Complicated Control Claw Fixture CNC Pipe Intersection Cutting Machine

A. What is Complicated Control Claw type Thermal CNC Pipe Intersection Cutting Machine?

1.       Here the complicated control Claw type Thermal CNC Pipe Cutting Machine refers to the CNC Pipe Cutting Equipment with:

1)       Pipe diameter in the scope of 80mm ~ 600mm, which is small size;

2)       The pipes are clamped into chuck claws, instead of on friction rollers;

3)       Quantity of control axis in CNC is 6: A/B/X/Y/Z/V;

4)       For definition on specific meaning of the above mentioned 6 axis, please check parameter table at the bottom of this product section, or the product section of 6 Axis 1400/12 Thermal CNC Pipe Intersection Cutting Machine;

2.       Mechanical System and Workpiece Fixture in Claw type CNC Pipe Intersection Cutting Machine:

1)       As can be seen from the attached first photo and below small picture, mechanical system and workpiece fixture in this range of CNC Pipe Cutting Equipment is different from those of 1400mm specification and 3000mm specification CNC Pipe Cutting Machine:

2)       The workpiece is secured into a set of chuck claw fixture in Claw type CNC Pipe Cutting Machine, instead of on the friction rollers:  (Fig.1)

3)       This is because in this range of 600mm specification Thermal CNC Pipe Cutting Machine, the diameter range of pipes is from 80mm to 600mm, which is suitable to be held in the claw type chuck fixture;

4)       Correspondingly, mechanical system of Claw type CNC Pipe Cutting Machine is also different from that of the friction roller type, to cater for pipe cutting and beveling operation in the CNC Pipe Cutting Equipment. Please check below 2 photos for compare:

4.       Mechanical Frame of 1400mm and 3000mm Diameter Specification Friction Roller type CNC Pipe Cutting Machine:  (Fig.3)

B. Application of Complicated Control Claw type Thermal CNC Pipe Cutting Machine:

1. Below illustration gives applicable finished workpieces delivered from complicated control Claw type Thermal CNC Pipe Intersection Cutting Machine:  (Fig.4)

2.       It is a group of small diameter pipes and tubes, which need to be processed with relatively complicated jobs of cutting and beveling. This can only be realized with the 6 axis complicated control Claw type CNC Pipe Cutting Equipment.

C. Uniqueness of Complicated Control Claw type Thermal CNC Pipe Intersection Cutting Machine:

1.       The 6 Axis 600/12 Flame and Plasma Profile CNC Pipe Cutting Machine is the smallest in size, among the branch of complicated control Oxy-fuel CNC Pipe Intersection Cutting Machine;

2.       Besides, 6 axis is the up limit in terms of control axis quantity, for this diameter range of Thermal CNC Pipe Cutting Machine:

3.       It is not necessary for the 7^th axis of W axis as below in such small size Claw type CNC Pipe Intersection Cutting Machine:  (Fig.5)

D. Background of Claw type CNC Pipe Cutting Equipment:

1.       In product family of CP series CNC Pipe Intersection Cutting Machine, claw type CNC Pipe Cutting Machine has the same meaning as 600mm diameter specification. This is the first specification branch of CNC Pipe Cutting Machine put into market;

2.       Around 20 years ago, at the early stage development of CNC Pipe Intersection Cutting Machine, 600mm series was the 1^st developed and had the most extensive application: It can cut and make beveling on the pipes with diameter up to 600mm, which can meet majority demand from customers;

3.       The trend is, usage of Profile Oxy-fuel Thermal CNC Pipe Cutting Machine was started from small diameter pipes, gradually extended to large size of 1400mm range and 3000mm range.
