Haala Industries uses the latest technology of high definition plasma cutters and robotic welders to provide customers with specialized products that enhance time and consistency of the finished product. As such when the need for bar chamfering arose Haala reached out to the technological leader in the field of automated chamfering - MSI.

Steve Haala, owner of Haala Industries, says "MSI has a proiven track record of building quality machines and we wanted to go with the best. We have two machines, the C3A and C5H Chamfermate®, and they are both extremely reliable and robust."

The Chamfermates are used to chamfer threaded bar stock to build tie rods and anchor bolts. These tie rods and bolts are used to hold concrete sections together as well as other construction applications.

The ChamferMate® Model C3A is a compact PIPE BEVELING machine/chamfering machine that features a rigid one-piece ductile iron vise, top plate and spindle housing, linear ball rails, a heavy-duty three-bearing spindle and an electronic variable-speed drive to provide years of dependable service. The ChamferMate® C3A is commonly used as a deburring machine.

With a 3 or 5 inch maximum OD capacity, solid bar, bolts, pipe, and tubing can be machined or deburred easily and efficiently.
