An apparatus for selectively removing material from both an inner and outer circumference of an end of a tubular workpiece includes a cylindrical outer frame. A blade holder is affixed to the outer frame. The blade holder has a conical configuration with a base located adjacent a first rim of the outer frame and an apex located adjacent a second rim of the outer frame. At least one ID blade is carried by the blade holder and has an ID cutting edge oriented radially outward. At least one OD blade is carried by the blade holder and has an OD cutting edge oriented radially inward. A motive cap has a rim-coupling feature configured for selective engagement sequentially with the first and second rims of the outer frame, to selectively provide rotational motion to the outer frame and thus indirectly to the blade holder.

A rotary bit configured to deburr and swage an end of a tube, comprising a first end configured to deburr and swage the end of the tube, and a second end configured to be secured to a rotary device, wherein the first end includes a plurality of blades that extend axially along the first end and radially outward from the rotary bit, the plurality of blades including a plurality of leading blades and a plurality of finishing blades, the leading blades configured to initially deburr and swage the end of the tube upon insertion of the rotary bit into the end of the tube, and the finishing blades configured to complete deburring and swaging of the end of the tube, the finishing blades extending radially outward from the rotary bit to a greater extent than the leading blades.

Devices and methods are provided for cutting or forming tapered surfaces on the end portions of tube or pipe lengths prior to forming joints in adjoining lengths. A device body includes multiple guide surfaces, each having distinct size and shape to engage with an open end of a one of a multiple of tube of predetermined diameters. In intended use, a powered cutting device is rotated about the end of stationary tube or pipe.

Disclosed herein is a fixture for a workpiece, a system and a method for performing a machining operation using the fixture. The fixture may include a frame, a plurality of holders, an actuator and a bracket. Each holder may be configured to receive and secure a workpiece. Each holder may be rotationally coupled to the frame. The actuator may be operatively coupled to the plurality of holders to drive rotation of the holders with respect to the frame. The bracket may allow for mounting the frame to a manipulator configured to move the fixture. The method may include the steps of loading a workpiece to the holder of the fixture, moving and/or rotating the workpiece by the actuator to perform one or more ancillary operations on the workpiece, and moving/and or rotating the workpiece by the actuator to grind the workpiece against a grinding surface.

A probe sanding fixture includes a base, a probe adapter including a probe guide defining one or more channels defined therein, and a sander tool including a sanding wheel and a gauge pin configured to process one or more probes positioned in the channels. The probe adapter is coupleable to the base such that the channels are extendable generally along a first axis. The sander tool is coupled to the base such that the sander tools is translatable along a second axis and rotatable about the first axis.

An apparatus for selectively removing material from both an inner and outer circumference of an end of a tubular workpiece includes a cylindrical outer frame. A blade holder is affixed to the outer frame. The blade holder has a conical configuration with a base located adjacent a first rim of the outer frame and an apex located adjacent a second rim of the outer frame. At least one ID blade is carried by the blade holder and has an ID cutting edge oriented radially outward. At least one OD blade is carried by the blade holder and has an OD cutting edge oriented radially inward. A motive cap has a rim-coupling feature configured for selective engagement sequentially with the first and second rims of the outer frame, to selectively provide rotational motion to the outer frame and thus indirectly to the blade holder.

A pipe de-burring assembly for de-burring a pipe and a pipe fitting includes a cylinder that has a pair of wells each extending therein to insertably receive a respective one of a pipe and a pipe fitting. A shaft extends lengthwise through the cylinder and the shaft is rotatably coupled to a power tool to rotate the cylinder. A plurality of first bristles is each of the first bristles is coupled to the shaft and each of the first bristles frictionally engages an inside surface of the pipe fitting for de-burring the inside surface of the pipe fitting. A plurality of second bristles is each coupled to the cylinder and each of the second bristles frictionally engages an outside surface of the pipe to de-burr the outside surface of the pipe.

The present invention generally relates to assembly equipment of valve body, especially to riveting and grinding assembly for nozzle of screw shaft valve. The invention may include a rack, a power control box, a turntable and a turntable divider. A carrier assembly which engages with the screw shaft valve body is installed on the edge of the turntable with uniform distribution. On the center part of the turntable, a support shaft which is installed on and fixed with the rack is vertically interposed and on the top of the support shaft, an upper supporting disc is installed. A valve pipe feeding device, a valve pipe preloading device, a valve pipe riveting device and a valve pipe grinding device which engage with the carrier assembly are installed on the said rack on the rotational direction of turntable. As the threaded pipe is put into the carrier assembly by valve pipe feeding device, the carrier assembly rotates counterclockwise along the turntable and rotates to the valve pipe feeding device to the press threaded pipe into the valve seat. Thereafter the carrier assembly rotates the valve pipe riveting device and rivets threaded pipe with a valve flange in order to finish assembling process. Finally, the carrier assembly rotates the valve pipe grinding device to grind nozzle of valve to finish grinding and riveting process of threaded pipe with high positioning accuracy of assembly and marvelous hermetic sealing.

A deburring device includes a cylindrical body with a receptacle for receiving a pipe. The cylindrical body includes an abrasive surface provided in the receptacle, which is configured to simultaneously deburr at least two surfaces of a pipe inserted into the receptacle.

A nested multi-port pipe preparation device is provided herein. The nested multi-port pipe preparation device is a single tool configured to clean and deburr the ends of two or more differently sized pipes and pipe fittings. The device includes a housing having a plurality of ports. Each port includes a single female pipe-cleaning member, a single male pipe-cleaning member, or a pipe-cleaning member assembly. The pipe-cleaning member assembly includes a male pipe-cleaning member and a female pipe-cleaning member concentrically surrounding the male pipe-cleaning member such that an exterior portion of a pipe and the interior portion of a pipe fitting can be cleaned in the device. The device further includes two or more deburring blades positioned relative to the single female pipe-cleaning member and the pipe-cleaning member assembly for deburring a pipe as the pipe is cleaned.
