Long Seam Milling Machines
Features
- Milling instead of gouging or grinding: usability studies show cost benefits of more than 50 percent.
- Underground design (GLF): milling in the 6 o'clock position, 45 and 55 kW, depths to 150 mm, outside diameter 406-15,000 mm, pipe weight up to 150 t.
- Overground design (GLF-O): lateral milling in the 4 o'clock position, 55 and 75 kW, depths to 100 mm, outside diameter 2,000-15,000 mm.
- Milling speed of up to 1,200 mm per minute.
- Precise seam tracking at the control screen thanks to an integrated camera.
- An intelligent copying system holds the seam depth constant even where the pipe supports are uneven.
- The Graebener® turning device positions cones and cylinders up to 15 m in diameter without a crane.
