6-Axis 1400/6 Flame And Plasma Automatic CNC Pipe Cutting Machine

A. Specialty and Application of 6 Axis 1400/6 High Speed Plasma and Flame CNC Pipe Intersection Cutting Machine:

1.  Feature of  6 Axis 1400/6 model CNC Pipe Cutting Machine:

The product can be viewed as a set of precise control equipment with compact size:

1) Dimension: This High Speed CNC Pipe Cutting Machine has short length and medium height;

2) Applicable Workpiece Pipe: This model of machine is applicable for fabricating on small and medium size pipes: The Max. overall dimension of pipe is with diameter Φ1400mm and 6000mm length;

3) CNC Control Axis: With 6 Axis (X/ Y/ Z/ A/ B/ V) Axis embedded, which are responsible for high speed accurate positioning the welding torch in 3 dimensional spatial area, this 6 Axis 1400/6 configuration machine delivers high precision cutting kerf and welding groove in consistent efficient manner:

C. Development Background and Trend of 6 Axis 1400mm Specification Plasma and Flame CNC Pipe Intersect Cutting Machine:

1. At the early stage of Oxygen fuel CNC Pipe Cutting Machine, 5 Axis is complex control for medium size specification of Φ1400 diameter;

2. In recent years, with the development of control technique, the 6^th and 7^th Axis of V Axis and W Axis is introduced, to control both cutting torch and supporting rollers movement along radial direction of pipe;

3. Such 7 Axis control technique is especially useful for large scale models machine on CNC control pipe cutting: Φ2000mm and above;

4. Meanwhile, for medium size of Φ1400mm specification machine model, 6 Axis is the best choice for high precision control of pipe cutting and beveling process.

D. Suitable Cutting Technology in 1400mm series Plasma and Flame CNC Pipe Intersection Cutting Machine:

1. Overall Advanced Technique: The high degree of accuracy from CNC control pipe cutting need not only state of art control system, but also mechanical system and cutting system;

2. Cutting Method: Of which cutting system has 2 options: Oxygen fuel flame cutting, or plasma cutting, or both. This is the reason we name the equipment Plasma and Flame cutting for pipes;

3. High Cutting Precision: For the medium range diameter of Φ1400mm, compared with Φ2000mm and above, (For example Φ2500mm or Φ3000mm specifications), usually with the decrease in diameter, so is its thickness of pipe wall. And plasma cutting system is a more suitable choice for precise cutting and beveling within this range of pipe size, to be cut and beveled on pipes;

4. Plasma Cutting Power Supply Equipped with the Machine: As the plasma power supply equipped in CNC Pipe Cutting Machine, there are several suppliers both in China and abroad (for example, Chinese HUAYUAN, U.S.A Hypertherm) who can produce good quality plasma power supplies of various specification, for cutting metal plates from as thin as 3mm to 25mm. This fits perfectly with thickness range of pipes in Φ1400mm diameter pipe cutting;

5. Flame Cutting on Thick Wall Pipes: On the other hand, thanks to the in phase collaboration of control system and mechanical system, if adopted with Oxygen fuel flame cutting unit, this high speed cutting machine on various thickness pipes can also deliver ideal cutting and beveling outcome for customers.
