The PULLMAX X97 is a high-performance plate beveling machine designed to produce accurate, clean bevels for superior weld quality. Operating on the proven roller shear principle with a single cutting wheel, the machine automatically feeds the workpiece through the cutting process, ensuring smooth, efficient, and consistent operation.
The PULLMAX X97 is capable of producing X, V, Y, and K joint preparations, making it a versatile solution for a wide range of fabrication applications.
PULLMAX X97 – Precision Beveling for High-Quality Weld Preparation
Key Features
Continuously adjustable bevel angle from 25° to 55°
Motorized angle adjustment with convenient push-button control
Precision angle setting with an easy-to-read graduated scale
Automatic workpiece feed for consistent cutting performance
Cold cutting process with no heat-affected zone (HAZ)
Clean, burr-free bevels ready for welding
Performance
The PULLMAX X97 processes steel plates up to:
Plate thickness: up to 50 mm (2″)
Maximum bevel width: up to 25 mm (1″)
Suitable for steel with a tensile strength of up to 690 N/mm²
Depending on the bevel width and angle, the machine achieves beveling speeds between 1.5 and 3.1 m/min (6–12 ft/min), delivering both productivity and precision.
Superior Weld Preparation
Because the bevel is produced by a cold shearing process, the material remains free from thermal distortion and heat-induced structural changes. The resulting surface is clean, accurate, and immediately ready for welding.
This makes the PULLMAX X97 an excellent choice not only for carbon steel, but also for selected grades of stainless steel and aluminium, where preserving material properties is essential.
PULLMAX X97 Bevels for High Quality welds
The groundwork for high-quality welded joints is carried out at the preparation stage – when the edges of the workpieces are beveled.
It is important that the bevel is uniform along the full length of the edges to be welded and this is particularly important when using automatic welding where the volume of the weld is constant.
Another important factor is that the beveling must not cause deformation of the pieces to be welded.
If they are bent or buckled, it becomes difficult to keep the gap width constant along the whole length of the joint.
If these requirements for dimensional accuracy and freedom from deformation are met, then the conditions are right for making a high-quality weld. Cleanliness of the edges of the work and freedom from chemical action are,of course, also advantageous to the production of good welds.
X-97 beveling machines produce a result which meets all these basic requirements.

PULLMAX X97
The Pullmax X97 offers superior versatility.
With motorized adjustment of bevelling angles, choice of cutters, stationary or suspended operation, a full range of accessories, and pinpoint accuracy for a variety of shapes and sizes of work pieces.
The PULLMAX X97 fits the work piece rather than forcing the work piece to fit the machine.

Guide for beveling narrow steel strips
When narrow steel strips and flat bars, or similar material is to be beveled, there is sometimes a tendency for the width of the bevel to increase towards the end.
A guide can be provided for use with the X-97 on workpieces with parallel edges.

Beveling circular discs
When fitted with a circular control device the machine can be used for external beveling of circular workpieces, with diameters down to 450 mm. The device consists of a guide roller and adjuster. Settings are made on a graduated scale.
Spray Lubrication
The position of the machine can be adjusted to suit the shape, size and weight of the workpiece. It can stand in a stationary position, or it can be suspended for movement either in ordinary position or upside-down. If the machine is suspended, it can be made to move itself along the workpiece, instead of feeding the workpiece through the machine.
