SUHNER, Italy, has unveiled a new belt
sander for pipes called the UTG 9-R,
which it says is compact, strong and easy
to handle.
Its drive power is 1,000 watt and it can
be perfectly transmitted to the abrasive belt
and the boosted drive and the higher overall
speed of the belt (6-13 ms-1) means a better
performance.
The UTG 9-R can be wrapped around the
pipes thanks to the adjustable tilting contact
roller. Max 220° contact without the risk of
overheating or loss of heat in the case of thin-
walled pipes. The UTG 9-R can be used on
pipes ranging in diameter from 20 to 70mm.
This new product is designed and built
to guarantee safety as access to the open
EXEL Orbital Products has announced
a new 150amp compact orbital welding
power supply. The EPS-1500 software is an
evolution of the technology developed for
the EPS-2000 with greater portability and
with new features resulting in ease of use.
The EPS-1500 has a large 12" touch
screen controller with enhanced colour
graphics to make programming easy using
the intuitive interface screens. Expanded
capabilities now allow direct compatibility
with all other manufacturers weld heads.
The EPS-1500 programming takes only a
abrasive belt is only possible inside the
actual work zone. The rest of the belt is
covered to protect against any accidental
direct contact.
Often, when they are in use such belts
have the unfortunate characteristic that
they draw dust with them as they return
after sanding and then release this into
the surrounding area via the transmission
rollers. This problem has been eliminated
thanks to the virtually complete protection
of the abrasive belt.

few minutes of training and an experienced
orbital welder can write multi-level, multi-
pass, stepped or patented S3 single pass/
single slope weld schedules.
The EPS-1500 has two USB ports that
make connecting peripherals a simple
process. In addition, there is a network
connection allowing for access to both local
networks and the Internet.

New generation belt sander
Operator-friendly welder
New sawing
machine
FRAMAG has successfully installed and
commissioned a KKS 800 billet sawing
machine at Stahl Judenburg, Austria.
The state-of-the-art sawing machine is
designed to cut rectangle billets up to 200
x 150mm and square billets 80-165mm
with maximum length of 1,500-4,500mm
per work piece.
First the material for perfect cut is
positioned on the chain conveyor where a
laser length measuring device is installed
for measuring and minimising of scrap. The
cut frequency of maximum 90 pieces per
hour is exactly co-ordinated with the further
processing steps within the production line.
The sawing machine KKS 800 is also
equipped with a chip conveyor, a scrap
removal unit and a run out roller table as well
as a lock-out unit.
Good cut quality results from the
technical combination of sawing column
made of Hydropol® , extreme torsion-stiff and
robust sawing gear box as well as stable
and vibration-free clamping devices. The
combination of these three critical factors
reduces vibrations caused by the sawing
process. The sawing machine is easy to
operate and maintain.
