Know more about different pipe cutting techniques
Pipe cutting is a category of pipe fabrication, where various techniques and tube forming machines are used to create cut pipe process. Find excellent quality pipe cutting machine in UAE at Bright Weld for every type of industrial projects.
What are the various Pipe Cutting Techniques?
The most used pipe cutting techniques are abrasive cutting,
cold sawing, lathe cutting, band saw cutting and shearing laser cutting. Every
process has its own benefits and manufactures chooses the one which suits their
industrial requirements such as pipe hardness, pipe texture, pipe thickness,
pipe toughness and requested product quantity.
·
Cold Saw
Cutting
In cold saw cutting, a cold saw with a well functioning
circular blade and a lubricant is used for cutting pipes. The circular blade is
fixed in place and operates without heat. As it does not require heat to
operate, cold saw do not leave heat affected zones. Therefore the products cut
via cold saw need only limited finishes. Cold saw only creates perpendicular
and square cuts. Most of the manufacturers use cold saws to several materials
at once and to cut lean walled pipes that require close tolerances.
·
Laser
Cutting
Laser cutting utilizes CNC controlled laser beams to cut
materials precisely. Laser uses heat to cut materials. Therefore they the
process does not create distortion, narrow kerfs and burrs. Laser cutting is
used to cut hard surfaces like titanium. The cutting is precise to cut
intricate markings such as hole patterns and number etchings.
·
Band Saw
Cutting
Band saw cutting is a general process to cut pipes and tubes
into an equally wide range of shapes. It is an e-cutting process used for
voluminous cutting. Band saws have band blades with many tooth contours. Band
saws rotate vertically or horizontally on two wheels. There are shuttles on
band saws which help to cut materials to vertically any length. The process is
automated and often uses CNC technology to work. Manufacturers use band saws
widely for cutting wide range of shapes such as I-beams, squares, channels,
rectangles etc.
·
Abrasive
Cutting
It is a manual cutting method using an abrasive saw or chop
saw to cut materials. The abrasive saw has an abrasive disc which cuts through
the material. They can cut tough materials like metals, concrete and tiles. Abrasive
cutting need little plan and the machine is simple to operate. But this process
is not heat tolerant and causes burring and kerfs.
·
Shearing
Manufacturers use high-speed computerized tube shear to
carry out tube shearing process. The machine uses two shear plates and ID
punches under intense tension. Tube shearing machine cuts all materials with
maximum limits and brink and they have high agility and production volume. It
is capable achieving high production rates and tolerance. Shorter the cut, higher
the production rate will be.
·
Lathe
Cutting
Lathe cutting works with round and thin diameter tubing,
making use of single spindle lathe machines. This is an older semi-automated
pipe cutting process, which take some time to set up. The lathe machines can
only process one product at a time.
Many industrial manufacturers use these pipe cutting
techniques to cut pipes into different shapes and sizes according to the
clients requirements. These techniques are popular with engineers and
manufacturers of industrial products made from brass, titanium or alloy. Pipe
cutting techniques are widely used as it is precise in large scales without any
disadvantages. To know about pipe cutting machines and their specifications,
