This model is the most applicable way of “Complicated” control for the workpieces of Φ600mm diameter series:
1) Because the 6th Axis of V axis is for moving cutting torch along pipe radius direction, which is more useful for large diameter pipe:
2) Illustration on X/ Y/ Z/ A/ B Axis in 5 Axis CNC Pipe Cut Machine: (Fig.1)
3) Illustration on V Axis in 6 Axis/ 7 Axis CNC Pipe Intersection Cutting Machine: (Fig.2)
1) Flame and plasma 5 CNC axis control pipe cutting is more applicable for small to medium diameter workpieces, such as this 5 Axis 600/9 model;
2) 6 Axis model machine is more applicable for medium to large diameter workpieces, such as 6 Axis 1400mm series;
3) 7 Axis model machine is more applicable for large diameter workpieces, such as 7 Axis 3000mm series;
3. Machine Investment: Besides, with one less control axis, the total quotation of the 5 axis control machine can be reduced around 5%~ 10%;
For these reasons, flame and plasma 5 Axis CNC Pipe Cut Machine is often selected by customers in the realm of small pipe cutting.
1. The Longest Service Year: In the application field of CNC control pipe cutting, this grade of 5 Axis 600mm specification is also one of the “oldest” models together with 3 Axis Φ600mm and 5 Axis Φ1400mm: After the successful development of 3 Axis Φ600mm, the Φ600mm specification 5 Axis machine was developed on that basis, representing “High end product” of equipment;
From the above photo we can see that:
1) At that moment the 5 Axis machine was cutting out slant angle beveling on rim of the small pipe, the corresponding active control axis of cutting torch was B axis: Cutting torch swing along pipe axial way;
2) Workpiece pipe support in this Φ600mm 5 Axis CNC Pipe Cut Machine is by means of chuck claw, together with moving supporting racks: (Fig.4)
3) The cutting torch movement along pipe length direction, which is X axis, is realized with movement along horizontal mechanical frame of the 5 Axis cutting machine.
Below is brief on HMI (Human machine interface) of industrial computer of Wuxi JACK 5 Axis CNC cutting machine: (Fig.5)
1) Grooving：Key in the groove angle of pipe at the 0°, 90°, 180° and 270° position respectively, pipe can be cut while varying groove automatically in this 5 Axis machine；
2) Key in of the pipe length：key in dimension of the pipe；
3) Key in the cutting direction：CNC can identify finished product or scrap during programming automatically in this 5 Axis machine；
4) Demo of cutting speed automatically: This is for performing flame, plasma, idle running in 5 Axis CNC Pipe Intersection Cutting Machine；
5) Storage of cutting data: There are data units built in at CNC for storing and modifying cutting program during pipe cutting operation；
6) Confirm of cutting figure: Spread of the cutting profile into 2 dimensional shape for observe through critical dimension；
As summary, the backstage control software in 5 Axis model machine is very similar to that of 6 Axis model, but a large distance away from that of the 3 Axis. Which means, for customers who purchased the 5 Axis CNC Pipe Cutting Machine, it is relatively easy to upgrade it into 6 Axis control without much difficulty in terms of both hardware and software. But not so for 3 Axis model machine.
