two separate CNC lathes, operated independently on every side of the workpiece. The principal difference is that this end- working concept incorporates a fixed workpiece and revolving tools. All machining units are directly driven by servomotors and are therefore very stiff and designed for high torques. Typical applications include turning, tapping, threading, chamfering, boring, drilling, milling, deburring, slotting, and other operations where additional slide units are necessary for multi-axis machining. In order to produce complex contours, facing heads can also be implemented in dedicated machining units. Arla’s clamping systems are available as independent units. According to the model size the maximum outer diameter is 5-410mm, which is compatible with a maximum pipe size of 16" or less. The high clamping force is between 10 and 175kN. The workholding systems are actuated manually, pneumatically, or hydraulically. With reference to the workpiece design,

changeable jaw sets are used to reduce the diameter accordingly, without readjusting the centre for every change of diameter. A further option means that workpieces can be clamped and held in a special release position for radial and axial adjustment.

covered with fibreglass, and are designed to maximise the benefits of advanced materials over conventional alternatives such as brick lining and fibreglass lining. Benefits include impact resistance, corrosion resistance, mobility, minimal weight, leak proofing, environmentally friendly and fume free, increased longevity and zero maintenance. Anticor Tanks are designed, manufactured and tested to DVS 2205 (German Welding Association) for safety and longevity, and are manufactured with certified life and chemical resistance. Weld joints are tested as per German Welding Association DVS 2203. Welding quality is confirmed by a three point bend test. A specimen seam is subjected to a test of tensile and impact resistance. Leakage testing is carried out prior to dispatch by hydro, vacuum and spark test. Anticor pickling tanks are supplied with accessories such as nozzles, heating/ cooling coils, integral suction ducting for fume exhaust, integral slope for drain, lifting arrangement and top lid cover.
