Beveling Machine Millina
Millina is a fully automated all-in-one solution for the preparation of pipe and fitting weld seams.
It combines high machining speed with maximum precision and flexibly adapts to different pipe sizes and bevel geometries – with no need for retooling or manual adjustments.
Thanks to its continuous inline concept, the pipe remains in the production line throughout the entire process.
Parallel clamping of two pipes, automatic diameter detection, and freely programmable milling paths enable continuous, cost-effective machining – even with varying workpieces.
Specific Functional Features
- Simultaneous machining: Pipe 1 is machined on the output side while Pipe 2 is clamped on the input side
- Automatic diameter detection and ovality compensation
- Freely definable bevel geometries without retooling
- Tool magazine for up to 7 tools
- Optional fitting module for complex beveling tasks
- Precision fit of pipes and fittings using tactile measurement
- Fully automated, unmanned process sequence
Additional Options
- Roller conveyors for infeed and outfeed of pipes
- Integrated chip conveyor for clean processes
- Front extension for automated beveling of fittings
- Freely configurable tool magazine
- Tooling options for specific materials (e.g. stainless steel, aluminum)
- Custom solutions available at any time (e.g. noise insulation, paint finish, milling of special profile geometries)
All in One Line
Millina can be seamlessly integrated into existing production lines.
This eliminates the need for manual loading and unloading.
Auxiliary systems like cranes or external loading devices are no longer required – the process is streamlined and fully automated.

Time Efficiency through Parallel Processing
The machine allows two pipes to be clamped simultaneously.
While one pipe is being machined at the output end, the next pipe is automatically clamped at the input end – without idle time for the milling spindle.
A 3-axis milling system with a 90° swivel head machines each pipe end fully automatically and without operator intervention.

Free Bevel Geometry
Depending on the welding method or manufacturing requirement, various bevel types can be implemented.
Millina can flexibly follow these paths – without retooling.
The only limitation is the tool geometry. All bevel types can be freely combined thanks to the integrated tool magazine.

Automatic Diameter Detection
An integrated probe automatically detects the pipe’s inner and outer diameters.
Ovalities are identified and compensated for in the milling path – enabling uniform, precise beveling and optimal weld preparation.

Automated Fitting Beveling
Fittings can also be processed automatically with Millina.
An optional front extension allows fittings of all complexities to be machined independently of the ongoing pipe beveling process – without interruptions or reconfiguration.

Precision Fit of Pipes and Fittings
For certain applications, an exact land width on the bevel is critical.
Millina precisely measures the ovality of the workpiece and compensates for it during processing.
This ensures a consistent land width – ideal for precise fit and twist-proof assembly.

Impeccable Alignment of Bevel Ends
Millina can individually detect the irregularities of pipes and fittings that are to be welded together. Based on this data, the machine independently calculates an optimized milling path, which is then applied to both components – ensuring the impeccable alignment of the bevel ends to be welded together.
The wall thicknesses of both parts remain as consistent as possible, and the bevel edges are perfectly matched to each other.
A precisely aligned bevel is the most important prerequisite for an automated welding process.
