7-Axis 3000/12 Flame And Plasma Large Scale CNC Pipe Cutting Machine

A. Uniqueness of 7 Axis 3000/12 Heavy duty Oxy-fuel Plasma CNC Pipe Cutting Machine:

1. Application: The 7 Axis 3000/12 Flame and Plasma CNC Pipe Cutting Machine is “the Top Grade Biggest One” among all the standard models;

2. Technical Features of CNC-CP3000/12 Model Heavy duty CNC Pipe Intersection Cutting Machine:

1) Workpiece: Produces the largest dimension of pipes in terms of both diameter and length: Diameter up to 3000mm, length up to 12m, and pipe wall thickness up to 100mm;

2) CNC Control Axis: The electric control system of the machine has the complicated 7 axis.

B. Challenge on Developing 7 Axis 3000/12 Heavy duty Oxygen Fuel Plasma CNC Pipe Intersection Cutting Machine:

1. Control Technology on 7 Axis CNC System of CNC Pipe Cutting Machine:

 Is very sophisticated, which involves state-of-art techniques on:

1) Hardware of industrial computer integrated circuit;

2) Software of control operating program and operating system;

3) Ingenious and sturdy mechanical structure of the large machine;

4) Communication between cutting system and control system;

2. Our Strength: There are few companies in Chinese industry, who has real capability on designing and producing such kind of cutting edge machine on CNC control cutting heavy duty pipes, and Wuxi JACK is the leading company in this field;

3. Business Performance:  The latest export of this large model machine by Wuxi JACK was in the end of year 2018, a customer from Oil and Gas facility at Texas U.S.A purchased one set of it. Ever since, this set of 7 axis 3000/12 heavy duty machine runs in very good condition at customer’s site.

C. 7 Axis of CNC in Heavy duty Oxygen Fuel Plasma CNC Pipe Intersection Cutting Machine:

1. We have introduced the definition of 5 axis: X/ Y/ Z/ A/ B axis, its control action, in the product section of “5 Axis 3000/12 heavy duty model”;

2. The V Axis and W Axis in 7 Axis CNC Pipe Cutting Machine:

On the basis of 5 Axis, the additional 2 Axis in the 7 Axis model, compared with the counterpart in 5 Axis model refer to:

1) Movement of Cutting Torch along Radial Direction of Pipe:     V Axis

2) Movement of Turning Rolls along Radial Direction of Pipe:    W Axis (For adjusting distance of the 2 sets of Rollers);

3. Here we take note that, the turning rolls for holding pipe, of which the W axis works on, in the control logic of 7 axis CNC machine, works in the similar working principle as Welding Roller Bed;

4. Sketch on V Axis and W Axis of CNC Pipe Intersecting Cutting Machine:

Please see below sketch, indicating on the V axis and W axis, in Wuxi JACK 7 axis machine. It is labeled with arrow in red color for V and W axis:  (Fig.1)

5. Related Machine: When making edge beveling on pipes, this machine has similar function as Edge Milling Machine. Meanwhile, with workpieces turned from steel plate to metal pipes, the control system and mechanical system grows more complicated.

D. User Friendly Design in Wuxi JACK Heavy duty Oxygen Fuel Plasma CNC Pipe Cutting Machine:

1. Working Site of Heavy Duty CNC Pipe Cutting Machine:

For the purpose of getting convenient operation on this large size machine, as can be seen from below photo in purple color, at back of the 10s m long horizontal beam, there is an overhead platform passage for operator walking, facilitating monitoring on pipe cutting this large scale machinery with great ease: 

Overhead passage for operation and service on large machine: (Fig.2)  

2. Easy Operation: Also, for the purpose of convenient operation, at end of the passage platform, a retractable and elevating platform is installed, so that during running of the Oxygen fuel flame and plasma CNC pipe cutting, operator can walk onto the large diameter workpiece pipe, for ease of close up operation. Please check attached video for observance.
