This machine supplements the established product range of stationary pipe bevelling machines. The semi-mobile pipe bevelling machine is characterised by its flexible applicability. The machine can refine pipes that show quality problems after production. It is placed in position by a crane, and is centrically clamped automatically. By using a jib crane the machine is able to chamfer both pipe ends successively without the need to turn the pipe. Another advantage of the plant is the flexible diameter adjustment. By an easy exchange of clamping cassettes the diameter can be changed quickly from 16" to 56". The pipe is clamped from inside and by a precise feed the required chamfer (I, Y and X) is bevelled by a copying process to the pipe end. The new development currently works up to 50mm wall thickness, for pipes up to 56" in diameter. MFL’s product range for the pipe industry also includes stationary pipe bevelling machines, carbide tipped cold circular sawing machines, plate and strip edge milling machines and welding seam processing machines.

System applications include welded and stainless tube, automotive tube, oil country tubular goods, heat exchanger and duplex tube, among others. Email: contactus@mac-ndt.com Website: www.mac-ndt.com Maschinenfabrik Liezen und Gießerei Austria 6E41 MASCHINENFABRIK Liezen und Gießerei (MFL) develops and manufactures sawing and milling machinery for the steel and tube industry. MFL’s target is to advance and refine existing systems to satisfy rising quality and capacity demands. The company’s product range includes different kinds of machinery for the production of longitudinal welded, spiral and seamless pipes. To complete the range for the pipe industry, MFL has developed a semi-mobile pipe bevelling machine for the repair and pipe end bevelling of large diameter pipes.

meeting current API standards. Because MAC can offer all of these technologies, designed and manufactured in its own plants, the systems can be fully integrated, providing operators with a consistent look and feel as well as enabling combined defect reporting and monitoring. The testers can easily be combined into complete test systems including triple pinch benches to maintain accurate positioning, standard and custom conveyors, markers, sorters, demagnetisers, water circulation systems for ultrasonic test applications, and sophisticated controls, all designed by MAC.
