HOW TO PERFORM COMPOUND BEVELS ON HEAVY PIPES

USE COMPOUND BEVELS TO REDUCE YOUR WELDING OPERATIONS COSTS

The copying carriage option was design to perform compound bevels for wall thicknesses over 50mm (1.968”).

The use of a compound bevel provides a reduction in the amount of weld metal that needs to be deposited in the weld bead. The aim is to avoid welding operations that are too long and too costly from a labor and consumables point of view.

The Copying Carriage option is made for PROTEM beveling machines in the US40 to US450 range and PROTEM cutting and beveling machines in the TT-NG series.

Using HSS or carbide inserts allows machining on metal pipes including mild steel, chrome, stainless steel, duplex, super duplex, coppernickel alloy steel, inconel, P91, aluminium, copper, exotic alloys and more.

RELIABLE AND ACCURATE COPYING CARRIAGE SYSTEM

During the machining operation, the operator’s safety is ensured by the safety cover which is situated over the copying arm during rotation.
