Hautau Tube Cutoff Systems has developed a unique chipless rotary cutoff process where cam rollers act as chamfer tools, producing a finished edge on both ends of the tubing.
This cutoff machine is based on the popular RC 60 rotary machine and
processes mill-length 40 ft. tubes with a wall thickness up to 0.125
in. into drive shafts from 18 in. to 60 in. in length. Rotary cutoff
wheels are used instead of carbide tooling. The overhead bridge allows
for 100% length inspection after cutoff. Primary lengths are placed on
an angled runout table and roll down to a pair of bumpers that elevate
the piece to a programmable position. Each tube is inspected and moved
onto the next stage. Maximum utilization of the mill length tube is
achieved by cutting secondary lengths from the remnant, which can then
be processed in a future run. For example a 54 in. remnant can be cut
into two 26 in. pieces for the next run. Any remnant over 18 in. can be
cut for future batching.
