Automatic cold saw pipe/bar cutting Jet Machines, India, has been manufacturing 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, and cutting counting can be monitored on the server for each machine in real-time. SCADA can be integrated with SAP for further automation, such as coordination with the store department relating to which machine will cut each pipe size and in what quantity.
