Mathey Dearman Inc assists with a
host of pipeline and fabrication welding
requirements, with the design and
construction of a substantial range of
machinery. This range includes ten models
of cutting and bevelling machines for all
types of pipe and pipe diameters, fifteen
types of pipe alignment and reforming
clamps for welders and pipefitters, sixteen
models of welding electrode and flux ovens,
and twenty-four assorted smaller pipe tools
for pipe fitting and layout.
Dependable and tough, the company’s
cutting and bevelling machines are
specifically designed for critical pipe
applications that require a high degree of
cut quality and accuracy. Mathey Dearman
offers both manual and motorized cutting
and bevelling machines to cut and bevel or
contour pipe ends.
Whether the process involves aligning and/
or reforming small tubes or larger vessels,
a Mathey Dearman clamp is available to
fit the process requirement. The company
as shipbuilding, manufacturing, and
automotive repair.
The company’s product line includes
handheld and mechanised plasma systems
and consumables, as well as CNC motion
and height controls. Hypertherm systems
provide performance and reliability that
can result in increased productivity and
profitability.
The company’s reputation for plasma
innovation dates back to 1968, with
Hypertherm’s invention of water injection
plasma cutting.

The International Tube Association (ITA)
is the world’s largest association of tube
and pipe engineers, and its presence will
be geared towards offering assistance to
tube and pipe professionals. An emphasis
will be placed on the membership benefits
available, including support services at
the major tube shows worldwide and the
educational opportunities provided through
technical conferences and seminars.
Existing members can ensure they are
taking full advantage of the enhanced range
of membership benefits. Non-members
will be able to learn all about what the
Association can do for them. They can
collect details of the ITA benefits including
reduced delegate fees for ITA conferences,
free promotional opportunities in the ITAN
newsletter, and free visitor entry and
hospitality at selected exhibitions.
Members can also gain access to copies
of ITA technical conference papers, and
large discounts for company promotion
on (the comprehensive
online material, product and equipment
database). In addition, all members
receive a free annual subscription to the

J&S Machine will present the CR138-RIMW,
one of the newest machines in the Tre C
product line at Fabtech 2008. The CR138
is a PC-based CNC tube-pipe, angle, and
section roll bender.
The control (CNW333) used in the new
machine is currently the most advanced
version of the company’s numerical
controls. Consisting of an industrial
computer with Windows XP operating
system displayed on a 17″ colour monitor,
it manages the programming of up to 36
different radii on a single part.
It also automatically controls over 100
roller rotation speeds, performing small
bending radii and complex geometry such
as ellipses, polygons and bending by
points.
With over 500 automatic positioning speeds
moving both lower rollers, the machine
guarantees high precision in the transitions
between straights and bends or between
one radius and another.
Simple programming is facilitated by default
setup templates for the various geometries.
It is managed by keying in the radii of the
required bends. Files can be imported
directly into the control using a DXF file
format utilizing the USB interface or network
connections for interfacing with other PCs
for the data exchange.
The operator can quickly setup and perform
the required work processes by using
automatic encoder positioning, photo-eye
start detection and the bending archives
creation. Other Tre C machine versions will
also be displayed.
