Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides detailed information about Orbitalum Tools GmbH's orbital cutting and beveling machines, specifically the GF series, designed for high-purity process piping. These machines are part of ITW Orbital Cutting & Welding's product line and are used in various industries such as chemical, biotechnology, pharmaceutical, food and beverage, energy plant construction, and shipbuilding.
Key Features:
  • Square, burr-free, and cold machining process ensuring deformation-free clamping for tubes and pipes.
  • Automated orbital cutting process with options for simultaneous or separate cutting and beveling.
  • Cost-effective with increased productivity and long tool life.
  • Components are anthracite-colored for improved sliding properties and corrosion protection.
Specifications:
  • The GF series includes models GF 4 and GF 6, available with manual (MVM) or automatic (AVM) feed modules.
  • Capable of cutting and beveling high-alloy steel, low- and unalloyed steel, plastics, casting materials, and non-ferrous metals using the "Planetary Cutting" method.
  • Power ranges from 1.8 to 1.9 kW with a variable cutting speed of 40-215 rpm.
  • Noise level at the workplace is approximately 79 dB(A), with a vibration level of less than 2.5 m/s².
  • Dimensions and weight vary by model, with the GF 4 weighing approximately 55 kg and the GF 6 around 92.7 kg.
Advantages:
  • Stainless steel clamping attachments prevent contact corrosion.
  • Ergonomically designed motor handle for safe and comfortable operation.
  • Integrated line laser for precise cut-off point determination.
  • Optimized speed range suitable for high-performance materials like Hastelloy® and P91.
  • Swivel cable with quick-disconnect coupler for easy power cable replacement.
Application Range:
  • GF 4 models handle tube outer diameters from 12 to 120 mm, while GF 6 models handle 21.3 to 168.3 mm.
  • Wall thickness capability ranges from 1 to 15 mm depending on the material and model.
Technical Data:
  • Protection class II (DIN EN 60745-1) for most models, with some models classified as class I (DIN EN 60204-1).
  • Available in single-phase AC versions with 230 V or 120 V, 50/60 Hz.
Scope of Delivery:
  • Each machine comes with a transportation case, set of stainless steel clamping attachments, saw blade, mounting plate, line laser, tool set, saw blade lubricant, special gear oil, and operating instructions.

GF 4, GF 6-1

Orbital cutting & beveling machines for high-purity process piping GF 4, GF 6 (AVM/MVM) Pipe cutting and beveling machines This saw has been designed for precise cutting of tubes and pipes in just seconds. For more than 40 years construction companies rely on the standard set by Orbitalum in the industrial prefabrication of pipeline systems: From the chemical, biotechnology, pharmaceutical, food and beverage industry to the energy plant construction and shipbuilding. Square, burr-free and cold machining process The GF series sets new standards in orbital pipe machining. Numerous innovative functions combined with an ergonomic design create significant advantages for you in the industrial prefabrication of pipeline systems Deformation-free clamping system for tubes and pipes Optimum preparation for the automated welding process Sturdy design with powerful drive Unique and automated orbital cutting process Simultaneous or seperate cutting and beveling Cost-effective, increasing productivity Long tool life Anthracite-colored coated components for improved sliding properties and protection against corrosion The basic requirement for the productive and high-quality welding of pipes with automated welding technology is a precise, right-angled and burrfree cut as well as a perfectly beveled pipe end. The GF series cuts and bevels high-alloy steel (stainless steel), low- and unalloyed steel, plastics, casting materials and non-ferrous metals easily and in just seconds, using the "Planetary Cutting" method. The powerful clamping is effected without any deformation of the workpiece. FURTHER ADVANTAGES: • Stainless steel clamping attachments for pro- tection against contact corrosion included • Reduced operator impact by optional feed Besides the completely manual operation, users also have the possibility to choose between manual operation with manual feed module (MVM) or automatic feed module (AVM) – both optional. The latter option optimizes the cutting result, increases the tool life and reduces the operator impact. The result: Maximum safety and productivity. module AVM or MVM for an automated or manual cutting process Locking mechanism prevents unauthorized usage and theft An ergonomically-designed motor handle for a safe and comfortable operating position, which also enables easy cutting of elbows Integrated line laser to determine the cut off point 2 position clamping jaws to reduce chatter and enable smaller length of pipe to be machined (GF 4 only) Multifunctional tool for all adjustments on the machine Optimized speed range (40-215 rpm), ideal for cutting high-performance materials (Hastelloy®, P91, etc.) • Swivel cable with a quick-disconnect coupler: for easy and comfortable replacement of the power cable • Optimized saw blade guard protects the user against flying chips and comes with a measuring port (for GF 4 only) FEED VERSIONS: Pipe cutting and beveling machine with automatic feed module AVM*: This intelligent solution continuously controls the cutting speed depending on the torque and the parameter settings. The AVM improves the handling of the GF and RA machine and stops automatically after the cutting process. Pipe cutting and beveling machines with manual feed module MVM*: This manually operated feed module facilitates the cutting and beveling of pipes. With the help of a hand wheel, the machine head rotates easily and with little effort around the pipe with a constant speed.
