Industry Knowledge

In the plastic pipe processing industry, the quality and efficiency of pipe end chamfering are crucial for ensuring product precision and meeting delivery deadlines. However, when using conventional double-head chamfering machines to process like ABS, PVC pipes, a persistent challenge arises: due to the direct cylinder feeding mechanism, the resulting chips are overly long and easily become tangled around both the workpiece and the cutting heads. Not only is cleaning these entangled chips time-consuming and labor-intensive, but it also significantly reduces product quality and processing efficiency.

Pain Points of Traditional Cylinder Feeding

▶ Excessively Long Chips Prone to Entanglement:

The direct cylinder feed method doesn’t effectively control the depth and frequency of each cut, resulting in long, sheet-like chips that readily wrap around the rotating cutter head and workpiece.

▶ Increased Cleaning Difficulty:

Frequent machine downtime is required for manual chip removal, increasing labor costs and production delays, negatively impacting factory productivity and meeting delivery schedules.

▶ Challenges in Maintaining Product Quality:

Long, entangled chips can cause uneven cutting forces and unstable feeding, compromising chamfer precision and surface finish. This leads to lower overall product quality and reduced customer satisfaction.

The Innovative Solution: Servo Motor Multi-Stage Feeding

After extensive testing and technological refinements, we have adopted a servo-driven multi-stage feed approach. Combined with a specially customized cutter head design, this system ensures that chips are produced in shorter segments, significantly reducing the risk of entanglement. This innovation delivers clear benefits in real-world production:

1. Shorter Chip Lengths:

By precisely controlling the depth and speed of each feed, chips are cut into shorter segments, greatly minimizing tangling issues.

2. Enhanced Precision and Consistency:

Servo-controlled feeding is stable and programmable, ensuring that every chamfer is produced with exact dimensions and angles, ultimately improving product uniformity and quality.

3. Reduced Downtime for Cleaning:

With fewer entanglement occurrences, cleaning becomes simpler, allowing for extended uninterrupted production runs and improved operational efficiency.

4. Extended Tool Life:

Minimizing chip entanglement and uneven cutting forces helps reduce tool wear, resulting in longer tool life and lower processing costs.
