Chipless cut-off machine

THE TCM10 from Ravni Technologies straightens and cuts steel tubes (brake tubes or gas oil tubes), copper tubes and coated tubes, from 4 to 10mm OD. The standard line includes a single or double motorised decoiler which is synchronised with the machine. The defect controller or a junction controller is usually placed before the straightening machine. The tube is pulled up to 180m/min thanks to the caterpillars, and is clinched into two sets of jaws and cut with a wheel. Production rate is 18 parts (4m-long) per minute, and the tolerance level is ±0.5mm over 4m. After the tube has been cut, the bars can be discarded in many ways. The scraps fall directly into a special box, and the main lengths are evacuated in front of the machine after going through several stages

where they can be tied. Other lengths can be evacuated on the rear of the cutting bench. All functions are programmable on the screen in conversational language, and the line is managed by a CNC and an industrial PC. Ravni Technologies includes

training and set-up of its machines, all over the world. Ravni Technologies – France
