Tube Cutoff Machine performs chipless, thin wall processing.
Press Release Summary:
RC 60-based machine uses chipless rotary cutoff process, where cam rollers act as chamfer tools to produce finished edge on both ends of tubing. It processes mill-length, 40 ft tubes with wall thickness up to 0.125 in. into drive shafts from 18-60 in. long. Optimal utilization of mill length tube is achieved by cutting secondary lengths from any remnant over 18 in., which can then be processed in future run. Overhead bridge allows for 100% length inspection after cutoff.

Hautau Tube Cutoff Introduces Flexible Chipless Mill Length Thin Wall Processing Capability
Brookville, IN-Hautau Tube Cutoff Systems has developed a unique chipless rotary cutoff process where cam rollers act as chamfer tools, producing a finished edge on both ends of the tubing.
This cutoff machine is based on the popular RC 60 rotary machine and processes mill-length 40-foot tubes with a wall thickness up to 0.125 into drive shafts from 18 inches to 60 inches in length. Rotary cutoff wheels are used instead of carbide tooling.
The overhead bridge allows for 100% length inspection after cutoff. Primary lengths are placed on an angled runout table and roll down to a pair of bumpers that elevate the piece to a programmable position. Each tube is inspected and moved onto the next stage.
Maximum utilization of the mill length tube is achieved by cutting secondary lengths from the remnant, which can then be processed in a future run. For example a 54-inch remnant can be cut into two 26-inch pieces for the next run. Any remnant over 18 inches can be cut for future batching.
This capability is automatically programmed into a run, and dramatically reduces scrap. Secondary lengths are stored until needed.
Hautau Tube Cutoff Systems has been designing and building tube cutoff systems for more than 30 years, and is recognized as a world leader in Rotary Cutoff technology.
