1) Nature: This is a special model in CP series Automatic CNC Pipe Intersection Cutting Machine, for producing cut and beveled pipes with diameter up to Φ1000mm, and length up to 15m;
2) With the 3 Axis control (X/ Y/ Z axis), this automatic equipment can cut out holes in pipes, or cut off designated length of pipe;
3) The 3 Axis in automatic CNC control pipe cutting: (Fig.1)
2. Background: Some customers have their workpiece in the style of thin wall pipes, which does not need to have slant edge beveling ang groove. The 3 Axis configuration machine is a good choice:
The small pipes being cut out from Wuxi JACK 3 Axis machine: (Fig.2)
Origin: CP3-1000/15 model was developed on the basis of CP3/600 series and CP3/1400 series automatic machines. With diameter fit between that of the two models, this model of CP3-1000/15 has its technical features overlapped with the two models of machine also:
The attached first photo and below photo gives working moment of Wuxi JACK CP3-1000/15 model Automatic Flame CNC Pipe Cutting Machine: (Fig.3)
From the photos we can see that:
1. Thermal Cutting Media: This machine on automatic CNC control pipe cutting adopts with Oxygen fuel flame cutting as its cutting technology. This is the mainstream in the field of pipe cutting, which has advantages of reliability, cost effectiveness and easy maintenance;
2. Cutting Torch: Compared with 5 Axis/ 6 Axis/ 7 Axis models machine, cutting torch in 3 Axis model has much more simple and concise mechanism, removing the element for swiveling and tilting:

1) Φ600mm is the up limit for necessity of chuck claw fixture. Beyond that, larger pipes in the machine do not need dedicated fixture to lessening its momentum;
2) Friction roller support in Wuxi JACK CP3-1000/15 model Automatic CNC Pipe Intersect Cutting Machine: (Fig.5)
3) Advantages: Compared with chuck claw type for small pipes, the friction roller holding and revolving unit has advantages of easy handling, which will reduce non-value added time of automatic CNC control pipe cutting operation.
Convenience is one of important factors to consider during development of the machine. Especially in recent years, with more and more automatic equipment not only applied in China, but also exported to overseas market, Wuxi JACK have many measures taken to make the machine adaptable for use internationally:
CNC of this automatic machine covers all the main languages in the world, including Chinese, English, Russian, etc.;
English Interface in CNC controller on pipe cutting: (Fig.6)
This caters on different specifications around the World: For example, we make 480V/ 60Hz/3 Phase for U.S.A customers, and 415V/ 50Hz/ 3 Phase for Indian market;
3. Transition between Metric System and Inching System:
To accommodate on using habit of customers in different countries, with metric system data at background of machine operation, the data present on CNC screen is in inching system when customers choose it;
