PORTABLE CLAMSHELL LATHES

With their star performer, Mactech has combined modular convenience and strength in an extremely precise portable lathe solution for on-site machining, cutting and beveling of pipes at any location.

 

Mactech’s cold cutting Clamshell Lathes (also known as split frame cutters) will handle all pipe sizes with an OD from 2” to 110”, all pipe schedules and all pipe materials.

 

 

Designed with in-line closed loop pipe and tight situation issues in mind, the Mactech Clamshell Lathes require only minimal radial and axial clearances.

 

Clamshell portable lathes are available in three standard types:

  • LC (low clearance)
  • USS (low clearance and additional strength & thickness)
  • WD (worm drive system)


Each type offers several sizes and can be made to any custom specification.

Please see below to review the specifications.

 

Though the Clamshell Lathes' primary jobs are pipe cutting, pipe beveling and flange facing, they can also be configured for counterboring, single point machining and weld removal.

 

 
 

   

 

Power for the Clamshell Lathes can be driven either pnuematically or hydraulically. The standard configuration is an in-line drive assembly and the power type chosen - either air or hydraulic. Right angle and reversible configurations for air or hydraulic systems are also available.

 

The Clamshell Lathe diagrams below show the the variation of an in-line pnuematic drive assembly on the left and a hydraulic drive assembly on the right.

 

Each Mactech Clamshell Lathe comes complete with:
• Pnuematic or Hydraulic Drive Assembly
• Air Caddy (lubricator and filter)
• Complete set of Tool Blocks & Slides
• Locator Pad set to cover entire machining diameter range
• All required hand tools
• Gang Box for machine storage
• Operating Manual

 

Special Options:
• Hydraulic Power Supply 10 or 20 hp
