SMG Roto-Edge 1200-LR – Large Radius Pipe Beveling Machine

The SMG Roto-Edge 1200-LR is a large pipe beveling machine built around a milling head and insert cutter system that cold-mills the bevel face directly, so no secondary grinding pass is needed after machining. The cutter head carries nine insert tips and runs at a variable 500–1050 r/min spindle speed, with a milling feed rate adjustable from 0–1500mm/min to suit different material thicknesses and bevel profiles.

Clamping capacity extends from 9mm up to 100mm material thickness, with a clamp width/height over 500mm and a clamp diameter capacity over 1200mm – sizing the machine for large radius pipe beveling machine work such as large diameter pipe ends, shell sections, torispherical and dished heads, oval pipe, and conical pipe sections. The bevel angle is adjustable through the full 0–90° range, and the machine covers U, V, K, and I bevel joint preparations without requiring special machining. On-site use has also demonstrated inner and outer bevel machining, L-type bevel, 0-degree facing, and U/J bevel preparation, producing a consistent Ra 3.2–6.3 surface finish on the milled face.

Operator control is built around a wheeled mobile stand paired with a handheld pendant remote control. This lets the operator position the machine and run the milling cycle without manually bracing the cutter head against the workpiece, reducing physical strain when working around the edge of a large diameter pipe or dished end and keeping the operator’s hands clear of the cutting zone during operation.

Mounted on its mobile stand, the Roto-Edge 1200-LR is suited to both workshop fabrication bays and on-site deployment, including elevated or scaffold-supported work on large vessel shells. It is aimed at pressure vessel and tank fabrication, chemical industry equipment manufacture, and general heavy fabrication shops producing large pipe end beveling machine work as a dished end beveling machine or shell beveling machine, with the flexibility to run from a mobile head or an optional fixture/power arrangement depending on the job.

Feature Bullets

• Cold-cutting milling head – Nine-insert cutter head mills the bevel directly, removing the need for further grinding after machining.
• Full 0–90° bevel angle range, plus 0-degree facing – Adjustable bevel angle covers square-face through to full 90° preparation, with a 0-degree facing pass available on-site.
• 9–100mm clamp thickness capacity – Handles material thickness from 9mm up to 100mm, suited to heavy pipe and shell wall sections.
• Large clamp diameter capacity – Clamps onto workpieces over 1200mm in diameter with a clamp width/height over 500mm, sized for large diameter pipe beveler applications.
• Inner and outer bevel capability – Machines both inner and outer bevel faces, including L-type bevel and U/J joint preparation.
• Mobile stand with pendant remote control – Wheeled stand and handheld remote allow the operator to position and run the machine without manually bracing the cutting head.
• Consistent milled finish – Delivers a surface finish of Ra 3.2–6.3 across the bevel face.
• Material-specific tooling options – Insert tooling can be configured to suit different workpiece materials.
