Automatic cold saw pipe/bar cutting machine

Cutting units COMMERCIALLY available standard cutting machines may not be able to entirely cope with increased demands and special requirements within finishing applications. Bültmann cutting equipment for finishing applications is individually tailored to customer requirements. By using standard cutting modules and handling equipment, the lines and machines are customised and individual solutions are created. For the sawing technology Bültmann will use its own products or proven components from notable suppliers, and combine them with Bültmann handling equipment. Sawing machines available from Bültmann include hot saws (stationary and flying); layer saws (stationary and flying); multi-head saws for fixed lengths; and combined circular cold saws/abrasive cutting units for difficult-to-machine materials.

JET Machines, India, has been manu- facturing cold saw pipe/bar cutting machines for ten years. The company’s JE-485 AT-S automatic cold saw pipe/ bar cutting machine features auto feed (bunch cutting), auto clamping, auto cut piece ejecting, PLC and servo control. It is programmable up to five different lengths, with length accuracy within ±0.1mm. The clamping source and cutting feeding source are both hydraulic. The machine can be connected with SCADA server through Ethernet. Several of the machines can be controlled by the SCADA server at the same time. The user at the server can create programs for the cutting schedule; within each program the user can feed in five different cutting sizes, and each size can have a counter for complete data collection. The user can define cutter rpm and

feed rate for each program, which are saved with PLC/HMI for later recall. The server assigns a program to each machine. Cutting counting can be monitored on the server for each machine in real-time.
