High-pressure (up to 150 bar), properly directed
nozzles enhance the life of the inserts and help
control the threading chips. Dedicated adjustable
flushing nozzles directly mounted onto the toolbars
make it possible to remove the threading chips from
the coupling efficiently at the end of each threading
pass. A very smooth toolbar design eliminates
manual intervention by the operator.
Further advantages of the PcTM design in terms
of competitiveness are fewer rejected pieces with
a high-precision machine capable of producing
finished couplings with a tight range of dimensional
tolerances required for high-end applications, less
manpower, lower maintenance, reduced spare parts
and tooling inventory.
Customers interested in viewing the PcTM-13
machine in operation and in testing their premium
connections are welcome to visit the workshop in
Brescia, Italy.
We are already working on variants, improvements
and customizations of the PcTM design while our
technical team is developing a new 4-axis rotating
tube threading machine complete with threading
table.
Our mission in this challenging market is to support
our customers in accomplishing their goals, which
are high profitability and reduced investments. The
PcTM-13 premium coupling-threading machine is
designed for and achieves these targets.
.
PcTM-13 machine highlights:
> OD range from 4”1/2 to 13”3/8
> premium, semi-premium, API and GOST threading
> central drive spindle
> simultaneous machining of the two coupling ends
> hydraulic headstock with 2 clamping planes
> automatic loading and unloading manipulators
PcTM-13 productivity:
At Danieli W+K, we consider the PcTM-13 an
important step forward in the development of our
threading technology. However, we also acknowledge
that only our end users can suggest how to push the
performance of our new machine to its limit.
