| Wortelboer introduces the new PBM-30  Th. Wortelboer B.V. presented the PBM-30. The complete PBM series, starting with the PBM-4, now has a reach of ½" till 30", clamping reach 780 mm. The PBM-30 is capable to prepare a pipe with a 35 mm wall in one machining. Of course thicker walls are possible by simply machining the pipe several times after another. The PBM-30 can be supplied with a so called copying system. A steel roll runs against the inside of the pipe and makes sure that the cutting tool exactly follows the contours of the pipe. The machine is fully electrical to operate and the clamping power of the heavy duty prism clamp is adjustable by a potentiometer.Also the speed of the axial feed is easy variable to adjust. As the PBM-24, this machine is very reliable and quick under any circumstances. The PBM-30 and the other PBM machines are used in offshore platform construction, pipe manufacturing, pipeline constructions and so on. A well prepared bevel decreases the change on failures during welding, and increases the quality of the welding process. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
