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.
