CP Series Heavy Duty Large CNC Pipe Cutting Machine

A. The Scope and Delivery of CP Model Large CNC Pipe Intersection Flame Cutting Machine:

1. Origin: CP series CNC Pipe Cutting Machine originates from small diameter Φ600mm series over 2 decades ago;

2. Applicable Pipes for Large CNC Pipe Cutting Machine:

And, with time going and development in the field of Pipeline Production, more and more larger pipes approach for being processed with beveling and cutting:

1) Workpiece diameter ranges from Φ2000mm to Φ3000mm;

2)  Pipe wall thickness increases correspondingly from 10smm up to 100mm;

3)  Workpiece length varies from several meters to 15m or longer;

4)  Material: Pipe are usually made from materials of carbon steel;

3. Applicable Cutting Technology: Correspondingly, considering the material and overall dimension of workpieces, flame cutting is more applied than plasma cutting in these large machines;

4.  Complicated forms of pipe cut and bevel are available from the machine: (Fig.1)

5. Finished large pipe cut from Wuxi JACK Φ3000mm Large CNC Pipe Intersection Cutting Machine: (Fig.2)

B. Technical Characteristics of Flame Large CNC Pipe Cutting Machine:

1. Mechanical System of Large CNC Pipe Flame Cutting Machine: (Fig.3)

1) Cutting torch carriage: To have safe and convenient operation in this large machine, cutting torch carriage is installed in the air in the elevating style, with max. height depending on max. diameter of workpiece;

2) In this way, various diameters within the specification of the machine can be cut with great ease;

3)  Aerial Passage and Lifting Platform of Wuxi JACK Large CNC Pipe Flame Cutting Machine: (Fig.4)

Shown in the above 2 photos, there is a passage of walking isle in the same length with the complete set of the large machine, as well as an extending and shrinking platform, so that people can get access onto top of the large pipe during cutting and beveling;

3) Friction Rollers for Workpiece Supporting and Revolving in Wuxi JACK Large CNC Pipe Cutting Machine: (Fig.5)

Workpiece can be hoisted onto and off such friction rollers without hinderance, labor saving and time saving;

2. Control System of the Large CNC Pipe Intersection Flame Cutting Machine: (Fig.6)

1) Dedicated use Industrial level computer, together with supplementary pendant station. All the embedded functions of operating system and HMI (Human machine interface) are developed on the basis of pipe cutting and beveling technique and technology. Outsider on pipe cutting can command operation  without difficulty;

2) Compatible with AutoCAD for Workpiece File into the machine: This means that, customer can make design on finished product of their workpiece with AutoCAD, and copy it into CNC directly, without the step of format conversion;

3) Add the pipe testing unit, so the control system knows how much distance the workpiece rotates, how many angle the workpiece rotate, and compare these data with the control system;

4) In this way, control system of the CNC Pipe Intersection Cutting Machine always knows the start point and the orientation of workpiece. Detection data needs to be exchanged and processed with the control system;

3. Supporting Tools for Running of the Large CNC Pipe Intersection Flame Cutting Machine: (Fig.7)

1) Flame piercing gun: Under the situation of thick wall pipe, a better practice to save time is to use plasma piercing gun to perforate hole before cutting (see the above photo). This can speed up operating process of CNC control pipe flame cutting to a large degree;

2) Hoist tool for cut-off scrap in Large CNC Pipe Flame Intersection Cutting Machine: (Fig.8)

a)  The operation of cutting hole in the pipe will inevitably produce scrap material of round shape;

b)  Had better to remove it before unloading the pipe off the Large CNC Pipe Cutting Machine. A suggestion is to use magnetic sling to take off the scrap.
