Tailor Made Short Length CP5-2000/6 CNC Pipe Intersection Cutting Machine

A. Function and Specialty of CP5-2000/6 Heavy duty Flame CNC Pipe Intersection Cutting Machine:

1. Function: CP5-2000/6 is a tailor made model of CNC Pipe Cutting Machine. Its model refers to that, this 5 CNC control Axis equipment can cut and bevel workpiece with diameter up to Φ2000mm, and length 6m;

2. Specialty: It is not a common used model. Generally speaking, the larger the diameter of pipe, the longer the length. So, Heavy duty models machine usually have valid horizonal cutting stroke of 9m~ 12m;

3. Meaning: Meanwhile, when customers produce pipe/ tanks with length not exceeding 6m, this model of CP5-2000/6 is a good choice: It can not only save investment budget 10 ~ 20%, but also occupy much less floor area in customer workshop, which is very important for on site layout arrangement of production line involving machines for CNC control pipe cutting.

B. Cutting and Beveling Technique in CP5-2000/6 Heavy duty Flame CNC Pipe Cutting Machine:

1. The 5 Axis control in Heavy duty CNC Pipe Intersection Cutting Machine: (Fig.1)

As shown in the above sketch, the X/ Y/ Z/ A /B axis in the machine realizes cutting torch movement along the 3 dimensional direction for cut off, as well as tilting and 360° swiveling for beveling;

2. Compared with 7 axis series models machine, the 2 axis short in 5 Axis model is V axis for lateral movement of cutting torch, and W axis for lateral movement of friction support rollers:  (Fig.2)

1) So, in 5 axis model machine, positioning along periphery of pipes is by means of Y axis commanding pipe rotation;

2) The finished cut pipe of large diameter, delivered from Wuxi JACK Flame CNC Pipe Cutting Machine: (Fig.3)

3. Applicable Cutting Way in CNC Pipe Cutting Machine:

1) In theory, both Oxygen fuel flame cutting and plasma cutting can be applied in the field of pipe thermal cutting;

2) In practical application, considering pipe wall thickness/ cutting cost/ cutting requirement, Oxygen fuel flame cutting is applicable for all ranges of pipe size, from light duty to Heavy duty models, including this 5 Axis 2000/6;

3) Meanwhile, plasma cutting is more applicable for small to medium duty, such as CP5-600 series machine;

4) The Oxygen fuel flame cutting in Wuxi JACK Flame CNC Pipe Intersection Cutting Machine:  (Fig.4)

C. Operating Tips on CP5-2000/6 Heavy duty CNC Pipe Intersection Cutting Machine:

As a kind of Heavy duty equipment for CNC pipe intersect cut, the CP5-2000/6 model needs several assistant tools for its smooth running. Examples are as below but not limited to:  

At American customer facility: Operator on large tanks of large models: (Fig.5)

1. Hoist tools for Workpiece Pipe in Heavy duty CNC Pipe Cutting Machine:

1) Due to its usual large size, heavy weight and round shape of pipe, need to take special precaution on loading and unloading onto and off the machine;

2) A suggestion is slings of rope: Wire rope for heavier pipes, and nylon rope for lighter pipes;

2. Double ladder for Checking Large Pipe of the Heavy duty CNC Pipe Intersection Cutting Machine:

1) Sometimes it is necessary to have inspection or operation on the top section of large pipe, when it is still laid on the machine;

2) By this condition a double ladder is a good choice.
