  • Patent number: 9486868
    Abstract: A device for adjusting cutting depth for the removal of weld beads inside profile sections such as tubes and the like, comprising a supporting frame (1) of an elongated shape and transverse dimensions suitable for enabling it to be contained inside a profile section or tube (2), the supporting frame (1) being associated, at one end thereof, with an arm or external rod, the device being characterized in that it comprises: —a plurality of rolling elements (3) associated with the supporting frame (1) at a pre-established mutual distance in a longitudinal direction and that partially project out from the body of the same supporting frame and are capable of coming into contact with the inner surface of the profile section or tube (2) in a zone that is diametrically opposite the one whereon the internal weld bead (4) lies; —at least two rollers (5), which are idle, arranged longitudinally at a pre-established distance from each other, and mounted on small frames (6) that are movable in transverse directions with re

  • Patent number: 9434012
    Abstract: A cutting-off machine, comprising a cutting unit (2) being enabled to receive a tube (100) and to cut the tube (100) according to a plane transversal to a longitudinal axis (X) of the tube (100), movement means (8) enabled to grip stably a length (S) of cut tube (100) and move said length (S) away from the cutting unit (2) along a direction of advance (A) of the tube (100), and a cutting-off device (5) interposed between said cutting unit (2) and said movement means (8) and configured to realise cutting off of an inner welding seam (200) floating inside said tube (100).

  • Publication number: 20160221093
    Abstract: A cut-off machine comprising: an electric motor (2) arranged for rotatingly driving a cutting tool (10); a transmission (4) which is so structured as to transmit the rotary motion of the motor (2) to the cutting tool; a control module comprising an inverter, designed to allow adjustment of the rotational speed of the motor (2). The motor (2) is so structured as to impart, to the cutting tool, a first rotational speed suitable for performing a heating and friction-based cutoff of the material to be cut; the transmission (4) is provided with an at least two-speeds gearbox, which is so configured as to vary the speed transmitted to the tool between the first speed and second speed, the latter being lower than the first speed and suitable for performing a material removal cutoff (slow-speed saw cutoff).

  • Patent number: 7490391
    Abstract: The bead trimmer is preferably applied in a production line for elements having longitudinal weld beads (21), where an element slides along a parallel direction to a longitudinal axis thereof (x), and comprises a tool-bearing turret (2) for removable fixing of a trimming tool (30), associated to a first slide (3) which is slidable along a horizontal direction (y) which is transversal with respect to the longitudinal axis (x) between an internal position, in which the tool (30) is aligned with the weld bead (21), and an external position, in which the tool (30) is not aligned with the weld bead (21). The first slide (3) is associated to a second slide (4) which is vertically slidable on a bearing structure (40) along a vertical direction (z) between a lowered position, in which the tool (30) is in contact with the weld bead (21), and a raised position, in which the tool (30) is distanced from the weld bead (21).

  • Publication number: 20060072973
    Abstract: The bead-trimmer with a shaving breaker device includes a support (2) having at an end thereof a through-hole (3) which bears, on an entrance edge thereof a cutting element (4) arranged and conformed to remove, during a cutting motion, an external weld bead (20) and to direct a resulting shaving (21) through the through-hole (3), the through-hole (3) bearing, in proximity of an exit edge thereof, elements for chopping (5) the shaving, predisposed to fragment the shaving coming from the through-hole (3).
