The rugged and powerful CGM-1 Pipe Cold Cutting and Bevel Machine cuts and bevels pipes or shells ranging from 6 to 72 inches (152 – 1826mm) in diameter with a wall thickness of ¼” to 2 5/16” (6 – 60mm) . The CGM-1, available in pneumatic and hydraulic models, can produce almost any type of pipe end configuration imaginable including standard bevels, “J” preps and lands by simply changing the cutting and beveling blades. The machines will cut and bevel any machinable material such as carbon steel, stainless steel, ductile iron, cast iron, and most other alloys without spark or flame. A second cut is not required as the machine bevels both sides of the cut simultaneously.

The Pneumatic driven CGM is designed primarily to cut and bevel thinner wall lower tensile strength pipes, while the hydraulic driven CGM has the brute strength required for the continuous cutting of heavier wall and higher tensile strength pipes. All machines are equipped with blade shut off valve that shuts off air or hydraulic pressure to the blade and drive motor when the blade guard is opened The hydraulic driven CGM has the brute strength required for continuous cutting of heavier wall and higher tensile strength pipes. Hydraulic CGM's closed loop hydraulic system insures proper lubrication to the motors extending the life of the machine. The maintenance free dual hydraulic motors are infinitely adjustable and deliver consistent horsepower to the cutting and beveling blades and drive motor. The Hydraulic model comes with two 10 meter hydraulic hoses with quick disconnects. Hoses can be made any length necessary to meet the customer requirement. The hydraulic driven CGM is the best choice, if noise is a consideration. A special model of the Hydraulic CGM is available for operation at ocean depth up to 130 feet.

The machine is held to the pipe by its tension/drive chain as it crawls around the pipe. The drive chain can be shortened or lengthened to accommodate any pipe or vessel diameter within its range. The CGM Drive System provides positive movement of the machine under all types of conditions for a smooth precise cut. No out-of-round compensation is needed as the machine follows the outside diameter of the pipe producing an even and consistent bevel.

The extremely tough gearbox of the blade drive system is designed to take the heavy sustained cutting loads encountered in continuous operation. To reduce crucial down time, the cutting and beveling blades of the CGM can be rapidly exchanged without removing the machine from the pipe.

CGM-1 comes in a fork lift able steel box with all the service keys and wrenches need for operation.

The Blade Sharpening Machine enables the pneumatic or hydraulic CGM-1 customer to get the maximum utilization of center cutter and right and left beveling blades. The machine enables the customer to sharpen the blades on site reducing blade inventory and down time. The Machine is not difficult to operate, but does require a person with some machinist experience.

The machine will accurately sharpen both the center and beveling blades. The sharpening machine is designed to sharpen each tooth of the center cutter and 30º or 37 1/2º beveling blade to the precise depth and bevel and clearance angle. The Blade Sharpening Machine requires 380 volts AC/3 phase/50/60 Hz.
