RC Rotating Head CutOff Machines - Hautau
Our rotating-head or rotary-head cut-off machines are the most advanced way to cut, face and chamfer tubes in one operation. Many conventional tube cutting systems are not precise and usually leave sharp tube ends, but our cutting machines produce burr-free tubes and maintain close tolerances. Hautau cutoff lathes hold the tube stationary during the cut, so even bowed and bent tubes can be processed. The rotating head spins around the tube, and servos move the tools for cutting and chamfering.
How the Hautau SC30 Tube Shear Cut-Off Machine Increases Productivity
There are many options on the market for any company considering investing in a tube beveling and chamfering machine. If you are in the market for an automatic tube cut off machine, and you need a system that can handle carbon or HSLA tubing up to three inches in diameter, the Hautau SC30 can offer you a superior process that can include automatic deburring and chamfering as well as other end-finishing processes. How Does The SC30 Handle High-Speed Tube Cutoff? Almost any traditional lathe machine can cut metal tubes. The problem is that many machines are simply not built to withstand the intense vibration and movement that occur with traditional lathe processes, and this shows up in the final product.
Tube Cutting and Chamfering - Hautau
The Hautau RC80 Tube Cutting and Chamfering Machine is the largest of the RC line, with a 9.1 diameter capacity. If you cut and process steel tubes, the first step of your process is to load tube bundles and cut the tubes to precise lengths. The next step is chamfering the tube ends for safe handling and assembly. And you may need deep bevels for welding, radius cuts for press fits or even grooves for snap rings.
Hautau Offers a Better Way for Conveyor Idler Rolls
Automated conveyors are essential for manufacturers, retailers and distribution centers throughout the world. It’s not unusual for the conveyors to literally have thousands of powered rollers and belt-driven idlers for smooth sorting and moving of products. With a traditional manufacturing method, the idlers require several steps for production. After the tube has been cut to its specific length, it’s then manually loaded onto a separate machine that will form the groves – which are crucial to advancing the product along the line. A Better, Easier, and More Efficient Approach The Hautau method, though, is anything but traditional.
Automatic Tube Cutoff Machine - Hautau
The Hautau length control system allows the operator to program up to ten cut lengths, and then choose the quantity and length combination with the shortest remnant. Additional material savings comes from the ability to face the leading tube end instead making a trim cut, and from the ability of the tube feeder to handle very short remnant short pieces. And the first cut piece is within tolerance without adjustments. With the Hautau automatic tube cutoff machine, setup time for different tube diameters is fast a repeatable.
The Pros and Cons of Cut Off Machine Types
When you want to process a large batch of metal tubes in a single run, there are various ways of getting the job done. Of course, metal tubes can still be cut by hand, but this is a time-consuming and laborious process, and most manufacturers have now turned to automation to get their large batches delivered quickly. These manufacturers have the option of choosing from several different types of cut-off machines, each with their own set of “pros” and “cons.” The basic division between types of tube cutting machines are the movement of the head: stationary or rotating.

Tube OD: 0.75 inch to 5.0 inch Wall Thickness: .02 inch to solid bar Cut Lengths: 0.75 inch min / 480 inches max • Multiple cut lengths per tube • Random lengths are automatically measured and optimized The 30HP cutoff lathe headstock has ample power for fast cutting, and includes constant surface speed (CSS) control to maintain optimum production rates.
Benefits of an Automatic Tube Cut-off System
Hautau, a renowned manufacturer of tube cutting machines, has consistently delivered innovative technologies to reduce human resources and increase automation for the tube processing industry. Responding to a request from a customer, Hautau delivered a custom tube cut-off system that would transfer the cut-up tubes into special transport carts without requiring human intervention. There are numerous benefits of this fully automatic tube cut-off system, as discussed below.

What are the benefits of combining tube cutting and chamfering into one operation?If you currently saw a lot of tubes, and those tubes need to be deburred or chamfered after cutoff, you know that the extra tube handling and equipment setup can take more effort than the cutting operation. And if your production runs are short with frequent changeovers, having to setup the tube chamfering machine for each size will reduce your productivity. Our rotating-head tube cutoff lathe holds the tube stationary for cutting, then chamfers both tube ends before releasing the tube. This combines the cutting and chamfering into one operation and eliminates any secondary chamfering operations.
Tube Beveling and Chamfering
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.
Dual Blade Shear Cutting Machine - Hautau
RC60 Rotary Cutoff Machine Advantages: The nick-and-shear tube cutoff method is a proven system for high-production cutting of thin-wall tube. Here's how it works: The tube is clamped in precise dies that conform the the profile of the tube. A scarf blade extends, cutting a small section to weaken the top of the tube. The shear ram extends to cut the tube and eject the slug. The scarf and shear rams have high-speed hydraulic drive, with no cams or linkage to wear out.
