The chipless orbital cutting unit RTO 628 from transfluid provides clean cuts.
The RTO 628 from transfluid uses long-lasting blades to cut with the best possible results.
transfluid offers machines to cut tubes, in addition to machines that bend and form tubes. "There is always a cut before a bending and forming process, so it was a logical step for us to offer this option to our customers," said Stefanie Flaeper, Sales and Marketing Director.
The tube cutting machines are designed to provide high quality cuts, and the tubes can be used without further deburring, depending on requirements. Setting up the machine is easy, making it quick to make changes for different tube diameters. The performance is approximately 1,800 cuts/hour, depending on the length of the section and the diameter of the tube.
transfluid t cut machine peripherals make it possible to process, for example, small numbers with a loading table or as bundles with automatic feeding and separation. Tube processing straight from a coil is also possible. Straightening devices make sure that the tubes are properly formed.
The sorting of the tubes that have been cut can be done with different removal devices: they are grouped and removed at four or eight positions. If necessary, each individual tube can be labelled to make sure the tube is identified correctly at each stage of the process. When tubes are longer than the magazine, it is possible to use automated nesting with these machines. This means that when the machine is fed enough length and number of pieces, the tubes are cut with the minimum amount of waste.
The cutting process is done with cutting blades with an orbital movement. Throughout the process, the tube is pulled in a controlled manner from both sides at the cutting position and pulled apart at the appropriate time. This means most of the cutting is done with a rotating blade, and the last few hundredths of millimeter of tube thickness are pulled apart while the blade is still operating. Both the pulling moment and the timing of the cut can be selected with high accuracy in the control system. The pull and tear method can be used either with electric or hydraulic drives. These specifications, which can be found in the RTO 628 from the transfluid t cut series, improve the cutting results for different materials and diameters and result in shorter cycle time.
This type of machine is often included in a production unit. This makes it possible to feed the tubes directly into a complete manufacturing process, including the fully automated forming and bending steps.
As stand-alone machine or as part of a production unit, the transfluid cutting machines can be equipped with Industry 4.0 capability.
