Profiler solution for cutting and profiling pipe VERNON Tool, a Lincoln Electric Company subsidiary, has introduced the latest addition to its line of pipe cutting, bevelling and profiling products – the MasterPipe™ Profiler. The new system is an integration of features and functions targeted for small- to medium-sized fabricators. The MasterPipe Profiler is a two-axis, CNC-controlled pipe cutting machine capable of cutting and profiling pipe ranging from 1" to 12" OD and up to 40ft in length. Standard cuts include mid-section holes, mitres, multi-intersection, centreline offsets, saddles and straight cuts. The system is built to endure the rigours of pipe fabrication environments, and is powered by Vernon Tool’s standard Windows-basedoperatingsystem,WinMPM. This icon-driven touch screen interface makes training and implementation with operators seamless, and means fabricators can get into production within hours. The

MasterPipe Profiler can improve productivity, safety and quality by consolidating set-up, programming and cutting into one operation. When a pipe is loaded onto the MPP, the programming on the WinMPM interface consists of entering the pipe dimensional data and selecting the types of cuts from the Vernon Tool cut library. The menu-driven operating system is easy to use and does not require highly skilled operators. The system is also outfitted with a large pre- loaded cut library, providing maximum pipe configuration flexibility.

Founded in 1930, Vernon Tool Company manufactures computer-controlled pipe cutting equipment used for precision fabrication purposes. The company provides solutions to difficult pipe fabrication and process flow issues in industrial construction, as well as heavy fabrication uses in the infrastructure and energy-related segments.
