New m3 Plasma
Cutting System
ESAB's m3 Plasma System combines
multiple plasma cutting and marking
features in a single system. The m3 sys-
tem aims to deliver high-speed, low-cost
standard plasma cutting; high-quality
precision cutting and marking; and high-
current, thick-plate cutting all with a sin-
gle plasma torch. When configured for
600-amp operation, the system can cut
and mark material from 1 mm to 160
mm with uniform quality.
Internal Deburring
Brushes
Weiler
Corporation's
Bore-Rx line
of internal
deburring
brushes is
designed to
increase pro-
ductivity of in-
machine deburring in CNC machining
centers. Bore-Rx brushes are used for
the removal of burrs found at intersect-
ing holes and other internal edges of the
work-piece and can be used for bore fin-
ishing applications. Bore-Rx brushes are
manufactured with more filament densi-
ty than tube brushes, allowing them to
remove even well attached burrs and
boast an expanded lifespan. Also, Bore-
Rx brushes can be operated at high
RPMs and rotating in both directions.
Brushes are available in sizes ranging
from 0.75 -4 in. in either wire or abra-
sive nylon filament.
Wortelboer Debuts PBM-4
Wortelboer developed a new version
of the PBM pipe
end preparation
machines. The line
of PBM machines
will be extended
with a small PBM-
4. The PBM 4 has a
clamping range
from 0.2 - 4 in.
pipe diameter by a
wall thickness up
to 17 mm. The standard PBM 4 is fully
manual operated. With the heavy duty
self-centering prism clamp the pipe is
hold firmly in place. After starting the
motor the tool head can be moved by
hand towards the pipe to make a bevel.
According to Wortelboer, all these han-
dlings take place in a few seconds. The
PBM 4 and other PBM pipe end prepa-
ration machines up to diameter 24-in.

Miller Integrates Bernard
Q-Guns, Centerfire
Miller Electric Mfg. Co. and Bernard
will integrate Bernard Q-Guns with
Centerfire consumables on most of its
industrial wire feeder products and bun-
dled MIG welding systems. This initia-
tive brings Bernard products to all
Miller customers, effective immediately.
Centerfire contact tips "drop-in" and
lock in place without tools for quick
changeovers. The design
allows for better electrical
conductivity to enhance
arc performance and
improve heat dissipation
for longer tip life. The noz-
zle features a built-in spat-
ter shield for smooth gas
flow to reduce downtime
and increase arc-on time.
Miller/Bernard Integrated Systems
Miller's 22-A, 24-A and R-115 wire
feeders will now incorporate the
Bernard Q400 gun, as will the Delta-Fab
and CP-302, Invision 354MP, XMT 304
XMT 350 MIGRunner systems. The
Q400 gun with Centerfire consumables
is a 400-amp, 100 percent duty cycle,
air-cooled, 15-ft. MIG welding gun and
replaces Miller's Roughneck 4015 gun
at no additional cost. Other Miller prod-
ucts will come standard with Bernard Q-
Guns and Centerfire consumables in the
future. Miller's new 75 Series wire feed-
er will also feature the Bernard Q-Gun
and Centerfire consumables. The inte-
grated Miller/Bernard system features a
new Accu-Mate connection that secures
the Bernard Q-Gun power pin assembly
to the Precision Drive (PD) wire drive
assembly.
