The Main Parts of the Pipe Cutting Machine
The main structural components of the machine tool adopt a robust steel welded structure. we applie advanced pre-welding treatment techniques, proven large-part welding procedures, standardized heat treatment, and high-precision machining processes. These integrated methods effectively eliminate residual welding stress while significantly enhancing the rigidity and load-bearing strength of the frame. As a result, the machine tool maintains long-term structural stability and performance under heavy-duty operating conditions.
Spindle Unit and Feed System Overview
The spindle box of the machine tool features a thick steel plate welded structure, reinforced with strategically placed internal ribs to ensure optimal rigidity. The spindle itself is made from high-strength alloy steel, undergoing heat treatment followed by precision grinding to achieve superior dimensional accuracy. Designed with a large through-hole configuration, the spindle is supported by imported high-precision tapered roller bearings. A hydraulic oil-based cooling and lubrication system maintains low thermal rise and high operational stability. As a result, the entire spindle assembly delivers excellent rigidity, thermal consistency, and high rotational accuracy—ideal for demanding cutting applications.
Gear Differential Feed & Servo-Controlled Cutting
The machine tool adopts a gear differential feed mechanism, enabling the cutting tool to feed longitudinally while mounted on a high-speed rotating cutter head. This design eliminates the need for workpiece rotation, effectively reducing machine vibration, extending tool life, and ensuring superior end-face roughness and perpendicularity—particularly critical for coupling production. The feed system utilizes a servo-driven mechanism, offering adjustable feed rates, high positioning repeatability, and stable motion control. Together, these features ensure the machine tool achieves both high cutting efficiency and consistent machining quality.
Clamping System
Rigid Hydraulic Chuck System: The rigid chuck utilizes a hydraulic cylinder to drive a pair of symmetrical swing arms via sliding blocks. This synchronized motion ensures uniform clamping force on both sides. The swing arms are mechanically linked to left and right sliders, which in turn actuate the rigid jaws to securely grip the steel pipe. Once clamping is complete, a locking cylinder engages to fix the sliders in position. This robust structure guarantees excellent pipe stability during high-speed cutting operations, minimizing vibration and ensuring precision.
Elastic Chuck System: The elastic chuck is actuated by four hydraulic cylinders controlled through a dedicated valve group. These cylinders connect to elastic jaws via a pull-plate mechanism, enabling flexible yet firm clamping of the pipe. The dual-chuck configuration further enhances stability during cutting, especially in long-pipe or high-precision applications. This system provides reliable holding force while accommodating slight pipe deformation, ensuring consistent cutting quality.
pipe Feeding Trolley and Positioning stopper
Servo-Driven Feeding Trolley (for Coupling Cutting Applications)
The feeding trolley system is powered by a high-precision servo motor, which drives the motion through a synchronous belt and ball screw assembly. To ensure smooth and accurate linear movement, the system incorporates high-rigidity linear guide rails. This configuration guarantees consistent feeding accuracy and operational stability during high-speed cutting cycles.
For secure material handling, the trolley features a hydraulic clamping mechanism actuated by a hydraulic cylinder. This structure firmly grips the steel pipe during feeding. To maintain synchronized motion between the dual clamping arms, a mechanical synchronization linkage is integrated between them. This ensures balanced clamping force and precise alignment, which are critical for maintaining cutting accuracy and minimizing material deviation.
Positioning Stopper
Mounted at the front end of the spindle box, the positioning stop plate serves as a mechanical reference point for precise pipe alignment during feeding. Its primary function is to ensure accurate axial positioning of the steel pipe before cutting begins, thereby enhancing dimensional consistency and machining precision.
In addition to its positioning role, the stop plate also acts as a protective buffer. In the event of a malfunction during pipe feeding—such as unexpected acceleration or misalignment—the stop plate absorbs impact energy from the incoming pipe. This built-in safety feature helps decelerate and halt the pipe smoothly, effectively protecting the machine tool from potential damage and maintaining operational safety.
Auxiliary equipment
The loading bench is composed of a pipe material stopper, a material taking device, a pinch roller and a specification adjusting device, etc. Its main function is to provide pipe material processing support and realize material transfer (that is, pipe material is sent into).
Lubricating System
The feed unit, rigid chuck, and servo feed mechanism utilize a centralized lubrication system. This system delivers oil to key lubrication points—such as linear guides, ball screw assemblies, and sliding surfaces—through an open-loop, total-loss configuration. Lubricating oil mixes with the coolant and is discharged after use. The electrical control system adjusts both the lubrication cycle and the oil volume at each point, ensuring optimal lubrication performance. A flow monitoring device is integrated and linked to the PLC, allowing real-time feedback to the operator regarding system status.
The spindle unit adopts a pressure-injection lubrication method. A motor-driven oil pump draws lubricant from the machine bed’s oil tank and delivers it to critical components such as bearings and gears within the spindle box. This forced lubrication system includes a filtration unit and an electronic flow switch to monitor oil flow at key points. The system promptly alerts the operator if any abnormality is detected.
The auxiliary engine bench employs a manual lubrication system to maintain effective lubrication at designated points. Additionally, the pipe cutting machine is equipped with a liquid level alarm to ensure timely replenishment and system reliability.
Emulsion Cooling System
The system integrates a high-pressure, high-flow emulsion cooling unit. Through internal coolant channels in the threading machine’s tool head and tool rod, cutting fluid is directly sprayed onto the cutting edge and machining zone. This setup rapidly cools both the tool and the workpiece, significantly extending tool life and enhancing machining quality. It ensures strong, targeted cooling during cutting operations while facilitating efficient chip evacuation to maintain surface integrity.
To support continuous operation, the system includes a chip extractor and a return pump. These components filter the emulsion and cycle it from the chip collection tank back to the cooling reservoir. A liquid level detection device is also installed to monitor coolant volume and ensure stable system performance.
hydraulic system
The hydraulic pump station operates as a fully independent unit, allowing flexible installation based on end-user requirements. It governs all hydraulic functions of the machine’s main engine and the loading platform.
A dedicated hydraulic valve stand, mounted on the headstock, integrates all solenoid valves, pressure-reducing valves, and other hydraulic actuators. These components precisely control the clamping and centering of the hydraulic chuck jaws, the positioning stopper, and the balance of both the feed slide and the tool holder.
Control System
The equipment integrates a SIEMENS numerical control system or PLC to support automatic, semi-automatic, and manual operation modes. This enables fully automated pipe processing with high precision and flexibility.
The operator panel includes mode selection switches for manual, semi-automatic, and automatic control, along with real-time status displays of machine operations. A user-friendly touch screen allows direct input of processing parameters such as pipe diameter, hook type, pipe length, cutting speed, and feed rate. The system also features an automatic tube counting function.
Designed for intuitive human-machine interaction, the interface simplifies programming, debugging, and maintenance—ensuring efficient operation and ease of use.
