Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pipeline cutting, in particular to a high-flatness pipeline cutting device. Background Art
[0002] Pipe cutting device is a mechanical equipment specially designed for cutting, segmenting or cutting pipes into specific shapes and sizes. It usually consists of a fixing and clamping system, a cutting tool, a drive and control system and a drive and control system.
[0003] During the cutting process, existing pipe cutting devices often cause the pipe to shake due to the insufficient stability of the clamping system, making it difficult to achieve high flatness requirements on the cut surface, resulting in obvious unevenness and jagged edges. Traditional saw blades or simple flame cutting methods cannot accurately control the distribution of cutting energy, resulting in uneven heating of the cut surface, large thermal deformation, and seriously affecting flatness.
[0004] Therefore, in view of the fact that the existing pipe cutting device has an unstable clamping system that causes the pipe to shake and the uneven cutting surface, and the traditional cutting saw blade or simple flame cutting has difficult to control the energy distribution, and the uneven heating causes thermal deformation, which further leads to the uneven cutting surface, we have proposed a high-flatness pipe cutting device to solve the above problems.
