Cutting and bevelling The E-Z Fab is an innovative development in workshop- based, semi-portable, self-centring, semi-automated cutting and bevelling systems, offering high pipe cutting and bevelling speed, range and capacity. Seven models enable the TAG E-Z Fab to cover a range of ½" to 30" pipe. TAG’s split-frame toolboxes are bolted to a rotating ring on the E-Z Fab machine. Due to the rigidity of the frame and the strength of the ring, these toolboxes, fitted with TAG HS HD tooling, can be rotated around the contour of the pipe at high speed (up to 35 rpm), and are fed into the cut on every rotation by a striker system, feeding the tooling down a thread via a gear-controlled transmission slide. As an example, 6" carbon steel with 22mm wall thickness can be set up, cut and bevelled in six minutes and 34 seconds. Pipe is loaded into the machine and clamped in seconds by a rapid self-centring jaw system. Power is delivered from a new single-phase 1.75kW NC-controlled servo motor that delivers power and torque, even under heavy load, enabling uninterrupted cutting and bevelling. The system can be coupled with TAG’s new programmable Delta touch screen control, with pre-set and memorable application settings. The Delta NC control delivers a signal to the servo motor according to the operator’s touch screen instruction. Pulse (jog), start/stop and soft start features are incorporated into all modes, allowing tool set-up and final checks to be made under controlled conditions.
