Important: The machine was designed for preparation of weld surfaces. The
accuracy of machining is in the range of +/- 1 mm. Satisfactory results can be achieved
only under the condition that the edges of the material have been prepared perfectly.
Unfortunately, material is often burned or sheared. These inaccuracies, of course, have
impact on the results of machining.
5.5 Using the Pipe Adapter
The UZ12 machine is also able to bevel pipes with diameters from 95 mm.
The maximum diameter of the pipe is not specified. Sheet/A pipe can be theoretically
bevelled up to the expanded state, i.e. to the flat sheet.
In order to bevel pipes, it is necessary to buy a special adapter, order no. 1919.
The installation of the adapter shall be performed as follows:
•
Dismantle the console of auxiliary pulleys (positions A, B and C, fig. 5.5.1).
•
Install the adapter (position D, fig. 5.5.2) instead of the console (position A, fig. 5.5.1).
•
Install the pad (position B, fig. 5.5.1) and re-tighten the bolt (position C, fig. 5.5.1).
5.6 Bevelling of Pipes with the Adapter
•
Set the machine normally, refer to chapter 5.4. Bevelling.
•
Lead the pipe to the machine and hold it until the machine catches it (fig. 5.6.1).
Keep in mind that the machine was designed for flat sheets and bevelling of pipes is less
comfortable. Occasionally you may experience some complications.
