Chapter 3
Introduction to the
Goliath Guillotine
Chapter 3, Introduction to the Goliath
Read this chapter carefully to become familiar with the
components and features of your Goliath Guillotine pipe
saw.
USAGE AND APPLICATIONS
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 controls for remote operation.
The Goliath Guillotine operates on hydraulic power, with
two heavy-duty hydraulic motors requiring a power source
with 15 gpm flow at 1500 psi (standard) or 15 gpm @ 2000
psi (autoclamp).
Figure 3-1 illustrates the components of the standard Goliath Guillotine. Figure 3-2 shows the saw with the optional
autoclamp. The autoclamp arm closes under hydraulic
power and holds the pipe in the pipe saddle during cutting.

Chapter 3, Introduction to the Goliath: Machine Control
MACHINE CONTROL
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.
Figure 3-3. The topside control unit (TCU) has controls for the cutting and optional clamping and feed
drives on the Goliath Guillotine. It has inputs for
hydraulic power and separate outputs and controls for
up to three drives.
For use with the TCU, the Goliath is fitted with a hydraulic
connector bulkhead, as shown in Figure 3-4 and Figure 3-5.
