Plumbing Applications
Pipe Couplings
Multi-station rotary transfer reaming and tapping machine- Controlled by 8-axis PC-Based CNC system
Six station machine processes ½” though 2” couplings from tubing, including auto load with dual tubing feeder and cut-off saw; ream, face and chamfer; and tap.
Valves
Kaufman flexible CNC multi-station rotary transfer manufacturing system- Controlled by 27-axis ball screw CNC with B-axis pallets
Cast iron, brass and stainless steel butterfly valve bodies ranging from 2” to 6” diameter are machined on a six-station system. Bodies are precision drilled, tapped, seated, back chamfered, and finished bored using CNC U-axis controlled crossfeed head.
Pipe Fittings
- Multi-station rotary transfer drilling and tapping machine
- Controlled by CNC and enhanced diagnostic system
Union nuts, couplings and high-pressure welded fitting are machined in sizes ranging from 1/2”-14 NPT and 3-1/2” – 10 NPT at rates up to 1,350 parts per hour on the 1/2” fittings.
