Complete solutions from Axxair AFTER 10 years of technical development and commercial strategy Axxair is now recognised as a key player in the orbital cutting, bevelling and welding machine world. The Global Process Axxair is the most complete solution on the market for preparation and manufacturing facilities

piping workshop or on site, largely present in the pharmaceutical markets, food processing, semiconductor, solar, petrochemical and chemical industries. The innovating character residing in the principle of interchangeability of the various tools. Cutting: the widest range of orbital cutting machines for tubes from Ø 5mm up to Ø 1,100mm with 0.5mm up to 15mm wall thickness. Bevelling: precise and quick bevelling machines (cycle time 10 times quicker than traditional bevelling), thanks to a new motor design using carbide inserts (patented process). Tubes from Ø 17.1 up to Ø 323.9mm diameter with a wall thickness from 1 up to 8mm, to be fully

compatible with the orbital welding Axxair has launched the carbide "J" bevel head. This head combined with an outside tracking system offers very high quality preps for orbital welding. As part of its strategy of innovation and product differentiation, the R&D department of Axxair regularly develops new products, and has recently made a new design for cutting and bevelling machines, and will be able to design as well special machines with customer specifications. Axxair launched two years ago the service department to provide more value to its customers and
