Align Pipe with Fusion Machine
To align the pipe in the fusion machine, adjust the pipe stand so that the pipe fits inline with the jaws or inserts. Once
the adjustment is complete, stop the HPU engine.
On very uneven terrain or with bent pipe, the pipe stand may not go low enough to align the pipe in the fusion
machine jaws. Possible options for correcting alignment:
• Rotate the pipe so it bows sideways or up rather then down.
• Lower the pipe stand by digging out underneath it.
• Raise the fusion machine up with stable blocking.
On very uneven terrain or when using small pipe in a larger fusion machine, the pipe stand may not go high enough
to align the pipe in the fusion machine jaws. Possible options for correcting alignment:
• Raise the pipe stand with stable blocking.
• Dig out where the fusion machine is to lower it in relation to the pipe stand.
Operation
