Universal pipe notching
machines
ALMI Machinefabriek, Netherlands, has
developed a series of manually operated
and electrically driven machines for the
notching of pipes. The machines are
suitable for use with a variety of pipe,
including stainless steel, non-ferrous, gas
pipes and steam pipes.
The quality of a welded tube construction
depends largely upon the right preparation.
For applications where pipes need to
be welded together at an angle of 90°,
ALMI’s pipe notching machines ensure
that the correct slot is cut quickly and
accurately. The pipe is placed in a rotatable
clamp, which is mounted on a compound
rest/carriage, enabling the grinding of a
diameter to the required angle.
The benefits of grinding instead of milling
include cost-savings, and an easier,
shorter process. Unlike punch-cutting
machines, which use separate auxiliary
tools, ALMI pipe notchers are ready for
work immediately. The machines are also
suitable for making double corner joints,
and the range includes a notcher for sink
outflow.
