The Top 200 is Sir Meccanica's patented portable CNC orbital lathe, built to machine the internal and external surfaces of fixed, non-rotating tubular bodies that a conventional lathe cannot reach. It clamps into the pipe with an internal self-centring expansion system and orbits the tool around the workpiece.

Why orbit the tool instead of rotating the workpiece?

A fixed pipe in a plant cannot be spun, so a conventional lathe has nothing to turn. The Top 200 fastens onto the pipe and drives the tool in a circular orbit around it, machining bores, threads and faces on site — the reason a welded-in tube is re-machined without cutting it out and shipping it to a shop.

• 0-200 mm working diameter
• 50 mm radial, 100 mm axial stroke
• Standard and tapered threading, grooving
• CNC Wizard system, no G-code needed

Against a shop-based lathe, the Top 200 brings the machining to the pipe — the way a fixed, immovable workpiece gets re-machined on site.
