Rotating Head Cutoff Machines Offer A Wide Range of Finishes

An automatic tube cut off machine is a great way to save time and money on your factory floor, but when it comes to investing in such a system, some business owners are hesitant. What often convinces them that an automatic rotating head system is the best investment for their business is when they see the finished product these machines produce. Compared to a traditional lathe setup, a Tube Beveling and Chamfering Machine offers a much finer and higher quality finish for metal tubes.

How Can An Automatic Tube Cutoff Machine Improve the Quality of My Product?

An automatic tube cutoff machine does more than efficiently cut and process metal tubing. It also offers a much cleaner, better way to finish metal tubes without nicks, burrs or chips.

When a metal tube is processed in a traditional lathe setup, the tube is moved into a cutting field, which stays stationary. This means that the tube is subject to vibration as it makes contact with the cutting surface. This vibration can lead to a great deal of nicking, gouging and other impacts to the metal tubing, producing a less-than-perfect finish. Furthermore, many older lathe setups rely on worker skill to ensure precision cuts. While some workers are capable of making such cuts consistently, human error is always a concern. Even the best workers will eventually slip and cut a tube slightly longer or shorter than needed, or err with the creation of a bevel or chamfer. Once stock is cut incorrectly, it becomes waste, and this can drive up your costs at a time when owners need to save money.

The opposite is true with a servo-driven automatic tube cutoff setup. Not only does the setup eliminate the problem of vibration by holding the metal stock stationary and rotating the cutting head around it, but it also takes care of the “human error” factor. The servo-driven cutting and finishing head is programmed prior to the cutting process, so each cut is made to the highest possible degree of accuracy, each and every time.

In addition, the servo-driven, programmable head offers another benefit. Because the entire load of metal stock can be loaded at once, the computer-based system can help you sort your stock for optimum cutting schedule and with minimal waste. What once took workers a great deal of time to calculate is done in seconds with your automatic cutting system.
