3.4 INFORMATION ON THE EQUIPMENT
Following equipment is available for F-400 machine:
• Heating unit is equipment used for heating the pipe to be flanged or otherwise formed.
The heating unit enables the flanging of thick-walled pipes. The equipment comprises an
optional range of different heating nozzles, an infrared thermometer and an automatic
flame guard.
• Bevelling unit to be used for bevelling the edge of the pipe end, to prepare it for
welding.
• Forming pin. Different forming pins are available for forming a grooved flange and for
flanging stainless steel pipes. The standard forming pin delivered with the machine is for
use on normal steel pipes. For flaring not necessary to use grooved forming pin
• Expansion pin to expand the end of the pipe for a sleeve extension.
• Pipe gripping clamps which can be ordered according to pipe diameter, available for
diameters from Ø42.4-Ø419mm.
• Potentiometer and display.
Display for adjusting the potentiometer (Diameter of the flange, the rearmost and the
front position of the frame.)
