be welded together at an angle of 90°, ALMI’s pipe notching machines ensure that the correct slot is cut quickly and accurately. The pipe is placed in a rotatable clamp, which is mounted on a compound rest/carriage, enabling the grinding of a diameter to the required angle. The benefits of grinding instead of milling include cost-savings, and an easier, shorter process. Unlike punch-cutting machines, which use separate auxiliary tools, ALMI pipe notchers are ready for work immediately. The machines are also suitable for making double corner joints, and the range includes a notcher for sink outflow.

Universal pipe notching machines

ALMI Machinefabriek, Netherlands, has developed a series of manually operated and electrically driven machines for the notching of pipes. The machines are suitable for use with a variety of pipe, including stainless steel, non-ferrous, gas pipes and steam pipes. The quality of a welded tube construction depends largely upon the right preparation. For applications where pipes need to
