T echnology U pdate 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.
