SPC 1500 – 4000 PT

Process:

Oxyfuel, Plasma

Profile:

pipeboxbeamprofilevessel-head

Product Description

Built to handle large pipe diameters and heavy weights, the SPC 1500 – 4000 PT is your ultimate heavy-duty solution. Every aspect of this machine is designed to guarantee extreme tolerances during cutting. It processes pipes with either plasma or oxy-fuel, up to 4000 mm (160”) in diameter, and accommodates a wide range of part lengths and profiling shapes. This allows you to cut extreme wall thicknesses with a cutting angle of up to 70 degrees.

Product features

Engineered for heavy duty work.

Designed to handle large pipe diameters up to 4,000 mm (160") and support a maximum weight capacity of 60 tons, making it ideal for heavy-duty applications.

Unmatched 3D Pipe cutting capabilities.

Including hillside holes, reinforcement pads and X- and K-weld preparations with transition zones.

Automated compensation for pipe deviations.

Accurate cutting is achieved by using sensor arms positioned near the cutting process to maintain the preset distance between the torch and the material.

Tapered Slot Hole

The SPC-series machines support many different designs of gusset plate connections and weld preparations.

Saddle shapes with advanced beveling for offshore

The SPC-series machines support advanced beveling with a combination of weld types and transition zones.

Crossing Saddle

A saddle shape to connect two crossing pipes, often used in jacket structures.

Production Flexibility

This machine type allows a big range of diameter and wall thicknesses offering you flexibility in production.

Cut with Oxyfuel

Oxyfuel cutting is a reliable, accurate and competitive cutting technique used for the cutting of mild steel. The very first HGG pipe profiling machines, made back in 1984, were equipped with oxyfuel cutting equipment. 

Cutting heavy walled pipes with oxyfuel can be a challenging job. And you want to avoid making mistakes during the cutting of these expensive pipes. We developed a gas control system which creates the correct gas mixture based on material and wall thickness. Hot or cold, rusty or clean material, requires different cutting settings. For fine tuning the operator can overrule the gas presets by the dials on the machine interface.

Including pierce assist cutting to get the piercing right each time

The pierce assist function guides the operator to achieve the best combination of torch position, gas mixture and pressure of the pre-heater and the cutting oxygen. 

When thick-walled material is pre-heated for too long, the input of oxygen will cause a lot of spatters and create a large crater with an excess of liquid slag. This spatter will stick to the nozzle and negatively affect the gas flow and thus cutting process.

Insufficient pre-heating will mean that the full wall thickness has not reached the ignition temperature to maintain the exothermic process. The process will stop halfway, and the operator will have to try again at another starting point resulting in damage to the part and will cause more time spent on grinding and welding.

or with Plasma

HGG has distinguished itself as a pioneer in CNC plasma cutting. Since 1994, HGG has supplied over 500 3D profiling machines with plasma cutting technology worldwide and keeps innovating with plasma cutting technology to stay on top of the latest developments.

HGG offers unique features that further improve the quality of plasma cutting by compensating for plasma characteristics and/or prolonging consumable lifetime.

We support both Kjellberg and Hypertherm plasma sources. Two well experienced and industry leading choices.

With Angled Piercing technology to protect your plasma consumables

Plasma consumables can become costly if you need to replace them regularly. The angled piercing routine keeps the nozzle and other consumables out of harm’s way, saving you time and money.

Top-of-Class Pipe Cutting Quality Provided by 5 CNC Axes​​

HGG’s pipe cutting machines achieve precision through five key movements. The combination of all axis ensures top of class cutting quality.

The main drive rotation (1) ensures accurate pipe rotation by securely clamping the pipe to prevent slipping. The longitudinal cutting trolley (2) travels along the entire length of the main frame, enabling precise cuts. The biaxial cutting head (3) rotates to align the cutting torch with the virtual cutting path, and its pitch movements (4) angle the torch to create beveled cuts. Additionally, the cutting head’s height adjustment (5) allows the machine to accommodate pipes of varying diameters while maintaining the correct torch-to-material distance.

Optionally a sixth movement can be added. This transversal movement of the cutting head makes holecutting without pipe rotation, otherwise known as PerfectHole™ technology, possible.

Achieve ultimate precision with our patented biaxial cutting head

The patented biaxial cutting head puts HGG pipe cutting machines in a league of their own. The cutting head, which moves up and down, rotates around its axis, and tilts the cutting torch into the correct position, provides unmatched pipe cutting accuracy. The rotational and pitching movements of the biaxial cutting head, together with the longitudinal movement of the cutting trolley and the height adjustment of the cutting head, provide all the necessary directions for outstanding 3D profiling.

Eliminate Material waste with jaws suited to your needs

The chuck and jaw mounts, designed by HGG, are milled from a solid block of steel, ensuring high material consistency and strength. This contributes to excellent accuracy.

Standard Jaws

Standard Jaws

The hole through the center of the chuck allows for cutting on both sides of the main drive, depending on the chuck’s maximum hole diameter. The ‘Standard Jaws’ are ideal for this purpose.

Long Jaws

Long Jaws

The ‘Long Jaws’ cut on the front side of the main drive, saving scrap length, while ‘Standard Jaws’ require extra pipe length to avoid collisions with the main drive. ‘Long Jaws’ solve this by clamping the pipe further from the main drive.

Zero scrap Jaws

Zero Scrap Jaws

‘Zero Scrap Jaws’ eliminate the need for extra material. These jaws, protected by copper plates, are perfect for cutting straight chamfers with both X/K bevels and single cuts.
