Top quality tube
welding equipment
PROTEM owes its international recognition to values that it has
protected since its creation. These values are illustrated by its
knowledge and professionalism. More than 15,000 pieces of
Protem portable machining equipment are used all around
the world.
During the last 30 years, Protem designed more than 500
specific pieces of equipment according to its customers’ needs.
It also specialises in designing and manufacturing portable
pipe-end preparation tools such as pipe bevelling, tube cutting
and surfacing machines ranging from 3mm up to 3,600mm OD.
Protem’s portable pipe end preparation tools guarantee a high
quality and accurate pipe end preparation of pipes of different
alloys (such as carbon and stainless steels, duplex and super
duplex alloys). For this pipe end preparation, Protem offers a
large range of products, for example pipe bevelling machines of
the US-series.
The quality of welding will always depend on the quality of the
weld edges preparation. Different types of joints allow to prepare
tubes in order for them to be assembled – butt weld preparation:
V bevel; X bevel; and J bevel.
The welders are facing problems such as tubes that are
not perfectly round and which have a more or less important
ovalisation. For such cases, Protem bevelling machines can be
equipped with copying carriages and ovalisation trackers.
Protem bevelling machines are portable. They are light, reliable,
easy to use and they allow a perfect preparation with no thermally
affected zones. They are fitted out with tool-holder plates able to
bear several tool-holders. These machines allow the operator to
perfom simultaneously welding preparation operations and to get
a regular land, an appropriate counterboring if necessary, a bevel
as required. Their sturdy design is suitable for the machining of
tubes with great wall thickness.

RFID chip in magnets
INDUSTRIAL Magnetics, Inc has increased the lift capacity, or
holding values, on its line of PowerLift™ lifting magnets, and
included an RFID chip for maintenance tracking and reporting.
PowerLifts are strong and compact, permanent, rare earth lift
magnets that give the user the ability to turn the magnetic circuit on/
off manually with a positive ‘lock-on/off’ handle mechanism. This not
only ensures that the magnet is fully engaged for safe lifting but also
prevents accidental disengagement to the off position.
