Problem:

The Clamshell is slipping on the pipe or tube

Probable causes:

The Clamping Pads are not in full contact with the pipe or tube.

The clamping pressure is too light.

Scale and/or other foreign material is present on the pipe or tube.

Weld seams, swelling, or bumps under the Clamping Pads are preventing

full contact.

Dull Tool Bits are causing extra force in the axial and/or radial direction.

The pipe or tube wall is too thin which allows the tube wall to flex and the

machine to move.

Problem:

Probable causes:

Incorrect tool blocks are installed for the size of the pipe or tube being

worked on.

Incorrect tool bit is installed.

Problem:
