Rotating-Head Tube Cutoff Lathe

Smaller manufacturers who are considering buying a tube beveling and chamfering machine often ask the question:   why can’t I simply buy pre-cut tubing and focus my production on finishing?   Do I really need an automatic tube cut off machine, or is it more cost-effective to buy my tubing elsewhere?   Of course, the answer to these questions depends on your individual situation, but generally, investing in a rotating head cutoff machine for cutting and finishing processes pays for itself very quickly in increased productivity. Investing In A Rotating-Head Cutoff Machine While it is true that a Rotating-Head Cutoff Machine represents a significant investment, the benefits you receive from such a system often far outweigh the initial cost.   With a rotating-head system, you never have to worry about the quality of your pre-cut tubing, because you control the manufacturing process from start to finish.   This is becoming a significant consideration as more and...

Companies that need to process hollow metal tubing are always looking for a better way to cut and finish their stock.   Fortunately, a Rotating Head CutOff Machine is a great improvement over the standard lathe when it comes to cutting metal tubing.   Because rotating head machines hold the metal tube stationary and rotate the cutting head around it to perform tube cutting and chamfering, there is no issue with vibration as there can be with a lathe machine setup.   How Are Rotating Head Machines An Improvement Over Lathes?   In the past, a lathe cutting machine was the most common one to find in shops that process metal tubing.   The lathe head rotated a cutting tool, allowing workers to place the metal tubing in the machine and cut it to the specified length.   There were a few problems with this method, however.   A lathe, spinning at high speeds, is hard to control.   Workers had to manually load the tubes into a holder and bring them t...

One thing that gets plenty of attention in the industrial world is worker safety.   Skyrocketing costs for medical care and workers’ compensation insurance have prompted studies into how to improve worker safety.   Many company owners also simply want to do the right thing and protect their workers from mishaps on the job.   Because of this, more and more industrial business owners are considering ways to make their workplaces safer for themselves and the people who work for them. This is where installing an Automatic Tube CutOff Machine can transform a workplace from unsafe to safe and productive.   By investing in a machine that automatically loads, handles and unloads metal tubes, owners of businesses that specialize in cutting tubes can make their workplaces safer and more productive.   How A Rotating-Head Cutoff System Makes Your Workplace Safer   Increased safety in an industrial workplace is often a product of reducing contact with material. ...

There are many options on the market for any company considering investing in a tube beveling and chamfering machine.   If you are in the market for an automatic tube cut off machine, and you need a system that can handle carbon or HSLA tubing up to three inches in diameter, the Hautau SC30 can offer you a superior process that can include automatic deburring and chamfering as well as other end-finishing processes. How Does The SC30 Handle High-Speed Tube Cutoff? Almost any traditional lathe machine can cut metal tubes.   The problem is that many machines are simply not built to withstand the intense vibration and movement that occur with traditional lathe processes, and this shows up in the final product.   Vibration, over-rotation and movement during cutting can produce ends that are chipped, imprecise or even destroyed. With the Hautau SC30 tube shear cut-off machine, high-speed tube cutoff, even for larger tubes of 3 inches in diameter, becomes simple and produ...

  When you want to process a large batch of metal tubes in a single run, there are various ways of getting the job done.  Of course, metal tubes can still be cut by hand, but this is a time-consuming and laborious process, and most manufacturers have now turned to automation to get their large batches delivered quickly.  These manufacturers have the option of choosing from several different types of cut-off machines, each with their own set of “pros” and “cons.”  The basic division between types of tube cutting machines are the movement of the head:  stationary or rotating. Stationary Head Cutting Machines A stationary head cutting machine does exactly what the name implies:  holds the cutting head stationary while the tubes move into position, either by being manipulated by hand or by a machine.  The cutoff process centers around this stationary cutting head, so moving the tubes into position becomes the focus of the process.  The benefits of thi...

One of the most effective ways to speed up the manufacturing process is a pipe beveling solution. With an automated beveling solution, you can say goodbye to beveling by hand and longer downtime. Beveling machines also mean: A far safer environment for beveling Reduced operating costs Pinpoint accuracy on your beveling What is Beveling? Essentially, beveling involves forming an angle at the edge of a pipe or tube. It’s common for beveling to be used to prepare Tubing or Piping for welding, but it can also be used to smooth or deburr the jagged ends for safety and aesthetic purposes. Hand Grinding vs. Plasma Cutter vs. Beveling Machine Each process for beveling has its advantages. We’ll compare them here. Hand grinding. This can be effective if you’ve got merely a few pipes or tubes. However, the process of hand grinding is a dirty one. Also, it can be very inconsistent, time consuming, expensive and dangerous. Also, the quality of the work wi...
