Sawing and Pipe Processing Machines
Overview: Equipment used for cutting, threading, beveling, and shaping pipes and tubes in industrial and construction applications.
Common Machine Types:
- Band Saw Machines: Horizontal/vertical saws for precise pipe/tube cutting.
- Chop Saws (Abrasive Cut-Off): High-speed wheel cutting for metal pipes.
- Pipe Threaders: Manual or powered machines to cut screw threads on pipe ends.
- Beveling Machines: Portable or stationary tools for edge preparation (welding).
- Pipe Benders: Hydraulic or CNC-controlled for accurate bending angles.
- Notchers & Coping Saws: For complex pipe joint fabrication.
Key Components:
Motor drive, clamping system, cutting tool (blade/wheel), coolant system, alignment guides, safety guards.
Applications:
Oil & gas, plumbing, HVAC, shipbuilding, structural steel, and process piping systems.
