To adjust the clamping force of the chuck
Before adjusting the clamping force of
the chuck you need to know whether
clamping is set to the inside or outside
of the pipe. When clamping a pipe
approximately 80% of the set clamping
force is used to clamp the pipe, 100%
of the clamping force is used to release
the pipe. If the wrong clamping style has
been set, the pipe will be clamped with
100% force making it difficult (if not
impossible) to release the pipe again.

Using the spark and fume reverser
Fumes (and sparks) from the cutting
process are deflected back into the pipe
by this component. The fume extractor
connected to the back of the main drive
sucks the fumes through the pipe and
into the dust collector or extraction
system creating a continuous flow. When
cutting positive bevels on the end of the
pipe this component also deflects sparks
back into the pipe to minimise the risk
of injury to the operator and damage to
other components or cables and hoses.
Positioning the spark and fume reverser
Move the reverser well out of the way
when loading a pipe onto the machine
to ensure it is not damaged. Load the
pipe onto the machine and move the
The hydraulic clamp force of the SPC 500
- 1200 range can be adjusted manually
by using the valve knob next to the main
drive control panel. The clamping force
can be read from the pressure gauge.
The set clamping force is an average
value, discretion should always be used
when clamping pipes, thin walled pipes
and certain materials (e.g. copper) will
require a lower clamping force to avoid
damage or distortion of the pipe.
cutting trolley into position for the first
cut. Determine the initialisation point
for the cutting sequence. Now swing the
spark and fume reverser into position at
the end of the pipe. Position the curved
section in the centre of the pipe with the
end just inside the pipe opening.
The machine can cut a range of pipe
diameters so the reverser must always
be positioned manually. Open the
compressed air tap to create an air
flow into the pipe. When cutting starts,
manually adjust the position so that the
spark stream is deflected back into the
pipe. Use a stiff brush to remove the dust
and residue from the spark and fume
reverser once the cut is completed.
Instead of (or as well as) pipe trolleys
the SPC machines can be equipped with
a roller ball gutter. A roller ball gutter
has the same function as the pipe
trolleys and is especially useful when
many relatively short positions have to
be cut from a pipe length. The roller ball
gutter can be installed on the pipe trolley
rails and is suitable for pipes up to a
maximum outer diameter of 610 mm.
