Disclosed herein is a machine for cutting nozzles of reactor vessels. The machine for cutting nozzles of reactor vessels comprises a cutting unit positioned at an upper surface edge of a reactor vessel having a nozzle and having a saw blade part having different contact areas to cut the nozzle, a drive unit providing the saw blade part with rotary power, and a foreign substance suction unit provided at one end of the cutting unit in contiguity with the saw blade part to suck foreign substances generated when the nozzle is cut by the saw blade part, wherein the foreign substance suction unit sucks the foreign substances by approaching an outer peripheral surface of the nozzle when the saw blade part moves in a cutting direction of the nozzle.

An improved method and apparatus is provided for underwater salvage of a pipeline, pipe section, pipe, tubular, elongated object, riser, beam or the like. A specially configured tool both grips and cuts the pipe (or object) at a selected locale.

A cutting apparatus and the method of operating same is provided. The apparatus includes a feed tower assembly configured to be attached to an object and a frame assembly movably attached thereto. The frame assembly has arm assemblies thereon which accept a cutting member. At least one arm assembly can be pivoted relative to the other arm assembly and relative to the feed tower assembly. One arm assembly can further be moved relative to the other arm assembly and relative to the feed tower assembly in a vertical direction.

A cutting apparatus and the method of operating same is provided. The apparatus includes a feed tower assembly configured to be attached to an object and a frame assembly movably attached thereto. The frame assembly has arm assemblies thereon which accept a cutting member. A liquid spray system is provided for cooling components of the cutting apparatus.

In order to respond flexibly to various processing modes, such as forming curved surface shapes, when cutting a workpiece using a wire saw, this wire saw device (1) is provided with: a single robot arm (2) that is capable of moving freely by means of multi-axis control; a wire saw unit (3) that is detachably connected to the robot arm (2) via a tool changer (7); a wire (8) that spans a plurality of pulleys supported within the wire saw unit (3); and a workpiece cutting zone (20) that is established between the pulleys. The workpiece is cut to a prescribed shape by moving the robot arm (2) in a preset direction while running the wire (8) of the wire saw unit (3) and pressing the wire (8) against the supported workpiece.

A wire (12) is wound around multiple processing rollers (11) several times. A holding mechanism (13) and a depressing mechanism (25) are provided above an area where the wire (12) is wound. The holding mechanism (13) holds a workpiece (W) elastically and laterally. The depressing mechanism (25) depresses the workpiece (W) held by the holding mechanism (13) toward the wire (12).

This process for manufacturing a closed loop of cutting wire comprises manufacturing a cutting wire comprising a central core extending continuously between two free ends. The central core having a tensile strength higher than 1400 MPa. The process includes welding the two free ends together to form the closed loop of cutting wire, in which: the manufacture of the cutting wire comprises making the central core from a material that is solid-state weldable. The welding is a solid-state welding operation comprising crushing, at a temperature below the melting point of the material of the central core, one of the free ends against the other of its free ends until the two ends have interpenetrated and formed a single uniform body of material.

This wire saw machine having a dust collecting apparatus comprises a main roller for moving a wire by rotation; a first pulley system including a first upper dust collecting roller, a first lower dust collecting roller, and a first support roller; a second pulley system including a second upper dust collecting roller, a second lower dust collecting roller, and a second support roller; and a dust collecting unit which is provided under the first pulley system and the second pulley system to collect foreign substances that escape from the first pulley system and the second pulley system.

The present invention relates to a wire cutting system and method for subsea cutting of large structures (6). The system includes two feeding towers (2) with feeding tower first ends secured into a seabed floor. A crossbeam (1) is located between the two feeding towers (2). Wire feeding trolleys (8) are connected to the feeding towers (2), whereby the wire feeding trolleys (8) are allowed to move a cutting distance along the feeding towers. A cutting wire (4) traverses between the wire feeding trolleys.

The present disclosure relates to a severing device for mechanically severing metal-containing 3D objects from a base plate of a 3D printing apparatus. According to the present disclosure, the severing device has at least one first machining unit firmly connectable to the 3D printing apparatus with at least one machining tool which has a working zone which encompasses at least part of an area of the base plate.
