Recently, the automatic pipe cutting and deburring production line independently developed by Zhangjiagang Jiuqiang Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd. has attracted extensive attention in the metal pipe processing field, bringing new solutions for improving production efficiency and product quality in the industry, and its broad market application prospects have also drawn much attention.
As a senior enterprise in the industry, Zhangjiagang Jiuqiang Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd. has always been committed to the research and manufacturing of pipe processing machinery. The newly launched automatic pipe cutting and deburring production line integrates advanced technologies and innovative design concepts. In the pipe cutting section, Jiuqiang Machinery's self - optimized numerical control pipe cutting equipment is adopted. The operation interface is carefully designed to be extremely simple and intuitive. Workers can quickly get familiar with the operation after a short - term training. The equipment operates stably and efficiently and has a strong processing capacity. It can cut single pipes at a time or process multiple pipes simultaneously. The processing material length range is large, from 5mm to 5000mm, and it can set multiple specifications and quantities at the same time to achieve fully automatic feeding and pipe cutting operations for a whole bundle of materials.
In terms of cutting accuracy, the equipment is equipped with a PLC controller, a touch screen, an AC servo motor, and a C5 - class ball screw fixed - length feeding system. It can set 5 different cutting lengths and quantities at the same time and carry out continuous cutting in turn, with the length error strictly controlled within ±0.1mm. Each moving part of the equipment is equipped with an automatic oil - feeding lubrication system, effectively extending the service life of the equipment. The main machine adopts an AC - 355 hydraulic vertical turbine box, with a wide cutting range. It can cut round pipes with a diameter of less than φ150 and rectangular pipes of the same specification. For small and medium - sized pipes, it can saw and cut multiple pipes at a time, greatly improving the cutting efficiency. Whether it is a common stainless - steel pipe with a wall thickness of ≤3mm or a seamless steel pipe with a wall thickness of ≤8mm, the equipment can easily complete the cutting task. In actual production, the operator only needs to lift the whole bundle of metal pipes to the material rack, and the equipment can automatically complete a series of consecutive operations such as material selection, material turning, material feeding, and cutting according to the preset program.
After the cutting is completed, the pipes will automatically enter the closely connected automatic deburring machine. This deburring machine uses the advanced grinding technology independently developed by Jiuqiang Machinery and is equipped with a variety of different - sized grinding tools. Its uniqueness lies in its ability to intelligently and automatically adjust the grinding parameters according to the material, diameter of the pipe, and the burr conditions generated after cutting. For example, for pipes made of relatively soft materials, the grinding force is automatically reduced to avoid damaging the pipe surface; for pipes with a small diameter, more refined grinding tools are automatically selected to ensure that the burrs are thoroughly cleaned. During operation, the pipes pass through the grinding area at a constant speed through the automated transmission device, and the grinding tools rotate at a high speed to precisely remove the burrs inside and outside the pipe cut, making the cut reach a flat and smooth effect, fully meeting the strict requirements of the construction, furniture and other industries for the connection and appearance quality of pipes.
From the perspective of market application prospects, with the continuous expansion of the construction industry, the demand for metal pipes in various construction projects is increasing day by day. Jiuqiang Machinery's automatic pipe cutting and deburring production line can efficiently and accurately process construction - used pipes. Whether it is the steel pipes used for building scaffolding or the water supply and drainage pipes inside buildings, it can ensure accurate cutting dimensions and clean burr removal, greatly improving the efficiency and quality of construction and providing strong support for the development of the construction industry.
In the furniture manufacturing field, consumers have increasingly high requirements for the quality and appearance of furniture. This production line can provide high - quality pipe components for furniture enterprises. The pipes processed by cutting and deburring are convenient for subsequent welding, assembly and other processes, making the connections of furniture products more solid and the appearance more refined, helping furniture enterprises stand out in the fierce market competition.
In addition, in industries such as machinery manufacturing and automotive parts processing, the demand for high - precision and high - quality metal pipes is also strong. Jiuqiang Machinery's automatic pipe cutting and deburring production line can meet the strict standards of these industries for pipe processing. While improving production efficiency, it also reduces production costs and has a high degree of adaptability.
Once this automatic pipe cutting and deburring production line was launched, it quickly received positive feedback in the market. After a large - scale metal products processing enterprise introduced this production line, its production efficiency was greatly improved. Before the introduction of the production line, the manual pipe cutting and deburring processes were inefficient, and the daily output was limited. Now, the production line can operate continuously for 24 hours, and the daily processing volume of pipe cutting and deburring has increased several times compared with before. Taking the processing of a large number of rectangular pipes required for a construction project as an example, it used to take several weeks to complete the same number of orders, but now it only takes a few days, greatly shortening the order delivery cycle, effectively meeting the urgent needs of customers, and significantly enhancing the enterprise's market response ability.
At the same time, the product quality has also been significantly improved. In the past, due to factors such as the skill level and fatigue of workers in manual operations, there were large deviations in pipe cutting dimensions and uneven deburring effects. However, Jiuqiang Machinery's automatic pipe cutting machine has high cutting accuracy with extremely small length errors, and the deburring machine can also ensure that the burrs of each pipe are cleaned evenly, greatly improving the overall product quality. According to the feedback from customers in the furniture industry, the defective rate of products has dropped from the original 15% to less than 3%, greatly reducing the return and rework costs caused by quality problems, and significantly enhancing the enterprise's product reputation and market competitiveness.
In terms of cost, the efficient operation of the production line has increased the output per unit time, greatly reducing the fixed costs (such as equipment depreciation, site rental, etc.) allocated to each product; the improvement of product quality has reduced the waste of raw materials and rework costs caused by defective products; the automated equipment has reduced the dependence on a large number of manual workers, and the labor cost expenditure has decreased significantly. After calculation, within half a year after the enterprise introduced the production line, the comprehensive production cost was reduced by about 30%, and the profit margin was effectively expanded.
In addition, the commissioning of the automatic pipe cutting and deburring production line has greatly improved the working environment and reduced labor intensity. Workers no longer need to engage in heavy and repetitive pipe cutting and deburring work in a high - noise and high - dust environment. Instead, they turn to engage in work such as equipment monitoring and maintenance. The working environment has been significantly improved, and the job satisfaction and professional security of employees have been enhanced, which helps the enterprise attract and retain talents and lays a good foundation for the long - term development of the enterprise.
The relevant person in charge of Zhangjiagang Jiuqiang Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd. said: "In the future, the company will continue to increase R & D investment, continuously optimize the performance of the automatic pipe cutting and deburring production line, provide more efficient and high - quality pipe processing solutions for more industries, and continue to lead the new trend of industry development." With the continuous innovation and improvement of Jiuqiang Machinery in the technology of automatic pipe cutting and deburring production lines, it is expected to help more enterprises achieve a qualitative leap in the metal pipe processing field and promote the entire industry to a new stage of development.
