Oakley Industrial Machinery develops high-performance tube cutting lines specifically engineered for cutting tubes in straight bars with fully automatic feeding, for heating elements production. Designed for medium to large production volumes, this automatic tube cutting machine maximizes productivity by improving cutting speed, reducing scrap, and minimizing operator intervention.
With the automatic configuration, the operator simply loads the straight bars onto the feeder. From that moment on, the system manages the entire workflow autonomously—including tube loading, positioning, length optimization, cutting, and final part unloading.
The automatic tube cutting line is built to execute all processing phases without manual adjustments, from batch loading through to dual-side unloading, ensuring a smooth and continuous cutting cycle.

The orbital score-and-pull-apart system is engineered to address the limitations of similar orbital cutting methods that rely on engraving wheels. This process employs either a rotary blade cutter or insert-style cutting technology to gradually score the tube, thinning a circular section of its wall. Once sufficiently weakened, a clamp separates the tube cleanly. The result is a chipless, burr-free cut with perfectly smooth edges and no deformation.
The saw-cutting system uses a high-resistance circular blade that spins at high speed to deliver fast, clean cuts. This technology can handle various tube thicknesses and materials while maintaining precise 90-degree cutting accuracy. In addition, the sturdy construction and cutting method increase the tool’s lifespan, providing long-lasting durability and dependable performance.
Guillotine cutting lines are engineered to produce tubes in customized lengths, with the internal diameter precisely calibrated at both ends. These systems are typically chosen for medium- to high-volume production, as they allow fast changeovers between cutting diameters. After cutting, a punching step removes the “heart-shaped” deformation created by the process. This punching can be carried out manually using a handheld tool or automatically through a transfer system positioned after the cutting station.

A single solution, double power: it easily changes from score & pull-apart system, ideal for precision and speed on pipes of different sizes and thicknesses, to circular saw cutting to tackle tubes with even greater diameter. Maximum flexibility and productivity in one machine!
