    SAGE AND PPLICATIONS CCESSORIES The Goliath Guillotine is designed to cold-cut pipes, solids, and multi-stranded casing strings from 16” to 32” (41 to 81 cm) in diameter. The Goliath is easy to set up, even sub-sea, and is available with an autoclamp option and topside con- trols for remote operation.

  • Page 15: Machine Control

    ACHINE ONTROL The topside control unit (TCU) provides remote controls for up to three hydraulic drives. On the Goliath Guillotine, one drive controls the saw motion, and two are used for options: the autoclamp mechanism and the hydraulic autofeed. Instructions for operating the saw using the TCU are in Chapter 5.
