SGM is foreseen for sleeve grooving and cutting operation. Sleeves are made from a pipe, which is produced on CFW machine. For an easier pipe manipulation, the pipe has to be cut on 4m lenght. The pipe is supported by the support wheels which are driven by the gear box. Drive motor, belt system and grooving tool set are mounted on hinged support plate connected to the pneumatic cylinder. When grooving is finished, pipe cutting operation starts, while the pipe is still rotating. After sleeve removal, the rest of pipe is moved forward with hydraulic supports toward the correct position for new sleeve production. Equipment is completed with electric power box and is completely wired. During sleeve coupling manufacturing, due to grinding and cuttitng operations, dust is a side product. Grinding and cutting tool are connected by flexible tubes with suction line and dust filter.
