Project case study: Production line for cutting and punching of tubes This production line for cutting and punching of tubes is actual example how the SIRIUS designs a complex industrial solutions for several production operations in one production line. This production line is based on fully automatic process, where is needed only one operator for whole mass production. This issue is very popular for bigger producers of tubes, they want to deliver to the customers not only tubes, pipes and various profiles, but also treated deliveries of such products. This production line from SIRIUS includes material entry into the container with coiling system, subsequently magazine with a camera positioning system, manipulator of tubes, CNC cutting machine, output of scraps, and manipulator of tubes into the punching machine, CNC punching machine, control systems and output of finished tubes into the trolley. Our case solution is composed of CNC hydraulic punching machine with automatic feed for punching the round holes 0 14 mm into round tubes 0 48,3 x 2 x 2400 mm and round holes 0 12 mm into round tubes 0 48,3 x 3,2 mm x max. 3000mm. The production line includes following parts - container for long tubes with coiling system of bands for discharge of tubes - magazine of tubes with camera system and positioning system for the correct position of tube seam (weld) - manipulator 1 of tube for feed of cutting - cutting machine - manipulator 2 for transport tubes from cutting machine to punching machine and to product container - punching machine control system OUTPUT. Punching of length 2.400 mm with 12 holes of diameter 14 mm. By use of punching machine with 2 holes and with punch through 2 sides of tube at once, each stroke takes 1.5 seconds. I.e. 18 sec. + time for change (10 sec.) = 28 + reserve (2 sec.) = 30 seconds). 30 sec = 2 tubes; 240 tubes per hour. Cutting: Tube with diameter 48,3 mm. The cutting process takes 4 seconds and feed cycle for length 2400 mm takes 4 seconds SIRIUS Praha, Ltd. Polygraficka 18, CZ - 10800 Prague 10, Czech Republic, E.U.
