Oakley Industrial Machinery’s semi-automatic tube cutting machine offers an efficient and cost-effective solution for cutting tubes in straight lengths, making it ideal for heating elements production. The system features manual bar loading, while all processing and unloading operations are fully automatic, delivering a smart balance between operator involvement and automated performance.
Thanks to this optimized configuration, the semi-automatic tube cutting line provides cutting speeds comparable to those of fully automatic systems. It is especially well-suited for tube cutting operations that require the production of multiple short pieces from a single bar, reducing cycle time and minimizing material waste.

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.
