Normaco LW CC – Portable Split frame machines for pipe cold cutting and beveling for pipes from 2" to 48".
Extremely strong and reliable clamshell type machine that is easily portable. LW CC features split frame design that makes it quick to mount on in-line pipes. It has been developed for the demanding Norwegian offshore market where the machines have been running for over 20 years.
Normaco LW Cold Cutter can be supplied either with pneumatic, hydraulic or electric drive. All motors are designed to power the machine efficiently, smoothly and with high torque.
Due to the low machining speed and pneumatic motor, cutting is done as “cold-work” without sparking. Additionally, there remains no heat affected zone on the cutting area.
LW CC has excellent stability and performance even when cutting materials such as Inconel, stainless, and other high-alloy steels. There is virtually no limit on the thickness of the pipe.
Each machine is equipped with clamping feet for the specified range. Dedicated feet for each pipe size with solid construction bring superior stability compared to telescopic or stackable clamping solutions.
LW CC Key benefits;
- Solid locators
- Modular design
- Rigid double bearing arrangement
- Tool mounting flexible to allow many kinds of tools to be used
- Safety feeding system that keeps operators hands away from the danger zone
- Rigid frame construction
- Light aluminium body
- Only 4 keys needed to operate the machine
- Selection of powerful drives for every occasion
- Air safety device for operators safety
As all Normaco products, LW CC is European made quality product .
