When metal tubes are cut, the process involves two steps: the cut to length and the bevel or chamfer at the end where the cut takes place. Both of these steps are important, but beveling and chamfering the end of a tube makes it useful for a wide range of applications.
A tube beveling and chamfering machine gives the operator the power to fashion the end of a tube in any shape or type needed. Beveling refers to the slope of the tube’s end, and chamfer refers to the connection between beveled tubes. Tubes can be beveled and chamfered to allow them to connect to each other through threading, locking or any other type of connection the operator chooses. These cuts can be created in different directions, different shapes, different sizes and different numbers to create unique locking mechanisms for any type of tube ends.
The benefits of beveling and chamfering are numerous. Beveled edged that are chamfered to fit together provide a secure connection that makes tubes stronger. Beveled edges that fit together tightly can often be made leak-proof and head-proof, allowing these tubes to be used in a wide range of ways. Further, beveled, chamfered edges are much less likely to have burrs or chips, making them much safter for users to handle. Finally, beveling and chamfering the edges of tubes allows them to be used in a number of applications rather than a single one. These edges can be adapted for a wide range of uses. Beveling and chamfering take metal tubes from basic, utilitarian objects to finely-crafted tools that can be used for any number of purposes.
Of course, having a machine that creates precise bevels makes processing tubes much easier and creates a product that is much more useful. Servo-driven chamfering devices can be programmed to make precise cuts, giving the operator a tube end that is exactly the dimensions and shape needed. A rotating-head automatic tube cut-off machine will allow the user to create beveled and chamfered edges that vary from one cut to another without even stopping to reload the machine. Complex runs can be programmed with the touch of a button, allowing the user to create a wide variety of cuts in a single batch of tubes. This flexibility means that operators can create an unlimited number of variations with their metal tube process runs, meeting any customer’s specifications quickly and easily and saving both time and money in the process.
Hautau creates automatic tube cut off machines for a wide range of applications. Our machines not only feature servo-driven beveling and chamfering but also automatic loading and unloading selections, a wide variety of tube lengths and even packaging options to allow users to handle the metal tubes as little as possible. With our machines, you can load your tubes, stand back, and receive the fully processed and packaged bundles at the other end!
