In the production of heating tubes, the cutting (stock removal) process is a technically demanding step that significantly impacts the final product quality. This process includes precise measurement of pipe specifications, primarily ensuring each batch’s outer diameter varies by <2mm and wall thickness by <0.2mm, ensuring the cut does not produce burrs due to friction between the cutting tool and the cutting surface, controlling the cut width (<2.5mm) and length tolerance (±0.5mm), and implementing a rigorous inspection process. Each step is challenging and requires precise equipment and technology to ensure quality.
Firstly, measuring pipe specifications demands high precision, as any minor error could lead to the final product being non-compliant. Secondly, the cut quality needs to be exceptionally fine to avoid burrs, directly affecting subsequent processing and the overall performance of the product. Moreover, controlling the width and length tolerance of the cut is crucial for maintaining product consistency and performance. Finally, quality inspection after completing these steps is equally important to ensure each pipe segment meets strict quality standards.
In these technical challenges, the FUTAI TL-363 Automatic Pipe Cutting Machine demonstrates its exceptional performance. This machine is designed for cutting copper, steel, aluminum, and stainless steel pipes, catering to various materials for different heating tube production needs. It employs PLC control and a touchscreen interface for automated feeding, positioning, and cutting, significantly enhancing operational precision and convenience. Compared to traditional manual pipe cutting machines, the TL-363 significantly reduces labor costs while ensuring high-quality pipe cutting. Its unique cutting method ensures smooth, burr-free cuts and can handle pipes up to 6 meters long, supporting both short and long pipe cutting simultaneously. These features make the TL-363 crucial in enhancing the efficiency and precision of heating tube processing.
In summary, a precise cutting process is vital for ensuring the quality of heating tube products. The FUTAI TL-363 Automatic Pipe Cutting Machine not only addresses various technical challenges in the cutting process but also enhances the overall production flow’s efficiency and precision, ensuring high-quality standards for the final product. This makes the TL-363 an indispensable piece of equipment in heating tube production.
