SPECIFICATIONS

DRIVE OPTIONS

The ID159 Pipe Beveling Machine is available with multiple drive configurations—electric and pneumatic—to meet the diverse demands of various industrial settings. Whether the application requires dependable electric performance or safe operation in volatile environments, the ID159 provides the right solution.

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 – Bosch Electric Motor Drive

Driven by a 1.0 kW (1.34 Hp) Bosch 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.
