Tube Scarfing Tooling

Tube scarfing tooling is a necessary component in pipe and tube manufacturing. It removes the weld bead along the inside and outside seams of tubes and pipes. It also comes in handy when forming steel wheels and rims where the internal diameter bead is critical to the wheel's strength and performance.

The Life of a Scarfing Tool

One of the most important considerations for scarfing tool life is proper application and mounting. Failure to mount the tool in the correct position, holder that is not matched to the relief angle or insert that has a radius too small for the pipe being scarfed will all shorten the life of a tool.

Properly designed and maintained scarf stations also extend the life of a scarfing tool. A good station should provide positive pressure on the scarfing inserts for a smooth and uniform finish.

Long tool life is directly related to good slitting setup, maintenance and quality control. These are all areas that tube manufacturers should be focusing on in order to provide high quality products for their customers.

Modular design allowing for easy disassembly and reassembly is a key consideration when selecting the right tube scarfing tool. The ability to interchange inserts and modules saves time during set-up and operation and helps maintain consistency of performance.

Reduce Weld Chatter

One of the common problems associated with OD scarfing is weld chatter which causes a ribbed appearance on the outside of the pipe being scarfed. This can be reduced by using support rollers that support the tube and by using an "ironing pass" after the OD scarfing tool is used.
