Design and construct of tube

cutting machines

PANAMAC designs and constructs

systems for tube cutting and machining,

and is located in North-Eastern Italy.

Panamac continuously develops new

technological solutions and aims to

perfect those that already exist.

The cutting systems Panamac designs

and constructs are highly adaptable and

offer excellent overall reliability. They

are also free from oleodynamic drives

resulting in low noise level operation

and low running costs.

Panamac orbital cutting units embody

a number of advantages with respect

to traditional systems, including silent

running, rapid operation, perfectly flat,

perpendicular cuts and an excellent

finish.

The company has obtained the patent

on the ‘competely mechanical’ cut

system and with this step forward it has

obtained important results on the cut

quality and an improvement of the work

conditions inside the factory as well as

benefits for the environment.

Its innovative cutting system transfers

pieces of tube to the correct working

station on a rotary table and can handle

tubes up to a diameter of 70mm in this

way. When using a more linear transfer

system pieces up to a diameter of

300mm can be cut.

With this system users obtain a

modular and compact solution that

permits them to carry out simultaneous

operations (tube cutting, both ends

machined simultaneously, blowing and

unloading of work pieces).

The operations carried out by the

end finishing unit are, for example,

chamfering,

flattening,

threading,

boring, marking, etc, according to the

client’s request.

All the lines Panamac produces are

equipped with touch-screens that are

extremely user friendly and equipped

with function keys and a large screen.

Additionally, the wide viewing angle lets

users read the displayed pages from an

angle.

This instrument enables the operator

to view diagnostic messages, warnings

or operator instructions in real time

and simultaneously edit operating

parameters simply and directly. The

front panel is water resistant and is

electrically protected in compliance with

IP65F standards.

Panamac’s TR machine

Socket fusion tool for

PP installations

MCELROY,

a

manufacturer

of

thermoplastic pipe fusion machines,

has launched its latest socket fusion

tool for polypropylene pipe installations.

The Spider 125 with Universal Clamping

is suitable for installations using 63 to

125mm PP pipe in overhead, vertical

and tight workspaces.

The new universal clamping feature

allows the latest Spider 125 model

to accommodate any size of pipe or

coupling, eliminating the need for

inserts. The original Spider 125 is

designed with a chain-clamping system,

and it is supplied with a variety of insert

sizes for pipes and fittings.

“We are pleased to bring this new

feature to the Spider 125 which will

continue to give operators the tools

they need to perform socket fusions

on challenging jobsites,” said McElroy

president Chip McElroy. “Our fusion

products are becoming recognised as

the best complement to polypropylene

pipe installations which are being used

more and more in today’s best and most

advanced indoor piping systems.”

At 15lb, the Spider 125 with Universal

Clamping is a lightweight, compact de-

vice with a worm gear drive and parallel

link system that brings pipes and fittings

together evenly and under control. A sin-

gle technician can align, heat, fuse and

cool the pipe, and because the Spider is

non-back drivable, constant pressure is

maintained throughout the process.

The Spider 125 with Universal

Clamping is supplied with its own

carrying case: a full assortment of

heaters and heater adapters in the

63 to 125mm range are available. PP

fused pipe systems are used in many

residential, commercial and industrial

applications, including potable water,

chilled water, grey water, heating and

cooling systems, hydronics, geothermal

and compressed air systems, rainwater

collection and irrigation, chemical

transport and fire suppression systems.
