HECK INDUSTRIES
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about HECK INDUSTRIES from 3G Electric.
What is the maximum bevel width on Heck Industries corded bevelers?
Heck Industries corded bevelers for metal plate have varying maximum bevel widths depending on the model. The 5000 model produces a maximum bevel width of 5/16 in, the 9000 model up to 1 1/4 in, and the 7000 model is specified for beveling edges on aluminum, stainless steel, and steel with a 0.5 hp motor. All three operate on 115V and accommodate a minimum material thickness of 1/8 in. Bevel angles range from 15° to 45° on the 5000 and 9000 models. These specifications allow selection based on the required bevel size and material thickness.
What pipe sizes can Heck Industries manual pipe and tube notchers handle?
Heck Industries manual pipe and tube notchers are available in two models with different capacity ranges. The WFN1 notcher accommodates pipe sizes from 1/4 in minimum and creates a maximum notch diameter of 13/16 in. The WFN2 notcher handles pipe sizes from 3/4 in minimum with a maximum notch diameter of 1 11/16 in. Both are manual tools designed for creating saddle notches in round tubing and pipe for welded joint preparation. The appropriate model depends on the outside diameter of the pipe or tube being notched.
What are the power requirements for Heck Industries bevelers?
Heck Industries bevelers are available in corded electric and air-powered configurations. Corded models, including the 5000, 7000, and 9000, operate on 115V. The VA-400 stationary plate beveling machine is a single-phase 115V unit with a 1 hp motor. The air-powered Model S beveler operates at 11 cfm and produces a 45° bevel. Motor ratings for corded bevelers range from 0.5 hp to 4 hp. These power specifications allow matching the tool to available shop power or compressed air supply.
What is the maximum weld removal capacity of the Heck Industries WS625 weld shaver?
The Heck Industries WS625 weld shaver removes weld seams and spatter with a maximum removal height of 3/16 in and a maximum removal width of 1/2 in. It uses eight inserts and operates on 115V. The tool is designed to prepare metal surfaces for finishing or painting by removing excess weld material. The specified removal capacity makes it suitable for conditioning welds within those dimensional limits.
What is the minimum plate thickness for Heck Industries plate beveling machines?
Heck Industries plate beveling machines have different minimum plate thickness capabilities. The VA-400 stationary plate beveling machine accepts a minimum plate thickness of 1/16 in. The corded bevelers, such as the 5000, 7000, and 9000 models, have a minimum material thickness of 1/8 in. The air-powered Model S beveler also has a minimum plate thickness specification. These minimums should be considered when selecting a beveler for thin plate applications.
What bevel angles can Heck Industries bevelers produce?
Heck Industries bevelers produce bevel angles within a range of 15° to 45°. The corded beveler models 5000 and 9000 are adjustable within this range. The air-powered Model S beveler produces a fixed 45° bevel. The VA-400 stationary plate beveling machine also has a bevel angle range of 15° to 45°. The ability to set specific bevel angles allows preparation of weld joints according to welding procedure specifications.
