While businesses large and small enjoy the procession cuts and other benefits of Hautau’s line of Rotating Head Cutoff Machines, the company still enjoys the one-on-one connection that comes from custom-made pipe cutting solutions.
In fact, custom-designed pipe cutting machines and a commitment to personal customer satisfaction have long been Hautau hallmarks.
Examples of Custom Pipe Cutting Solutions from Hautau
For our individual custom projects, we like to visit the work site, get a handle on any potential issues, get a take on the client’s goals – and immediately get to work on a solution.
Here’s a brief sampling of our recent results.
Our client was experiencing long lag times between changeovers, and their scrap rate was a bit higher than they wanted. Adding to their quagmire was the need for each tube remnant to be hand-held and positioned for a re-cut.
Hautau designers and engineers quickly went to work to design, build and deliver a system that:
Our challenge for this project meant eliminating wasted tubing and to streamline their overall process. They’re cold-drawn tubes varied in length, which made their previous cutting method tough for true random lengths.
The Hautau solution was to install a custom-designed and built 70-foot hybrid tube cutoff lathe. The bulk of the tool came from the existing Hautau line, but we adjusted some aspects of it unique to this client.
Once the lathe was in place, the results were nothing short of stunning.
o Both ends of the tubing were chamfered on simultaneously on both ends.
o Trim cuts and remnants were automatically separated from the good cuts.
o Cut lengths could be adjusted based upon the length of the incoming tube.
o Tube optimization software was installed to limit the amount of scrap
o Diameter changeovers became fast for all tube sizes.
The client liked our work so much, they returned to Hautau for another of our machines to put in another facility of theirs.
