Description

Out-of-Round Tracking Slides are
accessories to E.H. Wachs LCSF (Low
Clearance Split Frame) series of pipe
cutting and beveling machines, available
for the HYSF (High Yield Split Frame)
line and standard equipment on our
HDSF (Heavy Duty Split Frame) series.
Used in place of the standard slides on
the LCSF, Out-of-Round Tracking Slides
feature heavy duty springs and tracking
wheel that allows the tooling to follow
the contours of a deformed or less than
perfectly round pipe, a condition known
as “out-of-round”.
The spring-tensioned tracking
mechanism allows radial motion that
compensates for out-of-roundness.
This mechanism allows the cutting tool
to remain in steady contact with the
workpiece at all times, which results
in precise weld preps and consistent
lands. In addition, these slides feature
a long slide travel to handle heavy
wall pipe. Included is a spring loaded
auto-resetting trip mechanism specially
designed to kick out in high load
situations, reducing the risk of stalling
and extending the life of the tooling.

SPLIT FRAME ACCESSORY

Utilizing Out-of-Round Tracking Slides
means precisely centering the split
frame on the pipe becomes less critical,
as these slides help the machine become
self centering. This reduces downtime by
minimizing the setup time, translating
into significant cost savings particularly
where many cut and bevel operations
are performed in a single day. E.H. Wachs
Out-of-Round Tracking Slides deliver precise
lathe finish preps, easy setup, less downtime
and a rapid return on investment.
