Esco Tool of Holliston, Massachusetts, has introduced a new clamshell split-frame machine for beveling and end prepping tube and pipe. The machine features a new indexable module with a double-edge insert bit.
The Esco COHOG® Split-Frame Machine features a new module that mounts to the tool slide and holds a pre-angled bit of 30 °, 37-1/2 °, or custom angles that are easy to change. It also uses double-edge insert bits, which are also easily changed. This clamshell machine has a robust stationary ring machined from 7075 aluminum alloy that is hard coated and supports a custom steel forged, heat-treated, and nickel-plated rotating ring.
Available with pneumatic, electric, or hydraulic power, the Esco COHOG® Split-Frame Machine has indexable tooling with slides and trip mechanisms and a marked locating system. It provides vibration-free operation, can be precisely aligned and quickly attached without shims or guesswork, and the rotating ring is supported by precision-tuned eccentric bearings.
The Esco COHOG® Split-Frame Machines are available for sale and rent.
