Mathey MagnaCut XM Pipe Cutting Machine
The Mathey MagnaCut XM is a magnetic pipe and plate cutting carriage with a powered torch arm. It travels on suitable magnetically receptive steel surfaces and carries a compatible cutting or welding torch. Specify surface condition, pipe size, torch and restraint arrangements for the application.
Magnetic carriage for pipe and plate preparation
The MagnaCut XM carries a compatible torch along pipe or plate using magnetic wheel assemblies. Remote controls operate carriage travel and the powered torch arm. A suitable guide track can assist tracking; magnet contact, surface condition and hose routing must be assessed for each setup.
Application limits and restraint
Always secure the machine to the pipe with the required safety strap. Magnetic pull figures do not replace restraint requirements or establish a rated overhead working load. Confirm that the work surface is magnetically receptive; do not assume suitability for every stainless steel or coated surface.
- The listed machine is not intended for pipe or plate thicker than 3 in (76.2 mm).
- It is not designed for spiral-welded pipe.
- The listed holder does not accept 1.75-inch or 2.5-inch barrel plasma torches. Confirm the actual torch barrel, rack and holder.
- Pipe miters and saddles are limited to shallow profiles; assess the intended geometry before selecting this carriage.
