Abstract
The machining device is for machining the material of a pipe system that has a joint area between a pipe that has a smaller inner diameter and a pipe that has a larger inner diameter. The device has protruding parts that have been adapted to position the device inside the pipe that has the smaller diameter. A steerable actuator is adapted for removing material from the joint area and steering device for controlling the direction of the machining device in relation to the longitudinal axis of the pipe that has the smaller inner diameter while removing material from the joint area. The method is for machining material of the joint area that has a thinner and a thicker pipe.
Claims15
A machining device for machining the material of a pipe system comprising:
- a joint area between a pipe having a smaller inner diameter and a pipe having a larger inner diameter,
- protruding parts adapted to position the machining device or at least a part of the machining device inside the pipe having smaller inner diameter,
- steerable, actuator operable means for removing material from the joint area, and
- the joint area having a hole defined therein,
- a steering device having means for controlling a direction of the machining device in relation to a longitudinal axis of the pipe having the smaller inner diameter while removing material from edges of the hole.
A method for machining the joint area of a pipe system, comprising:
- providing a thinner pipe and a thicker pipe,
- puncturing a hole from the thinner pipe to the thicker pipe, and
- sanding edges of the punctured hole by controlling from the thicker pipe a direction of a rotational axis of a rotatable sanding device in relation to an axis of the thinner pipe.
A method of machining the joint area of two pipes of a pipe system using a machining device of claim.
