PROTEM
PRODUCTS & EQUIPMENT
Carbide tools are naturally harder than the HSS tool bits with cutting speeds that are four times higher. These carbide tools are used with tubes made of hard steel at higher cutting speeds.
Also, the coating used on tool bits is a standard practice used in machining operations, such as, high speed machining. The coating improves the tool’s performance and can resist high temperatures that are a result of high machining speeds.
PROTEM offers TiN Coating
(titanium nitride) that is specifically made to reduce operational costs because of its greater wear resistance. The TicN Coating (titanium carbonitride) is an extremely hard ceramic material that is specially recommended for materials that are particularly difficult to machine.
8. Versatility to
achieve higher productivity Multi-function, versatile machines are in high demand because of their ability to perform many machining
operations on various components (tubes, elbows, plates, valves) by using a single machine. The reduction in investment
costs for this kind of machine is about a minimum of 30%. The purchaser invests in one machine instead of three. Additionally, there is a reduction in training costs, as the operator will only have to train on one machine. For example, PROTEM beveling
machines (US series) can machine tubes and re-surface flanges by utilizing the flange facing
attachment option. For larger diameters, we offer a special kit that increases machining capacity. For heavy-walled pipes, buying a new machine will not be necessary, the copying carriage option is designed to perform compound bevels for wall thicknesses over 50mm (1.968”). PROTEM also offers high speed
beveling machines (CTA or BB series). They are available with options, such as, an automatic clamping system, tube conveyors, tube storage table and chips conveyors. Any or all of these options will drastically increase your productivity. The versatility of a machine is
very important to any project. Anticipating your future needs will help you to save time and money.
9. Operator training to improve productivity While the use of a PROTEM machine that is durable, light weight, and portable, makes a huge difference in productivity, operators should also be fully trained and understand machining basics, such as, how to achieve a perfect weld. A good understanding means properly knowing the importance of tube preparation before welding. Also, what are the things that should be controlled prior to machining for safety reasons. With its many years of experience and all its expertise PROTEM has developed training
