ESCO Tool presents the Millhog® Air Clamp?, an air-operated cylinder that fits the company's small diameter welding end prep tools for use on tube and pipe up to 3 in ID. Featuring a self-centering draw rod that rigidly mounts into the tube or pipe ID, the clamping mechanism employs clamp ribs that retract off the mandrel automatically to reduce friction and promote high reliability.
Capable of improving the cycle times between end preps by as much as 600 percent, the Millhog® Air Clamp? fits the Ground-, Tube Weasel-, and Wart Millhog® end prep tools which can bevel, face, and bore tubes simultaneously, and can be used at any orientation.
Typical high speed applications include fabrication shops processing individual tubes and tube sheet panels. The Millhog® Air Clamp? is priced from $550, depending upon the tool and can be retrofit by the customer to existing tools.
