Drive Options
IDE159 - MT Electric Motor Drive
Outfitted with a high-efficiency 1.6 kW (2.15 Hp) MT motor, operating on 220-240 V, 50/60 Hz. This setup ensures consistent output and precise control, making it a preferred choice for locations with a stable power infrastructure and high operational accuracy requirements.
IDB159 - Bosh Electric Motor Drive
Driven by a 1.0 kW (1.34 Hp) Bosh electric motor, also rated for 220-240 V, 50/60 Hz. Renowned for its rugged reliability and long service life, this variant is particularly suited for factory-based applications and repair facilities where tool dependability is paramount.
IDP159 - Pneumatic Motor Drive
Powered by a compressed air motor rated at 1.0 kW (1.34 Hp), requiring 1.3 m³/min at 0.6 MPa. The pneumatic version offers non-electric, explosion-safe operation, making it ideal for hazardous environments, such as oil refineries, chemical plants, or remote field jobs where electrical systems are restricted.
Industries and Applications
- Power Generation: Used for on-site weld preparation in thermal, nuclear, and hydro power plants where precision and safety are paramount
- Oil and Gas: Supports offshore and onshore pipeline maintenance, especially in environments requiring cold cutting to avoid sparks and heat
- Petrochemical & Chemical Processing: Ideal for corrosion-resistant alloy (CRA) piping systems and hazardous chemical environments demanding spark-free operations
- Shipbuilding and Marine: Performs critical weld prep in tight spaces, ballast systems, and engine room pipework
- Boiler and Heat Exchanger Maintenance: Internal clamping system makes it highly effective for ID-access in boiler tubes, heat exchangers, and condensers

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Can the ID159 Pipe Beveling Machine handle heavy-wall pipes or exotic alloys?
A: Yes, it can machine up to 20 mm wall thickness and is suitable for carbon steel, stainless steel, and alloy materials. Custom blades are also available for specific metals.
Q2: How does the internal clamping system work and does it ensure pipe concentricity?
A: The expanding mandrel system clamps inside the pipe using interchangeable pads. This ensures accurate centering and vibration-free cutting.
Q3: What bevel angles are supported and are compound bevels possible?
A: Standard tool holders support 0°-45° single-angle bevels. For compound bevels, dual tool holders or custom configurations are available.
Q4: How do I choose between electric and pneumatic drive models?
A: Choose based on your site conditions. Electric motors are ideal for stable power environments; pneumatic drives are preferred in explosive or wet areas.
Q5: What is included in the standard shipping package?
A: Each unit comes with the main machine, drive motor (as ordered), tool kit, instruction manual, and durable transport crate.
