3D tube profile flame cutting

In line with market requirements, Stahlrohr has a CNC-controlled 3D tube profile cutting system at its disposal.

With our system, we process round tubes with outside diameters from 101.6 to 1422 mm and wall thicknesses from 5 to 100 mm by thermal cutting; for wall thicknesses up to 50 mm by plasma cutting and beyond that by oxyfuel cutting. Depending on the outside diameter, we can achieve production lengths of up to 16 m.

Due to the degrees of freedom, the system can produce customer-specific special cuts, contours, penetrations, multiple intersections, miters and slots. Appropriate weld seam preparations can easily be incorporated into the machining process.

Possible applications

With the production of flame-cut parts on a CNC system, we offer our customers advantages compared to conventional production in terms of

• Reduction of manual effort
• Greater variety of components with a shorter throughput time
• Higher quality and repeat accuracy during production

Flame-cut parts from our company are already being used in the fields of mechanical and plant engineering and steel construction in particular. Here it is of secondary importance whether these components are used, for example, as shells in boiler and mechanical engineering, in the area of trusses for steel construction or offshore structures.
