Load Pipe
The Talon 2000 fusion machine loads pipe into the machine by
using the carriage quarter jaws to pull the pipe up into the carriage
upper jaws.
The fusion machine can clamp onto the middle of the pipe allowing
the machine to move pipe into position on the job-site for fusion.
Do not position yourself under supported or
raised pipe. Pipe is heavy and could result in
serious injury or death.
Keep persons that are not involved in handling pipe away from
handling operations. Keep away from the pipe when the pipe and
handling equipment are in motion. When in motion, all persons
involved in handling pipe should be able to see all other persons
at all times. If any handling person is not in sight, immediately
stop moving equipment and pipe and locate that person. Do not
continue until all persons are accounted for and in sight.
Å
Position pipe support stands at each end of the machine to
support and align pipe.
Å
Use the Machine Controls screen to load the pipe into jaws
of the carriage.
Allow 3 to 4 inches of pipe protruding into the fusion zone to
allow proper facing.
NOTICE:
Do not exceed 4" of pipe protruding.
Å
Ensure the pipe is clamped securely in the jaws of the
carriage.
It is recommended that the pipe is always held securely by either
being clamped in the fusion machine jaws or other means.
