Milling Saw

 

Function: The Milling Saw—also called a profile milling flying saw—is mounted at the end of a longitudinal welded steel pipe production line. It precisely cuts continuously moving pipes to produce clean, burr-free ends.

Structure: Equipped with a servo-driven tracking system that synchronizes with pipe motion, it performs cold, profile milling cuts to deliver smooth, highly accurate cut faces.

Product Description

 

1. Overview & Working Principle 🛠️

  • Function: The Milling Saw—also called a profile milling flying saw—is mounted at the end of a longitudinal welded steel pipe production line. It precisely cuts continuously moving pipes to produce clean, burr-free ends.

  • Structure: Equipped with a servo-driven tracking system that synchronizes with pipe motion, it performs cold, profile milling cuts to deliver smooth, highly accurate cut faces.


2. Features & Components

  1. Tracking System

    • Driven by a servo motor and using roller-speed measurement, it continuously monitors pipe velocity.

    • Controlled via an S-curve trajectory to achieve smooth, fine-tuned positioning of the saw head and precise cut locations.

  2. Milling Cutting System

    • Automatically adjusts the cutting trajectory based on pipe cross-section (round or square).

    • Employs multi-axis synchronized control to cut pipes cleanly—even for complex geometries.

  3. Operation Mode

    • Functions as a "flying saw": the cutter head moves along with the pipe, enabling high-speed cutting without stopping production.

    • Uses carbide or HSS blades to achieve cool, spark-free, low-noise operation while preserving pipe properties.

3. Typical Technical Specifications

Parameter Typical Values / Notes
Pipe Diameter Typical range: Ø 16 mm to Ø 1000 mm (model-dependent)
Cutting Speed Commonly up to 80 m/min; some models exceed this
Cutting Tolerance Meets British BS standards; high dimensional precision
Cut-Face Quality Smooth and burr-free; typically requires no secondary chamfering
Blade Material High-speed steel (HSS), tungsten carbide tipped (TCT), etc.
Drive System Servo motors + multi-axis control (e.g. via controllers like Trio MC206)
Cutting Mode Dry cutting or wet cutting options available

4. Advantages

  • High Precision: Combined with servo tracking and S-curve control, it meets international standards for cut positioning.

  • Excellent Cut Quality: Cold cutting produces smooth, burr-free ends without secondary finishing.

  • High Efficiency: Flying saw capability enables continuous operation without stopping the pipe line.

  • Low Noise & Dust: Cold cuts significantly reduce sparks and dust, creating a cleaner work environment.

  • Advanced Control: Multi-axis coordination and quality servo drives offer easy settings and tuning.

5. Daily Maintenance Tips

  1. Blade Care

    • Regularly inspect blade wear and replace or regrind as needed to maintain quality.

    • Use recommended blade materials (HSS, TCT); avoid substandard blades that can damage pipes or equipment.

  2. Drive & Servo System

    • Check cables, connectors, and sensors; remove dust, tighten fittings, and lubricate gears and rollers periodically.

  3. Hydraulic & Pneumatic Systems

    • If equipped with wet cutting or air-control systems, inspect fluid, hoses, valves, and filters; clean regularly.

  4. Control System Diagnostics

    • Monitor servo controllers for alarms; back up motion profiles, cutting parameters, and system data frequently.

  5. Cleaning & Housekeeping

    • Maintain a tidy workspace, remove debris promptly, and ensure cooling or exhaust systems are unobstructed.

  6. Tool Setup Calibration

    • Regularly calibrate tool alignment and fixture positioning to preserve cut accuracy; perform synchronous tracking calibration.


6. Summary

A profile milling flying saw for longitudinally welded steel pipes combines cold milling, servo tracking, and multi-axis control—ideal for high-speed, high-precision cutting. Its key benefits include burr-free cut faces, continuous production, efficient operation, and a cleaner work environment. To maintain performance and longevity, monitor blade condition, servo/control systems, cleanliness, lubrication, and alignment. Proper upkeep ensures consistent product quality and extends machine life. Let me know if you’d like actual model specs or a maintenance manual!

Milling Saw FAQs

What typical pipe sizes and cutting speeds are supported?

Pipe diameters typically range from Ø 16 mm to Ø 1000 mm (varies by model). Cutting speeds around 80 m/min or higher, depending on equipment .

Is the saw suitable for large pipes?

Yes. Some models—like double‑blade or CNC versions—handle large-diameter and thick-walled pipes via multiple cutting heads, reducing blade size and operating cost .

Why is milling preferred over hot/friction cutting?

Cold milling avoids complications from high heat friction (like spark hazards, pipe deformation, burrs). It produces clean, safe, efficient, and burr-free cuts—ideal for online manufacturing
