Rotating, clamping and tilting in the pipe construction industry

are unnecessary in most cases. It is possible to centre two pipes with the same diameter, and various combinations are possible, eg clamping and driving of a main spindle. Standard pipe rotators are designed to rotate work pieces 360° (forward/stop/ reverse with variable speed control) and forward and backward tilt from horizontal. Rotation and tilting may be performed independently or simultaneously. The tilting section consists of the drive and roller box, holding column, clamping arm, and pressure roller. Manual vertical height adjustment of the clamping roller system is included as standard on all units. Optional extras include directional footpedals and diablo pipe supports. The Kistler U range pipe manipulators are sold exclusively in the UK by YPH Ltd, and are sold with a 12-month manufacturer warranty.

KISTLER pipe rotators are used for clamping, rotating, and tilting pipes in manual and automatic welding, mainly in the field of pipe construction (prefabrication or assembly on site). The ‘U’ range features three machines: U150 (20 to 200mm diameter pipe), U500 (20 to 400mm diameter) and U1000 (25 to 800mm diameter). The pipe rotators with clamping roller system (patented) have advantages over traditional devices. They can be used for pipes with elbows, tee pieces, or other offset loads. A wide range of pipes can be clamped. The infinitely variable rotary speed is not affected by the size of a pipe because of its separate drive unit. Centring is quick and precise, and clamping does not require a chuck or clamping shoe.
