Diary of Tube Events

Allied Tube and Conduit THERMATOOL has announced the installation of an Alpha Mach 3 cutoff system for Allied Tube and Conduit, a brand of Atkore International. Allied Tube and Conduit, located in Caxias do Sul, Brazil, is an industry leader in the manufacturing of galvanised steel tubes and pipes, electrical conduit, metal framing systems and building components serving the construction, electrical, fire and security, and mechanical and automotive industries. The power of the Mach 3 Flying Cutoff makes it possible to cut high tensile strength tube and pipe for the most cost effective and reliable cutting solution. Although shearing through high tensile materials, Thermatool Alpha Shears are made of high speed tool steel, superior to any other type of commercially available material, resulting in long blade life. Excellent blade life decreases the number of times the Alpha blades need to be changed and reduces maintenance, or downtime. Decreasing downtime allows Allied Tube and Conduit to continuously operate its mill longer to manufacture profitable products. At full speed, up to 500ft per minute, the Mach 3 Flying Cutoff’s cut accuracy of ±0.039" allows products to be shipped right from the mill, resulting in less secondary handling and increasing profitability. While lowering secondary handling expenses the Thermatool Alpha Mach 3 Flying Cutoff produces ready to ship precision cut products directly to the customer. The Thermatool Mach 3 Flying Cutoff purchased by Allied Tube and Conduit was installed on a new mill and is capable of cutting 1008/1010 low carbon steel with wall thicknesses between 0.028 and 0.250" and a cut tolerance of ±0.039" at mill speeds up to 500ft per minute.
