5. Conclusion & Recommendations
-
The flying friction saw is ideal for high-speed, continuous production of carbon steel tubes with moderate wall thickness and standard cutting tolerance.
-
For precision cutting, or when working with stainless steel or alloy steel, the cold saw provides better finish and dimensional control, although at a higher cost.
-
For flexible and cost-effective tube mills, many manufacturers choose a dual-system configuration—friction saw for general cutting, and cold saw for special grades or high-precision tubes.
6. Common Issues & Solutions – Flying Friction Saw for ERW Tube Mill
🛠️ Maintenance Tips:
-
🕑 Inspect the blade daily for cracks, dull teeth, and heat spots
-
🔩 Tighten mechanical connections weekly (clamps, bearings, guides)
-
💨 Check cooling system air ducts and nozzles regularly to avoid clogging
-
⚙️ Recalibrate servo tracking every 500 hours or when pipe length deviation exceeds tolerance
-
🧰 Keep spare blades and wear parts (bearings, belts) in inventory to reduce downtime
