THE latest product from EH Wachs, maker
of the Trav-L-Cutter and LCSF™ Low
Clearance Split Frame, is the SDSF™
Small Diameter Split Frame. The SDSF is
the foundation of a complete field portable
machine tool system, designed to perform
parting (cutting), single bevelling and
compound bevels prior to welding.
Named for its ability to be ‘split’ in half and
placed around the OD of inline tube and
pipe, the SDSF is engineered for smaller
OD pipes that require a precision lathe-
type finish where machining clearances
are low.
The Small Diameter Split Frame is suited
to industries where pipe and tubing are
concentrated in close proximity, as in
shipbuilding and pipe racks.
Equipped with optional accessories, the
SDSF will counterbore the ID and perform
perfect socket weld removal operations
(either axially or radially) in extremely tight
quarters. With the
FME (foreign material
exclusion) module,
the SDSF delivers
chipless parting, suitable
for high purity applications
such as food, dairy
and pharmaceutical.
All Wachs SDSFs
include the company’s
latest innovations in split frame design, with
each individually hand assembled to
exacting standards.
High quality components are used, such
as full roller bearing construction (instead
of bushings), hardened steel components
and an improved pinion drive with virtually
infinite drive motor mounting options.
A new bearing configuration requires
fewer adjustments and decreases drag,
while the redesigned trip assembly has
improvements for safety and performance.
Standard SDSF sizes accommodate 1" to
6" (25.4 to 152.4mm) OD, with additional
sizes available by special order. The
SDSF operates with Wachs electric or air
drive motors.
