Oakley Industrial Machinery’s automatic tube cutting machine with NC (numerical control) is engineered to deliver maximum efficiency and flexibility in tube cutting for heating elements and other tubular components. Designed for cutting tubes in straight lengths, this advanced system enables multiple cut lengths to be executed on the same bar, providing exceptional versatility in heating elements production.
The cutting line uses a controlled-axis pusher to ensure high-precision tube advancement and consistent cutting accuracy. With optimized nesting functions, the system significantly reduces waste by maximizing material usage—allowing up to three different cut lengths to be produced from a single bar with virtually zero scrap. The dual-unloading system automatically separates finished pieces, streamlining downstream handling and logistics.

The orbital score and pull-apart system is designed to overcome the problems with orbital cutting of a similar conception but realized using engraving wheels. The score and pull-apart system is an orbital tube cutting process that uses either a rotary blade cutter or insert cutting technology. These methods progressively score the tube along a circular section of its wall thickness, thinning it until a clamp pulls-apart the segment. This system ensures chipless and burr-free tube cuts with perfectly smooth edges and no deformation.
The saw cutting system incorporates a high-resistance circular blade that rotates at high speed to perform rapid and clean cuts. This technology offers the capabilities to manage different types of tube thickness, as well as different materials, with the precision of ninety-degree cuts. Furthermore, thanks to the robust materials and the cutting technique, the tool’s lifespan is extended, ensuring sustained durability and reliability.
Guillotine cutting lines are designed for producing custom-sized tubes with the internal diameter calibrated at both ends and customized lengths. This type of system is primarily selected for medium to large-scale production, ensuring rapid cutting diameter changeovers. The subsequent punching operation, used to eliminate the “heart-shaped” distortion caused by the cut, can be performed manually via a punching gun or automatically with a punching transfer system downstream of the tube cutting.
