CA 2482642

An apparatus and method for forming grooves (24) in a pipe (10) for receiving mechanical pipe clamps are disclosed. The apparatus includes a holding fixture (42) for securing the pipe (10) and a carriage (70) rotatably mounted on the holding fixture (42). Two arms (66,68) are pivotably mounted on the carriage (70) and extend on opposite sides of the pipe (10). Each arm (66,68) has a grooving roller (54,56) rotatably mounted thereon. An actuator (78) connects the arms (66,68) and forces the grooving rollers into engagement with the pipe. The carriage (70) arms (66,68) actuator (78) and grooving rollers (54,56) are rotated about the pipe (10) in an orbit to form the circumferential groove (24). The method steps include forcing the grooving roller (54,56) into the surface of the pipe (10) at a fixed rate per revolution of the grooving rollers (54,56) about the pipe (10) in the orbit.

L'invention concerne un appareil et un procédé permettant de former des rainures (24) dans un tuyau (10), pour la réception de colliers de serrage mécaniques. L'appareil de l'invention comprend une fixation de retenue (42) permettant de fixer le tuyau (10), et un chariot (70) monté rotatif sur ladite fixation de retenue (42). Deux bras (66, 68) sont montés pivotants sur ledit chariot (70) et s'étendent sur des côtés opposés du tuyau (10). Un rouleau de rainurage (54, 56) est monté rotatif sur chaque bras (66, 68). Un actionneur (78) raccorde lesdits bras (66, 68) et pousse les rouleaux de rainurage (54, 56) de manière à les mettre en contact avec le tuyau (10). Le chariot (70), les bras (66, 68), l'actionneur (78), et les rouleaux de rainurage (54, 56) pivotent autour du tuyau (10) selon une orbite, afin de former une rainure circonférentielle (24). Le procédé comprend des étapes consistant à pousser le rouleau de rainurage (54, 56) dans la surface du tuyau (10) à une fréquence fixe par révolution des rouleaux de rainurage (54, 56) autour du tuyau dans l'orbite.
