Tube/Pipe Rotary Head Cut-off Machines

Graebener-Reika, Inc. (GRI), a provider of machinery for processing tube, pipe, bar, plate and sheetmetal, will be displaying its new Reika Advantage Series Rotary Head machines for cutting tube and pipe in booth #S-3522 at FABECH 2013. "This new series of high productivity and capability machines features all the quality benefits of rotary head cut-off technology in a cost-efficient package with a user-friendly interface," said a company spokesperson. "The Advantage series has been engineered to handle a wide array of tube and pipe diameters and thicknesses, making it an efficient and economic choice across an array of applications."

As with Reika's existing rotary head solutions, the cutting tool rotates around a stationary tube or pipe versus lathe style cutting machines that spin the pipe. "This approach reduces eccentric load on the machine, allowing for faster cutting times and improving both cutting tool and equipment life. The Reika Advantage Series machines offer OD chamfer on both ends of the tube and produce accurate rectangular and perpendicular cuts with no surface damage," said a company spokesperson.

Currently available in two sizes - a two-slide cutoff with a 17 kW motor and a four-slide cutoff with a 24 kW motor - both offer high cutting speeds and feed rates. The Advantage Series machines can process tube diameters from 89 to 219 mm and wall thickness up to 20 mm.
