US 5,666,848 A · Device for cutting and crimping pipes or tubes

Abstract

A crimping and cutting device for use on pipes comprises a frame (1 ) provided at one end with an anvil (4) to locate a pipe (P) during a crimping and cutting operation. The device includes a crimping head (18) and a cutting blade (28) which are movable towards the anvil (4) by, respectively, first and second hydraulic actuators (11, 13). The two actuators are mounted coaxially on the frame (1), with the first actuator (11) being operatively connected to the second actuator (13). In operation, the first actuator (11) is operated to move the second actuator (13) which, in turn, moves the crimping head (18) so as to compress the pipe against the anvil (4). Then the second actuator (13) is operated to move the cutting blade (28) through a passage (35) formed in the crimping head (18) so that the blade cuts through the compressed region of the pipe (P).

Dependent claims

A device for crimping and cutting a tubular component, the device comprising:

a frame,
means defined by the frame to provide an anvil for locating said tubular component to be cut,
crimping means mounted on said frame, said crimping means having a passage formed therein and being movable towards said anvil to produce a compressed region in the tubular component, and
a cutting blade adapted for movement through said passage towards the anvil so as to cut through the tubular component at said compressed region wherein the crimping means is moved by operation of a first fluid-operated actuator and the cutting blade is moved by operation of a second fluid-operated actuator.
