Plasma cutting machine SMS Engineering manufactures

a number of ways to suit the customer and can be completed with automatic loading/ unloading with the possibility of working commercial bar length of 6m. The machine can work up to Ø120mm round tubes and square/rectangular tubes maximum 80x80mm, with or without deformation in steel, stainless steel and aluminium. The machine is as accurate as a laser machine, but it requires lower investment. The best advantage of the plasma machine as regard to the traditional punching machine is that you can program it and avoid the exchange operation of the toolings and corresponded costs for each different mould: different shapes of holes and hole slots can be performed on the same tube. The plasma-cutting machine is very easy to use. In order to program it, you must be acquainted with the CAD-CAM systems but just a short period of training is required. The machine is suitable for manufacturers of shelving, radiators, stairs, bed nets, ladders, parts for cars, furniture and similar tube products for different sectors.

and sells tube cutting machinery. Its machines performall finishing operations on metallic tubes using hydraulic units, similar to small presses, which when linked to a hydraulic power pack and positioned on a steel surface such as a rig or a plate, can punch, flatten, swage (reduction of the tube ends) and cut the tube. The tube and, consequently, all its machining, cover a wide range of fields: it can be  found in baby articles production (perambulators, push chairs, school desks), home appliances (clothing dryers, domestic ladders, heaters, radiators), building production (scaffolding), auto- motive production (car safety bars, seat adjusting levers, head rests), leisure time (swings, deckchairs, camper accessories, tents), garden items (grass cutters, wheelbarrows), and furniture (chairs, shelves and office furniture). The machine working is provided through the manual feeding of the tube, which is closed by the gripper, and then by pressing the start cycle. The machine makes all the operations and the finished tube comes back to the starting point where it is unloaded. Using this machine you can work bars of 3m in length with the possibility of cutting the tube. The machine can be supplied in
