What do you need to prepare for a new automatic pipe cutter?

The appearance of automatic pipe cutting machine has realized the new idea of steel pipe holding motionless and knife circling cutting. It effectively solves the problems of high energy consumption, machine jitter, low cutting efficiency, short tool life, low production rate, poor quality of steel pipe end face, unable to determine the size and so on. Automatic pipe cutting machine can automatically realize the steel pipe feeding, positioning, clamping, saw blade feeding, loosening, conveying finished products, tail output and other functions, and automatic circulation, so as to achieve continuous automatic processing, greatly improve the work efficiency, provide continuous mass production solutions for enterprises.

So what should the user prepare when he/she buys the automatic pipe cutter and receives the machine?

The first thing is that you can not only plug it in but also use it. It also has its own set of hydraulic system, so it is necessary to add hydraulic oil, please buy the appropriate hydraulic oil according to the manufacturer's suggestion.

Second is the blade

Figure 2  Blade (saw blade)

As the main processing method of cutter blades is indispensable, usually the manufacturer will give away a few blades for free, but because of high-speed rotating blade cutting process, the probability of wear will be very high, so the trouble before use to prevent knife damage suggests corresponding models more blades, to prevent wear away the phenomenon of because of the blade after lead to stop production.

Finally,is the cutting fluid

Figure 3  Cutting Fluid

Cutting fluid is essential in the processing industry. It can contribute to cutting. It has the following benefits:

1. Cleaning

In the process of metal cutting, the cutting fluid is required to have a good cleaning effect. Remove the chip, wear debris, iron powder, oil stains and sand, prevent the contamination of the machine tool, workpiece and tool, keep the cutting edge of the tool or grinding wheel sharp, so as not to affect the cutting effect. For oil-based cutting oils, the lower the viscosity, the stronger the cleaning ability, especially for cutting oils containing kerosene, diesel and other light components, the better the permeability and cleaning performance.

2.lubricating

Lubrication in the process of cutting fluid in cutting, can reduce the rake face and chip, after the knife between surface and friction between the processed surface, form part of the lubricating film, so as to reduce the cutting force, friction force and power consumption, reduce the friction between cutter and workpiece blank portion of the surface temperature and tool wear, improve the cutting performance of the workpiece material. In the grinding process, after the grinding fluid is added, the grinding fluid penetrates into the grain-workpiece and grain-debris of the grinding wheel to form a lubricating film, which reduces the friction between the interfaces, prevents the wear and debris of the abrasive edge, reduces the grinding force and friction heat, and improves the durability of the grinding wheel and the surface quality of the workpiece.

3.Cooling
The cooling effect of the cutting fluid is through the convection and vaporization between the cutting fluid and the tool, chip and the workpiece, the cutting heat away from the tool and the workpiece, so as to effectively reduce the cutting temperature, reduce the thermal deformation of the workpiece and the tool, maintain the hardness of the tool, improve the machining accuracy and tool durability. The cooling performance of cutting fluid is related to its thermal conductivity, specific heat, heat of vaporization and viscosity. The thermal conductivity and specific heat of water are higher than oil, so the cooling performance of water is better than oil.

4.Rusting

In the process of metal processing, there will be high temperature change and then cooling, workpiece and environmental media may be oxidized. Used cutting fluid components may react; The sludge produced can corrode tools, workpieces or lathes. Rusted workpiece can not meet the surface quality required by customers; Otherwise, tool rust will accelerate the loss and increase the cost.

Have all three of these things ready. After the purchase of the machine according to the manufacturer's operation manual correct filling (cutting fluid needs to be mixed with water in proportion) and installation debugging can be used.
