A racking group supports a plasma or oxy-fuel torch which can be set up for square or beveled cuts up to 12” in length. 

The variable speed control on the PCC-3 can be adjusted from 1-6 rpm. A rotary ground is included on the plasma version, and a quick-action manifold is supplied on the oxy-fuel version.

 

Features:

 

  • Available for oxy-fuel or plasma in a dual voltage model (120/240 VAC 50/60 Hz)
  • Variable speed control from 0-4.5 RPM
  • Able to grip 0-8″ O.D. and 3-11″ I.D. pipe
  • Made in USA
  • Capable of cuts up to 12″ (305 mm)
  • Speed range of 0-4.5 RPM
  • Plasma model includes a rotary ground and, for the oxy-fuel version, a quick action manifold and hose assembly is purchased separately.
  • Integrated arc on-off switch
  • Digital Speed Control

Also available is Windows-based software for programming. The SE-4PD pipe-cutting equipment can accommodate pipe sizes ranging from 1″-12″ (25-305 mm) in diameter and is available for plasma and oxy-fuel cutting.

 

Features:

 

  • Oxy-fuel or plasma process
  • Dual programming capabilities
  • Can accommodate pipe sizes ranging from 1- 12″ (25-305 mm) in diameter
  • Pipe weight capacity of 375 lbs. (170 kg)
  • Speed range of 0.2-3.7 rpm
  • Made in USA

SE-4PTD

The SE-4PTD is a mechanized cutting machine used to cut saddles, offset saddles, laterals, miter cuts, and holes on the pipe. A second (selectable) program is used for cutting customized shapes in pipes. Also available is Windows-based software for programming. 

This pipe-cutting machine can be configured for oxy-fuel, plasma or both. The SE-4PTD eliminates the need to make templates or to layout complex cuts.

 

Features:

 

  • Dual programming capabilities
  • Pass through cutting diameter from 4-12 3/4 ” O.D. (100-325 mm)
  • Pipe weight capacity of 375 lbs. (170 kg)
  • Internal chucking of pipe (for short lengths) up to 20″ (500 mm) diameter.
  • Rotation speed 0.2-3 rpm

Oxy-Fuel and Plasma Pipe Cutting Capabilities

At Bug-O Systems, we design our equipment to support oxy-fuel, plasma, or dual-process configurations to match your operational requirements. Whether you require a precision industrial tube cutting machine or adaptable mechanized systems, our equipment delivers clean, controlled cuts across various diameters with dependable, USA-built performance.

 

Key Benefits of Mechanized Pipe Preparation

  • Eliminates manual measuring, marking, and template creation, reducing labor time and human error while improving overall workflow efficiency and production consistency.
  • Enhances operator safety by minimizing direct torch handling and reducing exposure to sparks, heat, and manual cutting hazards in demanding industrial environments.
  • Improves repeatability and accuracy for saddles, miters, bevels, and custom profiles, ensuring weld-ready cuts that meet fabrication and pipeline standards.
  • Increases production capacity by automating complex cuts, allowing teams to complete larger projects faster while maintaining consistent, high-quality output using advanced pipe cutting solutions.

Eliminate Manual Templates and Layouts

Our programmable systems remove the need for cardboard templates, manual calculations, and time-consuming layout work. Pre-programmed shapes and customizable software enable operators to quickly produce complex saddle and miter cuts, positioning each machine as a reliable industrial tube-cutting machine for fabrication professionals.

 

Increase Cutting Speeds and Accuracy

Mechanized rotation control and programmable settings allow precise speed adjustments tailored to material and diameter. This controlled automation improves cut quality and minimizes rework, helping fabrication teams meet demanding timelines while maintaining the tight tolerances required in pipeline and structural applications.

 

 

Ideal Applications for Pipeline & Fabrication Industries

  • Oil and gas pipeline fabrication requires accurate saddle and branch connections for structural integrity and weld readiness.
  • Industrial fabrication shops producing elbows, miters, and structural pipe assemblies with consistent, repeatable results.
  • Mechanical contractors handling custom pipe installations that demand precise beveling and fit-up preparation.
  • Manufacturing facilities seeking automated solutions to improve throughput, reduce manual labor, and maintain production quality standards with advanced industrial tube cutting machine technology.
