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.
Claims9
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 for machining the material of a pipe system, comprising:
- providing a joint area between a pipe having a smaller inner diameter and a pipe having a larger inner diameter, the joint area having a hole defined therein, protruding parts positioning at least a part of a machining device inside the pipe having the smaller inner diameter,
- a steerable actuator removing material from the joint area, and
- a steering device 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.
