GBC-NA500 (Longitudinal Taping Machine)

The NA500 longitudinal taping machine was created to precisely meet the specific need for internal taping operations on medium- to large-sized pipes, ensuring consistent, high-quality results.

Featuring impressive production capacity, the machine is designed to handle diameters starting from a minimum of 500 mm.

The heart of the system is a powerful 5kW motor that drives the belt rotation, ensuring high removal rates in rapid times. A dedicated cooling nozzle acts directly on the abrasive to maintain its effectiveness and protect the material.

The NA500 is an electric longitudinal belt-grinding (taping) machine designed for dressing down the longitudinal weld seam from the inside in pipes with an inside diameter greater than 500 mm.

Precision and technological control

The entire manufacturing process is driven by cutting-edge technology that prioritizes precision and safety.

The use of brushless motors allows for complete electronic control of all operating functions, which are performed remotely to ensure the operator can manage each processing phase in maximum safety.

Thanks to PLC control, the electronic tensioner maintains constant and perfectly balanced belt tension throughout the entire cycle.

Despite its advanced automation, the system allows for real-time customization of the work. Using dedicated potentiometers, both the carriage feed speed and belt pressure can be instantly adjusted. This allows the machine’s force to be adapted to the specific needs of the welding bead, even on widths up to 50 mm.

Exclusive advantages in heavy carpentry

The integration of the NA500 longitudinal taping machine into heavy metal fabrication represents an evolutionary leap compared to traditional grinding methods.

The absence of vibrations and cold working eliminate the risk of thermal alterations, preserving the metallurgical properties of the tube.

In addition to production efficiency, the machine radically transforms workplace safety. Remote control and automation eliminate the physical risks associated with prolonged use of manual tools, dramatically reducing the likelihood of injuries such as splinter injuries, tendonitis, or mechanical stress disorders, thus providing a healthier and safer work environment.
