1. Application: The model of CNC-CP14000/12: 3 Axis 1400/12 is the early stage of its product group: Flame and Plasma High Speed CNC Pipe Cutting Machine, for cutting pipes/ tubes into designated lengths, without the function of slant angle beveling;
2. Working Axis: The attached 2nd sketch and below demonstrates the longest history of this 3 Axis High Speed CNC Pipe Cut Machine. You can find from it that the cutting torch only has capability of lateral movement and elevation, without rotation and swing:
1. Wide Use: Due to the applicative workpiece diameter range: From Φ300mm to Φ1400mm, this model of Plasma Oxy-fuel High Speed CNC Pipe Intersection Cutting Machine also sees fairly extensive application;
2. For example, for making steel structures of pipe and tube, or pipe truss, etc. Under which condition it does not matters much whether there is bevel on the edge of the pipes or not, for the following up butt joining step in equipment of Welding Manipulator (Welding Column and Boom) and Welding Rotator (Welding Roller Bed), either for assembly or welding purpose;
3. Function: This means, the corresponding CNC Pipe Intersection Cutting Machine does not compulsorily necessary to have rotating axis of A axis and B axis. Instead, just linear movement of X/Y/Z Axis in 3 direction is fine;
4. Pipe Wall Thickness: Usually, at these worksites of Flame Plasma CNC Pipe Cutting Machine, thickness of pipe to be cut does not exceed 8mm.
If it is does not need beveling or chamfering on pipe rim, the 2 most salient advantages with this 3 Axis Plasma Oxy-fuel High Speed CNC Pipe Cutting Machine are:
1) Price Reduction: With all the other preconditions and specifications at same level, the quotation of 3 Axis version Flame Plasma CNC Pipe Cutting Machine is over USD10,000 lower than that of the 5 Axis counterpart;
2) Here “counterpart” refers to that, all the other specifications of the CNC Pipe Cut Machine, for example, max. tube diameter, length, etc. are all in the same range. This is the model of 5 Axis 1400/12 CNC Pipe Intersection Cutting Machine.;
3) Financial Benefit: Such price difference on 3 Axis versus 5 Axis CNC Pipe Intersection Cutting Machine equals to around 10~ 15% less machine investment;
1) Advantage: The operation of the 3 Axis CNC Pipe Cut Machine is much simpler than that of the 5 Axis and 7 Axis models;
2) Strong Points: This means: Shorter period of operator training, shorter cycle time in daily work, and less risk of mal-operation and mal-function of the Flame Plasma CNC Pipe Cutting Machine;
3) Variable Cost Save: Combined together, all of these factors can reduce period and variable running cost of the Flame Plasma CNC Pipe Intersection Cutting Machine greatly;
4) Summing up, under the precondition of meeting customer demand, the 3 Axis High Speed Flame Plasma CNC Pipe Cutting Machine is a very cost effective and tailor made version for customers.
