beveling Machine is designed for precision cold cutting and pipe end preparation on metal pipes with outside diameters ranging from 273mm to 426mm (10–16 inches). Its split frame construction allows the machine to open into two sections and mount directly around existing pipelines, providing stable clamping for on-site machining operations.
Equipped with an automatic tool holder and adjustable bevel angle, this OD-mounted pipe cutter performs cutting, beveling, internal boring, and flange facing. Electric, hydraulic, and pneumatic drive configurations are available to suit different industrial working conditions.
With a standard wall thickness capacity of up to 30mm and optional heavy-duty configurations, the machine is suitable for pipeline installation, maintenance, and industrial pipe fabrication.
Key Features and Advantages
1. Split Frame Design for Direct Pipe Mounting
The machine adopts a two-piece split frame structure that allows it to open and mount around the outside diameter of an existing pipe.
This design eliminates the need to slide the equipment over the pipe end, making installation more convenient for fixed pipeline systems, large pipe sections, and restricted-access working environments.
It supports machining on horizontal, vertical, and other accessible pipeline installations.
2. Precision Cold Cutting and Pipe End Preparation
Designed for mechanical pipe machining, the equipment performs cold cutting without relying on flame or plasma cutting processes.
It is suitable for applications requiring controlled material removal and accurate pipe end preparation before welding or further fabrication.
The machine can perform in-line cutting and simultaneous cutting and beveling, depending on the selected tooling and machining configuration.
3. Multiple Machining Functions
The Model 426 combines several pipe processing operations in one machine, helping reduce the need for separate machining equipment.
Available operations include:
Pipe cold cutting
Pipe end beveling
Internal boring and counterboring
Flange facing
Outside diameter machining
Pipe end preparation for welding
The multifunctional design provides greater flexibility for industrial pipe fabrication and pipeline maintenance.
4. Adjustable Bevel Angle and Automatic Tool Movement
The bevel angle can be selected according to different pipe end preparation and welding requirements.
The automatic tool holder movement helps maintain consistent tool feed during machining, supporting accurate cutting and beveling operations.
This configuration is suitable for projects involving different pipe end profiles and machining requirements.
5. Multiple Drive Configurations
The machine is available with different power source options to accommodate various industrial working environments.
Electric Drive: Suitable for sites with an appropriate electrical supply.
Hydraulic Drive: Provides a hydraulic power option for demanding industrial machining applications.
Pneumatic Drive: Suitable for working environments equipped with compressed air systems.
The final drive configuration should be selected according to the required machining capacity, site conditions, and machine specifications.
6. Customizable for Different Pipe Machining Requirements
Although Model 426 is designed for pipe outside diameters from 273mm to 426mm, other models are available for different pipe sizes.
Customization can be discussed according to pipe material, wall thickness, cutting requirements, power source, and working conditions.
