Ring-shaped pieces are cut, and longitudinal tensile, hoop tensile, etc. tests are performed on these pieces. It relates to systems that enable the cutting of small pieces for manufacturing. The invention specifically describes a sample tube cutting machine that can automatically cut samples using a cutting blade. It is related to. 10 Current Technique Today, GRP pipes used in sewage systems and similar places undergo testing after production. A ring-shaped piece approximately 30 cm long is cut for use. 15 of these pieces are then used. Small pieces are cut for performing tests such as longitudinal tensile, hoop tensile, etc. In the previous technique, tensile tests were performed by manually cutting the pipe with a spiral cutting machine. This is happening. Workers are exposed to a lot of dust during hand-operated cutting. This can cause harm to the individual. It negatively affects their health. In the known state of the art, during stone cutting with a stone cutting machine, the stone may explode, a piece of pipe may fly off, 20 Workplace accidents such as stones coming into contact with the body are observed. In the current state of the technology, the cutting process with a stone cutting machine is time-consuming. Sample per unit time. The number of cutting operations is small. This increases the labor required for sample cutting. In the known state of the art, errors in stone cutting operations due to worker error. Samples can be cut to the specified dimensions. This results in both wasted material and increased labor costs. 25 This is the reason. As a result of research conducted in the literature, various information regarding the aforementioned pipe cutting systems has been found. These structures are encountered.

These structures are designed solely for the purpose of better understanding the subject and without any limiting influence. It is explained in a way that will not be created. Structural principle; The sample pipe cutting machine in question (1), main body (10), cutting unit (20), side housing 20 cover (30), sample tube (40), sample clamping system (50), control panel (60), top sample The compression system (70) consists of the machine stand (80). Figures 1 and 2 show sample pipes. It shows a perspective view of the cutting machine (1). The main body (10) is the vertical structure that carries the cutting unit (20) and the control panel (60). The cutting unit drive element (11) is located in this part. The cutting unit drive element (11) cuts 25 It enables the up-down movement of the unit (20). The mentioned cutting unit (20) is the structure that enables the cutting of the sample tube (40). Cutting unit (20), cutting motor (21), cutting blade (22), telescopic front guard cover (23), movement slide (24), upper safety switch (25), lower safety switch (26), fixed housing cover (27) and water spray It consists of (28) systems. The telescopic front guard cover (23) prevents work accidents when the cutting blade (22) is in operation. To prevent this, it keeps the blade inside the guard. The up and down movement of the cutting motor (21) moves. It performs this movement of the cutting motor (21) on the slide (24). The cutting motor is powered by the drive element (11). It is also powered by the upper safety switch (25) and the lower safety switch (26). The upward and downward movement of the cutting motor is restricted. The fixed guard cover (27) that goes around the aforementioned cutting blade (22) is attached to the cutting blade. It is used to prevent workplace accident risks caused by cutting blades by preventing contact. To prevent pipe dust generated during the process from escaping, a fixed protective cover is installed. (27) Water spray system (28) located inside is used. Water spray during cutting Water is sprayed from the nozzles (28) in the system. A CTP sample tube (40) with a height of approximately 30 cm was placed on the machine stand (80). The cutting is done by positioning the cutting tool. This is done to prevent workplace accidents that may occur during the cutting process. The side cover (30) is positioned around the place where the sample tube (40) will be positioned. 15 Cutting is performed with the side guard cover (30) closed. Side guard cover safety switch (31) It enables or stops the system by detecting whether the cover is open or closed. During the cutting process, the sample tube (40) is clamped and fixed onto the machine stand (80). A sample clamping system (50) is used for this. The sample clamping system (50) has a moving lever. (51) consists of a movable jaw (52) and a fixed jaw (53). 20 in perspective in Figure 3. It is seen that the lever (51) moves the movable jaw (52), bringing the jaws together. It allows the sample tube (40) to approach and be compressed. The control of the motor components mentioned above is carried out from the control panel (60). From here The cutting process is performed automatically without manual intervention with the entered data. Control panel (60) figure It is seen in 2. 25 Another factor that prevents the sample tube (40) from moving during cutting is from above. It is a sample compression system (70). As seen in Figures 1 and 2, the sample is placed on top of the tube (40). by positioning and tightening the pipe between the machine stand (80) and itself and It prevents it from moving. As mentioned above, the sample pipe (40) to be cut will be machine stand (80) 30 It is positioned on top of it. The machine stand (80) must stand at a certain height from the ground. Legs are used. This height can be adjusted as needed. Working principle; The sample tube (40) is placed between the movable jaw (52) and the fixed jaw (53) on the machine stand (80) It is placed on top. To prevent the sample from moving during cutting, the lever (51) is rotated and 35 6 By moving the movable jaw (52) towards the fixed jaw (53), the sample tube (40) is horizontally positioned. Compression is ensured accordingly. After the horizontal fixation process, the sample is compressed from above using a sample compression system. With the help of (70), the pipe is also fixed in the vertical direction. Afterwards, the cutting machine side guard cover (30) is closed and the side guard cover safety is secured. The safety switch (31) is activated. The side guard cover is not activated before the safety switch (31) is activated. No power goes to the control panel (60). After the sample placement process, the cutting motor (21) is started via the control panel (60). To prevent dust from forming during the cutting process, the blade is placed on a fixed guard cover (27). Water is sprayed onto the blade by opening the valve of the water spraying system (28). Control By pressing the motor down button on the panel (60), the cutting motor's (21) movement slide (24) 10 It is made to descend. The cutting motor (21) has two safety covers. The first of these is fixed. The second is the protective cover (27). The second is the telescopic front located on the front of the cutting blade (22). It is the housing cover (23). The telescopic front housing cover (23) consists of two parts. The first part It is fixed on top. The second part slides inside the first part thanks to a sliding system located inside the first part. It can go in and out. It can move up and down together with the cutting blade (22) and the cutting operation independent of the movement of the cutting blade (22) at the point where the sample contacts the tube (40) during the process It remains fixed in place. With the help of the protective covers, the cutting blade (22) is in contact with the sample tube (40). When not in use, the contents are kept in a completely enclosed environment, minimizing occupational safety risks. When the cutting blade (22) cuts the sample tube (40), the lower 20 located under the machine stand (80) It contacts the safety switch (26) and automatically starts the downward movement of the cutting motor (21). It stops. The operator starts the cutting motor (21) by pressing the motor up button (60) on the control panel. It takes the position. When it contacts the upper safety switch (25) located on the sliding track (24). The drive motor (21) stops automatically. 25 The operator switches off the cutting motor (21) and the water spray system (28). Sample cutting is done in sequence. He opens the side guard cover (30) of the machine. He removes the top sample clamping system (70). Finally loosen the sample clamping system (50) and place the sample tube (40) on the machine stand (80) He takes it from there. For the next cutting operation, the new sample pipe (40) is placed on the machine stand (80) 30 The above steps are repeated.
