Bug-O Systems/Cypress Welding Equip-
ment, a manufacturer of welding and cutting
automation equipment, will display its newest
innovations for increasing productivity.
The MM-1 is an economical automatic pipe
cutter. The computer-controlled, 2-axis
machine automates the cutting of shapes,
profiles and holes in pipe with diameters of
2″ to 16″ (optional up to 24″). Programmed
shapes such as saddle, hillside, lateral and
mitre cuts can be made by simply selecting
the type of cut from a menu, entering the
diameters of the pipe being processed, and
pressing the run button to cut the pipe.
Bug-O’s All Time girth welder is a self-
propelled welding system for horizontal
welding of field storage tanks. The girth
welder can reduce field storage tank
welding time by up to 40 per cent. Weld
defects are greatly reduced, saving tank
erection costs.
Behringer offers a wide selection of models,
enabling the company to provide customers
with systems that deliver the appropriate
size ranges, options, and material handling
requirements for their particular applications.
The company conducts research, design
and testing, and controls the manufacturing
process internally, with its own foundry and
machining centres, to ensure quality and
availability of materials.
The Behringer dual column horizontal
design can handle demanding cutting
applications and high production
requirements. The company’s latest
technologies include saws designed
specifically for carbide cutting in the new
line of HBM model saws. This technology
allows users to get the most out of their
investment in carbide blades, by using a
saw with the appropriate motor, gearbox,
and rigidity.
