Score and Pull-Apart Tube Cutting Machinery
The Oakley Score and Pull-Apart Tube Cutting Machinery is designed to provide an efficient method for cutting straight lengths of tubing into exact finished lengths. The machine can be used to cut different kinds of materials, from stainless steel and aluminum, to incoloy, to copper.
One of the distinctive elements of the Tube Cutting Machinery developed by Oakley is its score and pull-apart cutting system that avoids the deformation of the tube in correspondence with the cut edge caused by the common orbital cutting systems.
What are the benefits?
Thanks to this innovative technology, the Score and Pull-Apart Tube Cutting Machinery offers your business several advantages such as:
- production increase, because of the precision of the cut without the necessity of further operational steps. Standard collets are used to clamp the tubing, and this makes changing diameters very simple and fast. Cutoff length is also easily adjustable
- costs reduction, since there is less tool consumption and less material waste, allowing your company to even lower cleaning and disposal costs
- improvement of the quality of the finished product, avoiding the production of defective elements such as the usual “curl” at the end of the tube
How does it work?
This particular system allows the tube to be cut without any kind of deformation on the cut edge because the tube is not cut by blades that insist orthogonally on the wall of the tube. It is, instead, managed by the combined action of a scoring tooth (made with a three-edged tool), which progressively removes material along a circular section of the cylindrical wall, thinning it, and a clamp that detaches the tube segment.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES
A Bead Roll can be attached to the Oakley Score and Break Tube Cutting Machinery, which is a device that creates a groove in the tube that can be used to secure the lower sealing washer in place.
Moreover, according to your specific needs, it is very easy to adapt the setting of the machine when you have to change the diameter of the tube’s cut.
