Pipe-End Finishing
The Arcon nameplate stands for excellence in rotary cut-off and end-facing equipment. With their extensive design expertise, Arcon can provide advantages in facing, deburring and end profiling for a wide range of seamless and welded tube mills. Their global installations have given them the experience necessary to compete regardless of customer specifications. Arcon focuses on providing the right machine and control system for each customer's requirements and places an emphasis on both flexibility and design excellence.
While most end-facing operations utilise a single head machine, Arcon introduced a twin-head machine for improved speed and productivity to keep up with today's high-speed production lines. Arcon also offers a cut-off capable of cutting a broad range of sizes in pipe, casing, tubing, roller bearing and coupling stock saving valuable floor space, while also able to end chamfer and machine the outside and inside diameters.
ADVANTAGES OF ARCON PIPE-END FINISHING
