HOB-O®

The DC HOB-O® lightweight hole borer is easily carried to the work, and is quickly centered on the workpiece. All that you need is a single center punch mark. Set the hole radius on the built-in scale, light the torch, start your cut and hit the switch to make smooth accurate holes in any position; virtually eliminating the need for grinding and touchup. This flame-cutting machine will cut holes from 1" to 8" (25 mm to 200 mm) inside diameter and from 14 1/2 to 48" (368 mm to 1220 mm) outside diameter. When mounted with magnets, each magnet foot is covered with a shield to protect it from direct flame and heat.

The PCC-1 is used for cutting pipe to a desired length or for beveling the edge of a pipe for weld prep. The machine features a self centering speed chuck capable of gripping 0-8" O.D. pipe and 3-11" I.D. pipe. A racking group supports a plasma or oxy-fuel torch which can be setup for square or beveled cuts up to 12” in length. The variable speed control on the PCC-1 can be adjusted from 1-6 rpm. A rotary ground is included on the plasma version and a quick action manifold is supplied on the oxy-fuel version.

The MM1 is a computer controlled machine that automates the cutting of profiles, holes and shapes on pipe with diameters from 4-16" (102-406 mm). It rotates the pipe on its roller bed with a three jaw chuck while simultaneously moving a cutting torch back and forth along the pipe’s axis. Pre-programmed shapes such as saddle, hillside, lateral and miter cuts can be made by simply selecting the type of cut from the menu, then entering the diameters of the pipes being processed and pressing the run button to cut your pipe. Also available is Windows based software for programming.

Bug-O offers a Modular Drive System with more than double the standard carrying capacity. The High Capacity MDS can carry up to 140 lbs. (64 kg) vertically, and is compatible with all standard MDS components. The High Capacity MDS provides the required power to carry the feeder, wire, and cables to mobilize the complete welding system. For full load carrying capacity, the High Capacity Modular Drive System must travel upon heavy duty rail (call factory for details).

All Position Overlay System

The All Position Overlay System is designed for pulp digesters, boiler tube walls or any vessel or surface that requires overlay repair. The system will travel at a regulated, precise travel speed producing consistent uniform overlay patterns. A welding current sensor monitors and controls the welding torch height on pitted or irregular surfaces. The system can be customized for job specific applications on circumferences or flat walls and can be configured to handle a variety of operating windows. The entire system is portable and can be broken down into small pieces for moving thru small manholes or openings.

Close-up view

Bug-O addresses the need to utilize the latest advancements in pulsed MIG and submerged arc process control for its circle welders. This Circle Welder System is now available for Digitally Controlled Welding Power Sources. All digital control signals can now be passed to a continuously turning wire feeder for advanced process welds. Now you can have all the power and arc characteristics that the new digitally controlled power sources can deliver, along with no hose or cable wrap-up regardless of direction or rotation.

Pre-programmed shapes such as saddle, hillside, lateral and miter cuts can be made by simply selecting the type of cut from the menu, then entering the diameters of the pipes and pressing the run button to cut your pipe. There is no need for templates, time consuming layout or calculations. In addition, irregular or custom shapes can be plotted, programmed and saved for future use.

Bug-O Systems offers Automatic Girth Welders for tank fabrication applications. They are convertible for both bottom up and top down construction. Bug-O Girth Welders are also capable of being used as a pair to construct a dual sided girth welder. Special models can be built per customer’s request.

Unlike other girth welders on the market, the BGW (Bug-O Girth Welder) Series comes standard with a Dual Drive System and other features unique to our machines. This self-propelled submerged arc welding system can reduce field storage tank welding time by 40% by increasing arc on time and reducing weld defects. The models run directly on the tank and carry the operator, eliminating the need for scaffolding while ensuring operator comfort and safety. The Girth Welders, due to their modular design, are applicable for top down or bottom up constructed single or double wall storage tanks. They are designed for internal and external welding. There are four standard units and our design allows us to offer custom-built units for special applications.
