• RMT HAS COME OUT WITH A SAFER, QUICKER, AND EASY TO USE CNC PIPE THREADING MACHINE (Sep 17, 2024)

  What was once—excuse the pun—a pipe dream, now is a reality, thanks to Revolution Machine Tools’ Pipe Spool Master TGB Series machines. A veritable Swiss Army Knife of pipe fitting tools, these machines literally do it all: beveling, boring, centering, chamfering, drilling, facing, grooving, milling, rounding, tapering, tapping, texturing, thread cutting, threading, turning and weld preparation.

  RMT’s Pipe Spool Masters are basically lathes, but unlike any lathes known to metalsmiths of the last century. Instead of rotating the workpiece to facilitate machining, the pipe stays stationary in RMT’s machine and the spindles move left and right along an X-axis while spinning to do all the cutting. The Pipe Spool Masters were already a revolution in pipe beveling, boring and facing, but the introduction of the TGB line—which stands for threading, grooving and beveling—upped the ante with the additional features that make them the only one-stop multipurpose machines of their kind in the industry.

  Advantages of the Pipe Spool Master TGB Series

  Sporting Fanuc i-Series controls with industry standard Gibbs software, these CNC marvels can be programmed to do whatever their operators need done to a particular pipe, whether it be cutting ID or OD threads, grooving for Victaulic-style couplings or beveling ends to prepare pipes for welding.

  Besides the versatility of combining multiple functions in one machine, some of the other advantages that TGB models have over comparable machines include the following.

  • Safety is a huge selling point of the TGB. With a regular lathe, having a 20'-long part that’s spinning at upwards of 800 RPM can be a recipe for disaster if something goes wrong. All Pipe Spool Master machines hold the workpiece immobile while the machine itself does all the work, for a much safer operation.
  • It’s also a much cooler operation, since only the tool is rotating and not the pipe (RMT’s motto for the machine is “Spin the Tool—Keep it Cool”). While not recommended, parts that aren’t that heavy can even be cut without coolant at a slower rate, as shown in RMT’s demo videos.
  • The cost of a TGB machine can be one-fourth to one-third that of a through-spindle lathe.
  • Likewise, the footprint of a TGB is much smaller as well, with through-spindle lathes taking up to eight times the floorspace of RMT’s machines.
  • If needed, the TGB can be easily converted for mobile operations on a jobsite or out in the oil fields. A user can add a generator to the back of a truck and use a self-leveling trailer to transport the machine, making the necessity of sending a pipe off to a machine shop and waiting for them to finish and return it a thing of the past. (In fact, the staff of Revolution Machine Tools has frequently taken a Pipe Spool Master out on the road to give demonstrations to customers.)
  • Unlike a lathe, the Pipe Spool Masters can accommodate pipes of unlimited lengths, with the working end clamped in the machine and the rest supported by a roller table or a crane.
  • Models are available to handle virtually any size pipe that is needed, from 1" in diameter all the way up to 180".
  • Pipe Spool Master machines require very little maintenance on them—routinely changing the oil, greasing the ways and bearings and tensioning the belts keep them running like a charm. (RMT’s service team hasn’t had to fix one in the four years they’ve been selling them.)
  • On a standard lathe, once you pull a pipe off, you can’t rethread it because the orientation will be off. TGB machines have up to 24" of Z-axis back travel. This means that the spindle can be moved back and out of the way so the work can be checked and tested while the pipe is still stationary in the machine. If another 15-thousandths of an inch needs to be taken off, the operator can change the program and take care of it instantly with no difficulty.
  • Pipe Spool Masters are much faster than other machines. One customer who owned a competitor’s beveler and was used to a 12-hour operation time was amazed to see a demonstration of an RMT unit where it performed the identical function in just 15 minutes. (He wrote a check for one on the spot.)
  • Tooling changeovers can be done rapidly and altering a Pipe Spool Master for a different size diameter goes very quickly as well. For a now-defunct competitor’s machine, it required a six-hour teardown to change from a 2" to a 4" diameter. The same change on a Pipe Spool Master takes approximately 10 minutes.
  • Easier to set up and easier to run than competing machines, TGB series machines are also more productive in the fact that workpieces can stay in place to have several different operations performed in rapid succession.

  A Revolutionary Way to Machine and Turn Pipe

  While the classic lathe isn’t going away anytime soon, the Pipe Spool Master TGB Series is rapidly taking its place as the go-to machine to thread, groove, bevel and face pipe. The portability of the machine makes it a must-have in the oil and gas industry, and their affordability makes purchasing one a no-brainer for anyone considering a comparable-sized through-spindle lathe to do the identical functions.

  Regardless of the industry or application, Pipe Spool Masters have completely revolutionized the field of pipe fitting in the modern world.

• RMT HAS CHOSEN TO OFFER DROPSA SYSTEM BECAUSE OF THEIR PROVEN TRACK RECORD (Sep 17, 2024)

  Getting the Drop on Lubrication

  “I was a little nervous about DropsA at first,” said a customer of Revolution Machine Tools who had recently obtained a new bandsaw from them. After his team had put in over 80 hours on the machine in the first week, however, he had no complaints about the optional DropsA air/oil clean lubrication system that RMT had recommended. “It is fantastic. We don’t have water stains on the floor—we don’t get that anymore.” He added that it is a “very clean unit, it keeps the blade cool, it keeps my material clean.” (Bryce Fab testimonial video for the RMT S-ECO PDM 10-14 double miter bandsaw.)

  Coming in at only a few hundred dollars more than a basic micro mist cooling mechanism, the DropsA air/oil lubrication system is a popular add-on for bandsaw and cold saw customers of Revolution Machine Tools, who offers it as an option with every model.

  That’s a Slick Idea

  For as long as there have been machines with moving parts, machine operators have had to contend with friction, which is the resistance that two surfaces create when they move against each other. While friction has its uses—such as giving the soles of shoes traction while a person is walking—it generally plays havoc with mechanisms where touching parts must move in relation to each other.

  Thousands of years ago, ancient civilizations discovered that friction could be reduced to a great extent by the application of water, powdered minerals, oil from olives or other plant matter, and grease created by rendering or melting animal fats. It was only in the last couple of hundred years that refined and unrefined petroleum-based products began to be used as industrial lubricants.

  In addition to reducing friction and wear between moving parts, lubrication can also help to cool the parts, as friction between fast-moving surfaces can also generate considerable heat. This is especially true in the case of saws and drills which are sharp tools moving at rapid speeds to chip away at the relatively softer material of the workpieces. Because of this, machine lubricant is sometimes called coolant and more often just “cutting fluid” for its multifunction use of lubricating, cooling, and washing away swarf, or the chips that come off the material.

  Cutting fluids, which can also contain rust inhibitors, are often an oil-water emulsion—a mixture your high school science teacher likely said was impossible—which is added by the customer to a specified amount of water before being poured into a saw reservoir, where it is stored until it is sprayed on the blade. A downside of cutting fluid is the potential for hazardous mess, with excess flood spray coming off the saw blade and splattering on the shop floor, on employees, and within the work environment, the potential for workplace accidents, employee health issues (respiratory and skin irritants), and shop cleanliness can all become a cause for concern.

  Who Is DropsA?

  Founded in Milan, Italy, in 1946, DropsA began developing lubrication products for different industries. One of their earliest clients was International Business Machines (IBM), who needed oil lubrication systems for their printing equipment. Four years later, DropsA added grease lubrication systems to their offerings and took the lead in developing the new technology of Dual Line systems.

  The Dual Line centralized delivery system uses two main lubrication lines that run in parallel through an entire system: a delivery supply line that fires the lubrication point injectors and a return line that vents back to the reservoir. Dual Line systems can accurately deliver oil or grease over great distances from a single pumping station to up to several hundred points, if needed, with points easily being able to be added or removed from the system following the original installation.

  In the 1970s, DropsA pioneered the concept of a modular lubrication system, which can be readily customized to suit the specific needs of a business. In 1995, DropsA was also the first lubrication company in Italy to be accredited with ISO 9001:2000, a quality management system (QMS) certification program established by The International Organization for Standardization.

  DropsA has become a world leader in the manufacturing and development of lubrication systems, expanding from more basic oil and grease systems to innovations like recirculating oil lubrication systems, air/oil lubrication systems, and “near dry machining,” where a minimal quantity of oil is carried to the lubrication point in an aerosol format via a controlled compressed air stream.

  Why Use an Air/Oil Lubrication System?

  
  A hybrid air/oil system, like the one developed by DropsA, is comprised of a continuously flowing stream of air that cools lubrication points while also conveying small droplets of oil that are injected into it at regular intervals. The oil coats the surfaces at each lubrication point to reduce friction and wear. High-speed components such as bandsaw blades require specialized lubrication solutions like an air/oil system which can deliver precise amounts of the air/oil mixture where needed.

  The low-cost air/oil system from DropsA offers several advantages over traditional lubrication methods, including:

  • An incredibly compact design
  • A modular system for easy maintenance and customization
  • A simple interface
  • Fully integrated monitoring
  • Integrated or remote-cycle control
  • The ability to accommodate higher speeds
  • The ability to keep bearings cooler
  • A volumetric approach that assures the exact amount of lubrication reaches each point
  • A dramatic decrease in the amount of lubricant necessary for optimal efficiency
  • A continuous investment by the company in research and development
  • Virtually NO mess or cleanup required on your cut parts
  • No drips or slips around your shop floor
  • Much longer blade life, especially for Carbide as regular coolant causes thermal cracking

  Don’t Drop the Ball with Your Next Saw

  Machine buyers, from managers of large factories to owners of one-man fab shops, want to get the most out of any piece of metalworking equipment they acquire. Revolution Machine Tools understands this and offers the very best components as standard or optional equipment with every machine that they sell.
