Description

This machine makes circular grooves at the end of steel tubes in order to facilitate the assembly
of circular couplings. It is the ideal tool for the construction industry and the piping construction
sector. The grooves are made by a grooving roller which is inserted hydraulically inside the tube
which, at the same time, is supported by a guide screw.
The machine is equipped with two upper rollers and three lathe screws which can machine the
following tubes (refer to table 1 to see the suitable combination of roller and lathe screw to be
used in each case):
from 1" - 11/2" in diameter
from 2" - 6" in diameter
from 8" - 12" in diameter

Preparation of the machine and the working area

Select a working area where:
- there is sufficient light.
- there are no liquids, vapours or dust which could cause fire.
- there is an earth connection connected to ground.
- there is a direct path to the earth connection, free of heat sources, oils, sharp or cutting edges
or mobile parts which could damage the cable.
- there is a dry place for the machine and operator.
- the ground is levelled.
Do not use the machine if positioned over water.
Clean the working area before installing any unit.
Clean any oil.
Position the machine on a flat and even surface.
Ensure that the grooving machine and the tube support are stable.
