Rotary tube cutting gains new ground: advances in technology help method keep pace with industry demands

摘要

As the features, modularity, and tooling of rotary tube cutoff machinery change and improve, the equipment's ability to be integrated into systems becomes more practical in terms of ability and cost.Rotary cutoff machines have always been used as a primary tube cutting tool in manufacturing environments. Their increased capacity to meet the industry's need for higher operating rates, improved part quality, and design flexibility now has allowed theequipment to become part of specific production systems.Over the past few years, cutoff machines have been integrated into systems that finish the cut tube automatically, including bending, end forming, and assembly, Some systems offer branching and quality inspection to meet the objectives of industry'sobjectives of improved quality, chipless cutting, and integrated operations.Industry is changing, requiring manufacturers to reduce operator involvement to improve their production throughput. The changes in rotary cutoff design are positioning the technology to meet these industry objectives.
