Travel CutterFeatures

■ Horizontal and vertical cutting
The Travel Cutter will operate on horizontal or vertical pipe, in the field or in the shop.

■ Safe, Cold Cutting
Bohyar’s Travel Cutter can be used in explosive conditions, on natural gas, crude, product and fuel lines.

■ Fast, Reliable
A standard wall pipe can be cut and beveled with a cutting speed of approximately 2 minutes per 1'' of pipe diameter. Cutting time varies for heavier walls and harder alloys.

■ Corrosion resistance
Use stainless steel screws, special bearings, seals and zinc layer including attachment prevents corrosion due to the long-term job in brine that may arise.

Travel Cutter Technical Parameters

Tools

■ We have standard beveling tools of 30°, 37° and also can customize the tools.

Travel Cutter Operating Instructions

■ Connect the hydraulic hose to the valve block on the Travel Cutter.

■ With the hydraulic supply turned on the machine is ready to cut the pipe. Turn the valve handle on cutter valve 90° to the right. This will make the cutter spindle motor in operation and rotate the cutter.

■ Slowly feed the rotating cutter down until it extends through the wall of the pipe by approximately 14mm(A maximum single cutting depth is 14mm and it will affect the use efficiency if exceeding 14mm) This is done by turning the feed screw in a clockwise direction. One complete turn of the feed screw lowers the cutter 4mm. Lock the cutter in position by placing the feed screw lock on the shoulder of the feed screw and lock in place with the thumb screw.

■ Turn valve handle on feed valve 45° to the right. This will operate the drive motor and make the machine travel around the pipe for a complete cut. Speed may be reduced by adjustment of the feed valve handle (close slowly until proper speed is attained). Machine is traveling too fast if wheel to right of cutter lifts off pipe or if machine is vibrating excessively.

■ When the cut is completed, stop the drive motor by turning feed valve to the left until machine stops. With the cutter still rotating release the elevating screw lock and raise the valve to the left 90°. Remove the cutter from the machine. Release the tension on the drive chain by turning the chain tension screw counter clockwise. Remove the connecting pins from the chain to uncouple it and the machine can be removed from the pipe.

Travel Cutter Safety Instructions

■ Provide adequate lighting to use the equipment, in accordance with worksite or local regulations.

■ Keep work area clear. Keep all clutter and nonessential materials out of the work area. Only people directly involved with the work being performed should have access to the area.

■ Make sure the equipment is stable when attached to the work piece for the operation. Ensuring stability of the installed tool is the responsibility of the operator.
