Thanks for a great explanation Dave! One of the things we try to tell our guys to watch is drag pressure. If you're doing a bunch of the same lengths of pipe and the drag pressure is changing much, you should look at how the pipe is sitting in the machine before closing the jaws and clamps. Sometimes it's as simple as rigging the new piece pipe the same way every time before setting it in the machine. R |

Good post. We also see a lot of cylinders with premature wear due to improper support/alignment of the pipe. |

I've also noticed massive wear in a 1236 unit here in México regarding this issue, when I first saw it I attributed the wear to a lack of lubrication, but I think Dave here has a point, also I think the owner of the machine doesn't have pipe stands. I'll attach some pictures of the wear. Let me know what you think of it.

It is hard to tell for sure from the pictures but it does look like there is some misalignment of the carriage causing the glands to rub against the guide rods. That is pretty much always the cause of that kind of wear. |
