Tube Bevel Cutting Machine

ACME LT 6025EK Tube Bevel Cutting Machine

Welding is one of the key procedures of the metal fabrication industry, and a bevel-cutting seam would significantly increase the welding quality of the metal parts. however, a traditional laser cutting machine that can cut ±45 degree angles would be very expensive for the users. Not to mention the maintenance and repairing complicity of the 5-axis bevel cutting heads.

Now Acme proposed a new solution to the metal tube bevel-cutting industry. A new 4-Axis laser cutting system that can cut more than 90% of the bevel-cutting jobs, while maintaining the ease of use of a normal laser cutting head. By adding an extra gantry above the laser head, and upgrading the control system. Now ACME realized making a large tube Bevel cutting machine at a much more reasonable price and fulfill most of the bevel-cutting needs.

Such modification can be attached to most ACME tube-cutting machines, however, to gain the best performance, it would be more useful on larger metal tube-cutting machines, LT-6025EK for example. As the best-selling type, this machine has many key advantages. Here are some of the key features of this type.

1, The 250*250 Square chuck

Unlike most 220-round-whole chucks in the market, Acme developed 250 square chucks to improve its holding capacity of it. As shown above, it can fit in most of the metal tubes/profiles in the market. Along with the new bevel-cutting features, such a machine can accomplish most of the cutting needs in the metal fabrication industry. This chuck is R&D by ACME, as the core component of a laser tube cutting machine, it grants many key advantages to the tube cutting machine. Including the highest dustproof level; intelligent adjustable clamping force; double holding power provided by the eight cylinders.

2, The Floating support system

The Floating support system is another key element of a tube bevel-cutting Machine. It follows the tube up and down to provide continuous supportive force to the tube/profiles. When cutting square/rectangular tubes and profiles, a traditional nylon wheel cannot keep the center of the tube/profile steady in the middle. By introducing this floating support system, the machine can improve the cutting accuracy further. And when dealing with heavy tubes/profiles, these floating supports also provide extra supportive force to the tubes/profiles, and distribute the weights evenly to avoid the tubes/profiles bending by their own weight. This floating support has the potential to further attach to an auto-loading system and further boost productivity.

3, Customized control system

To make the double Y-axis cutting head work with the new tube bevel-cutting Machine, a new control system is specially designed by Shanghai Friendess electronic Technology CO.ltd (FScut system's developer). On top of the FScut 5000 BUS system, it introduces many extra features, such as a real-time machine monitor that allows the operator to monitor the whole working status of the machine. And it can also be monitored remotely.

This control system is co-designed by ACME and Friendess, based on the rich past experience of cutting large tubes/profiles, and serves ACME exclusively. For those who met bevel cutting the 1st time, this system significantly decreased the complexity of operating. Now it has Chinese and English versions.

4, Basic parameters

Below are some basic parameters for this LT-6025EK tube bevel-cutting Machine, regardless of the key advantage mentioned above, it is still an extraordinary machine in the tube/profile-cutting industry.
