Background of this Blog on CP7-3000/12- 7 Axis Large Scale CNC Pipe Cutting Machine:
1) Business Case: On Dec.20th , 2020, a set of Wuxi JACK designed and produced CP7-3000/12 CNC Pipe Intersection Cutting Machine was exported to an American customer: MORROW facility at Midland City Texas, was accepted at customer site. It is the ever largest CNC Pipe Cutting Machine in the manufacturing industry worldwide;
2) This blog will have brief introduction on topics of the CNC Pipe Intersection Cutting Machine:
a) Function and Applicable Workpiece of the CP7-3000/12- 7 Axis Large CNC Pipe Flame Cutting Machine;
b) Benefit of the CP7-3000/12 Large Size 7 Axis CNC Pipe Intersection Cutting Machine;
c) Technical Superiority of the machine
A. Function and Applicable Workpiece of CP7-3000/12 7 Axis Large CNC Pipe Flame Cutting Machine:
1. Function of the 7 Axis Large Scale CNC Pipe Cutting Machine:
1) CNC Control Axis: This machine has 7 axis CNC control, so its cutting torch has 7 degrees of freedom fully guaranteeing its delivery of pipe cutting with challenged tasks;
2) This 7 Axis machine can:
a) Length Cutting: Cut off pipes into required length;
b) Through Hole Cutting: Cut holes of any type: Perfect round and or elliptic in the workpiece, with any necessary sizes;
c) Edge Beveling: Cut out straight and or oblique beveling on edges of pipes;
5) The cutting kerf delivered from the machine can be either in straight or slant edge, depending on customer demand;

6) Technical Advantage: Welding bevel can be machined by way of cutting torch revolve and swing in the same pace together with hole cutting, which fully guarantees on high accuracy and precision of the hole cutting and beveling to the best degree, as well as raises productivity to the largest extent.
2. Workpieces Applicable for CP7-3000/12 - 7 Axis CNC Pipe Intersection Cutting Machine:
Overall dimension range of workpiece pipes applicable for this Large Scale CNC Pipe Cutting Machine is:
1) Diameter of pipes is in the range of Φ600mm ~ Φ3050mm;
2) Pipe wall thickness is from 3mm to 100mm. Of which flame cutting scope is 6mm~ 100mm. and plasma cutting scope is 3mm ~ 20mm;
3) Total length of pipes can be from 2000 mm to 12200 mm;
4) Max. weight of pipes can be up to 50Ton.

B. Benefit of CP7-3000/12 Model Large Size 7 Axis CNC Pipe Intersection Cutting Machine:
1. Background of Purchasing CP7-3000/12- 7 Axis Large CNC Pipe Flame Cutting Machine:
1) Customer plant MORROW is at Midland City Texas, U.S.A. Major industry of this city is Oil and Gas Processing;
2) Purpose: This set of CP7-3000/12 Large machine exported to MORROW facility is for fabricating and manufacturing on large pipes, so that next step of fabrication/ welding/ assembly can be performed;
3) Before delivery, customer had on site check and acceptance on this 7 Axis large machine at Wuxi JACK facility;
2. Value Added from CP7-3000/12 Large Scale CNC Pipe Cutting Machine for Customer:
1) Traditionally, without the CNC Pipe Cutting Machine, pipe cutting and beveling were fulfilled manually by operators, which is time consuming, difficult to manage on its accuracy, and dangerous, especially on large diameter pipes;
2) Besides, only a few veteran operators with rich experience can deliver pipe cutting after long time practice. And many types of cutting kerfs were really a challenge for customers;
3) Now, with this Wuxi JACK delivered powerful CP7-3000/12 model 7 axis Large Scale CNC Pipe Cutting Machine, pipe cutting and beveling can be implemented automatically, delivering high precision accurate cutting in consistent manner;
4) Besides, operator of the machine can command the skill of operation with much short time and less effort, being relieved from strenuous work.

2. Advanced Technique: Insiders in the field of pipe cutting know that, control system of the CNC Pipe Cutting Machine involves:
1) Advanced technique industrial computer,\;
2) customized software;
3) Rigorous control mechanical elements;
4) Strictly managed process control;
5) Smooth communication among control systems, mechanical unit and cutting torch unit of the machine, especially 7 Axis models;
3. Long Time Development: Design, manufacture and commissioning of the 7 axis Large Scale CNC Pipe Cutting Machine is fairly complicated and challenging. It had consumed over 10 years from concept design to practical application;
4. Wuxi JACK Achievement: With strong engineering capability, rich experience and teamwork, Wuxi JACK developed the ever largest 7 Axis CNC Pipe Intersection Cutting Machine with months of hard work, and exported to Overseas market;
5. This advanced technique 7 Axis CNC Pipe Cutting Machine takes the lead in the Manufacturing Industry from the date its put into practice.
