Automatic tube and pipe cutting machines
RTA 35 and RTA 75 – in a modular design
The tube and pipe cutting machines RTA 35 and RTA 75 cut tubes and pipes chipless and with low burrs.
The diameters handled range from 2 to 76 mm with wall thicknesses between 0,4 and 3 mm.
Various materials can be treated, e. g. steel, highgrade steel / stainless steel, Al-alloys, other nonferrous metals, etc.
The knife-lifetime depends on the materials to be cut, however, ranges between 20 and up to 30.000 cuts.

The supply of the raw materials to the cutting machine, in most cases 6 m rods, is automatically performed either via a ‘bundle loader’ or an ‘inclined table magazine’.
Using the bundle loader a whole tube bundle will be used placed in belt loops. The individual tube rods are separated and supplied automatically to the cutting machine.
Cutting the tubes / pipes with our cutting machines RTA 35 and RTA 75 is a chipless process.
In order to make a maximum use of the individual tubes 2 or 3 different lengths are cut out of one tube. The cut pieces are received by a sorting unit and placed – sorted by length – into a magazine.
The first cut and also the final piece are sorted out separately. If requested, one can operate the machine without first cut – this material saving possibility is freely selectable via the operator’s display.
We can produce different lengths of tube parts – nearly any size is possible.
When working with coils – e. g. copper soft or hard, al-alloys, steel – an equalized speed between uncoiler and cutting machine is of great importance. Only then a smooth working cycle can be guaranteed. This is solved by using a specially developed equalizing roll, which actuates a driven uncoiler.
The tubes will be straightened before cutting. 18 straigthening rolls are available for this purpose. The rolls – which are hardened and polished – calibrate the
tube from a slightly oval diameter into the nominal diameter. If requested soft copper tube material can also be hardend during straightening.
After cutting the tubes with the cutting machine a direct interlinking with further processing machines can be made., as e. g. closing the tube ends, punching of the outer tube, etc.
