  • Patent number: 4756217
    Abstract: A travelling pipe cut-off is described having a pair of knife-edged rollers mounted on a carriage that also supports a cut-off torch. At least one roller is engaged with the smooth surface of the pipe at all times during cut-off, each such roller advancing the carriage while the pipe is being advanced. The two rollers are spaced apart such that, as the bulge of a pipe seam approaches one of the rollers, that roller is moved out of engagement with the pipe, but the other roller remains in engagement. The carriage and cut-off mechanism is, therefore, advanced only by that roller which is engaged with a smooth surface of the pipe.
