C utting , S awing & S aw B lades Haven Manufacturing Corporation introduces fibre optic tube laser machine

HAVEN Manufacturing Corporation, through its exclusive agreement with SOCO Machinery of Taiwan, has introduceed a new fibre optic tube laser system. The SOCO SLT-150 is a 5-axis automatic laser system for laser machining and cutting of tubes and pipes up to 152mm (6") in OD and thicknesses up to 6mm in mild steel.

It is used for cutting various types of complex shapes, replacing other conventional machines and minimising labour, handling, material waste and multiple machining steps. The SLT-150 employs a high power, 1kW fibre laser, able to cut through at high speeds mild steel, stainless and aluminium.

Haven also manufactures a full line of tube cutting and processing equipment. Its dual-blade shear and supported shear technologies are globally recognised as the most reliable and efficient products in the market. Haven Manufacturing Corporation – USA Website: www.havencut.com Pipe cutting and bevelling PRESTIGE Industrial Pipework Equipment (PIPE) Ltd is a supplier of pipework fabrication cutting and bevelling equipment. The company can cater for any cutting and bevelling requirements, whether cold or hot cutting, for workshop or on-site environments. Two of the most popular machines in the company’s range are the split frame cutting and bevelling machines: the heavy duty steel frame ‘supercutter’ and the lightweight alloy body MCA Clamshell. These machines are designed for the cold cutting and bevelling of pipe, where the use of a hot cutting method is prohibited or a machined bevel is required. The split frame design enables the operator to mount the machine anywhere along a pipeline, to cut and bevel the pipe simultaneously. Suitable for on-site work or in areas where there is restricted access to the pipe, due to their low profile design, once clamped on the pipe, the cut and bevel is produced by an inner rotating ring, housing cutting tools mounted in spring loaded toolboxes which follow the contour of the pipe to produce an accurate weld preparation. Cutting tools are available to machine mild steel, stainless steel and exotic materials such as duplex and super duplex. The machines can be provided with electric, pneumatic or hydraulic motors, and models are available to cut from 1" to 60" pipe (with larger sizes made to order), with all types of weld preparation achievable on wall thicknesses up to 60mm.
