Band Crawler Cutting & Beveling Machine

The ideal solution for cutting and beveling in close quarters, the Band Crawler requires as little as 10″ / 254 mm of clearance around the pipe. Install the stainless steel band anywhere on the pipe, and it conforms to the pipe shape, producing a consistent, precise bevel, even on severely out-of-round pipe.

The lightweight Band Crawler can be quickly set up and operated by one person on a pipe as large as 60″ / 1,524 mm. Bands 48″ / 1,219 mm and larger feature a standard stiffening rib, which simplifies one-person set-up.

  • Precise: Band conforms precisely to the out-of-round condition of the pipe to maintain consistent cutting tip distance from pipe surface
  • Simple: One person can set up and cut horizontal or vertical pipes as large as 48″ / 1,219 mm
  • Low profile: Requires as little as 10.5″ / 267 mm of radial clearance
  • One size fits all: One Band Crawler fits all band sizes
  • Fast: 60% faster than hand cutting and grinding
  • Motorized: Available with PLASMASPEED digital motor control

TORCH ANGLE HEAD ADAPTOR: Allows the torch tip to be adjusted for any angle from a square cut (no bevel) to a bevel angle up to 90 degrees while also allowing torch lead or lag angle adjustment.

RIGHT ANGLE DRIVE ADAPTOR: Permits the flexible drive cable to pivot 180 degrees on the end of the band crawler, lowering the profile of the crawler to 6″ / 168.2 mm.

PLASMASPEED: The motorized PLASMASPEED band crawler can increase cutting and beveling efficiency of large diameter pipes up to 60% and is the quickest and easiest cutting tool to set up on vertical pipe.

DRIVE CABLE: Enables the motorized band crawler to be retrofitted to manual operation. Available in 9′ / 2.7 m and 14′ / 4.3 m lengths.

RACK ADJUSTABLE TORCH ARM: Allows both horizontal and vertical adjustment of the torch in relation to the pipe surface.

DOUBLE TORCH ARM: Makes two cuts and bevels simultaneously, reducing cutting time and labor.
