To provide a pipe cutting machine capable of cutting a pipe even of a large diameter efficiently in a short period of time, and achieving excellent economical efficiency and excellent durability with a simple, compact, and light-weight configuration.

A pipe cutting machine cuts a pipe 10 at a right angle to the center line of the pipe 10. The pipe cutting machine comprises: rotary blades 20, 20 in a pair, with a plane at a right angle to the center line of the pipe 10 to be cut defined as an x-y plane and the center of the pipe 10 defined as a coordinate origin, the rotary blades being arranged to face each other on both sides of a y axis in such a manner that blade edges of the rotary blades 20, 20 overlap each other in the direction of an x axis; a straightforward driving mechanism 50 that drives the rotary blades 20, 20 in a pair straightforward in opposite directions of a y-axis direction so as to make the rotary blades 20, 20 in a pair pass each other on the x axis and in the vicinity of the x axis; and a power direction conversion mechanism 46 and a power direction conversion mechanism 47 that change part of straightforward driving force in the y-axis direction to force in the x-axis direction and move the rotary blades 20, 20 in a pair outwardly to get farther from the y axis for avoiding interference between the blade edges when the rotary blades 20, 20 in a pair pass each other on the x axis and in the vicinity of the x axis.

A pipe milling machine for separating and/or cutting a pipe to length includes a drive unit configured to generate a feed force to the pipe and a holding device configured to hold the pipe. The holding device is mountable around the pipe, the drive unit engages in or touches down on the holding device, the feed force is transferred to the holding device in a location, which contacts the pipe or which is adjacent to a location which contacts the pipe, and/or the drive unit is guided by the holding device.

A cutting tool to cut a hollow vessel includes a conical member, a plurality of grooves, and a plurality of cutting members. The plurality of grooves are disposed in a semi-helix around an outer conical surface of the conical member. Each of the plurality of cutting members is disposed in fixed position within one of the plurality of grooves at a non-zero angle relative to a vertical axis.

A powered cutting tool for cutting tubular or cylindrical workpieces such as pipe is described. The cutting tool includes a base, an electric motor, a collection of rollers, a frame, a feedscrew, an auto cut wheel system, and a handle for rotating the feedscrew and adjusting the position of the auto cut wheel system relative to the rollers. In certain versions, the cutting tool includes torque-limiting provisions, to limit the amount of torque applied to the feedscrew. In certain versions, the cutting tool includes rollers and press wheels featuring non-metal outer surfaces.

The invention relates to a sawing machine with a saw shaft (2) on which a saw blade (3) is mounted, characterised by torsional vibration damping with a damping mass (7) which is arranged next to the saw blade (3) on the saw shaft (2) and completely surrounds the saw shaft (2) in a cross-section, and the damping mass (7) is separated from the saw shaft (2) by a gap (11) and arranged with a clearance on the saw shaft (2), and the gap (11) between the damping mass (7) and the saw shaft (2) is filled with a fluid.

According to an aspect of the present disclosure, a low profile travelling pipe cutter is provided which is adapted to perform at least one of cutting and beveling a hollow vessel while traveling around the vessel using a cutting tool mounted thereon. The pipe cutter includes inner and outer carriages, a capstan assembly attached to the outer carriage to which a feed cable is attached, and rollers attached to the outer carriage to which a tension cable is attached. The force adjustment assembly changes the vertical position of the outer carriage relative to the inner carriage to compensate for the pipe cutter going inwardly and outwardly as it travels around a hollow vessel in order to maintain constant pressure caused by the lever tension interface. A guard assembly is provided for covering and uncovering the cutting tool during cutting.

A steel tower for a wind turbine, including a plurality of cylindrical and/or conical tower sections arranged one above another in a tower lengthwise direction which are joined together via horizontally running annular flanges, at least one tower section having at least two section pieces, which are welded together along their adjacent, horizontal and annular end faces and are welded to a horizontal annular flange along each of the free uppermost and lowermost end face, and the at least one tower section being divided into a plurality of section segments which are joined together by longitudinal profiles and connecting means to form a circumferential tower section. At least one of the annular flanges has at least two separation sections in which the annular flange is divided into annular flange segments. The at least one annular flange forms a monolithic annular flange prior to a severing of the section segments.

A machining device for machining the lateral surface of an approximately cylindrical object in portions thereof includes a chain for annularly surrounding the object to be machined. The chain consists of at least two hingedly connectable chain links, one of which is a tool holder having at least one tool for machining the lateral surface. The device also includes support rollers for rolling on the lateral surface. The at least one other chain link is a chain connecting link. The chain links are connectable in such a way that they form a closed chain ring around the object to be machined. The machining device further includes a feed adjuster capable of reversibly adjusting an axial position of facing ends of two chain links parallel to the axis of the closed chain ring relative to each other.
