MM-1 Programmable Pipe Cutter

Product catalog summary
Overview: The MM-1 Programmable Pipe Cutter is a computer-controlled machine designed for automated cutting of various profiles and shapes on pipes with diameters from 4" to 16", extendable to 24". It features a roller bed, three-jaw chuck, and a cutting torch that moves along the pipe's axis.
Capabilities: The machine can perform saddle cuts, hillside cuts, lateral cuts, miter cuts, and hole cuts. It supports custom shapes through a shape program, enhancing its versatility for industrial applications.
Programming: The MM-1 can be programmed via a handheld terminal or PC. The handheld terminal allows direct input of cut types and dimensions, while PC software options (BUG-6140 and BUG-6240 CAD Interface) enable offline shape creation and downloading. The BUG-6240 includes DeskCNC for converting CAD drawings into shape files.
Technical Specifications: Operating on 120 or 240 VAC, the machine has a load capacity of 2200 lbs and a net weight of 1000 lbs. Its dimensions are 137" L x 36" W x 55" H. Cutting methods include oxy-fuel or plasma, with specific configurations available.
Accessories and Options: The MM-1 offers accessories such as a linear drive with torch holder, cable carrier, adjustable table, bed extension, and rail assembly. It supports different pipe bed lengths and cutting capacities, with factory options to increase the cutting diameter to 24".
Cutting Tips: Specifications for oxy-propane, natural gas, and oxy-acetylene cutting tips are provided, detailing part numbers, tip sizes, plate thickness, oxygen and fuel gas pressures, and orifice drill sizes.
Conclusion: The MM-1 Programmable Pipe Cutter is an efficient tool for automated pipe cutting, reducing manual layout and fit-up time, suitable for precise and customizable cuts in various industrial applications.
Company Information: Bug-O Systems, a division of Weld Tooling Corporation, is committed to honesty, integrity, and ethics in its operations.

MM-1 Programmable Pipe Cutter-1

MM-1 Programmable Pipe Cutter - Programming Capabilities TYPE 1 SADDLE NOZZLE CUTS TYPE 2 OFFSET SADDLE NOZZLE CUTS (Hillside) LATERAL NOZZLE CUTS Computer Software The MM-1 Programmable Pipe Cutter can be programmed from a PC, using either of two software packages described below. Shapes can be created off-line, and downloaded to the machine when required. A cable is supplied to connect to the serial or USB port of the PC. 1. PC Option / BUG-6140. This runs under Windows, and allows you to: • Create shapes on the PC. • Save any number of shapes to disk, and retrieve them as necessary. • View a programmed shape on screen which helps program verification. • Download programmed shapes from the PC to the machine. TYPE 5 HOLE CUTTING AT VARIOUS ANGLES 2. BUG-6240 CAD Interface. This is a complete package that includes both the PC option and DeskCNC. This will allow you to take two dimensional CAD drawings and convert them to Shape files that you can directly load into your shape machine. • DeskCNC is used to modify two dimensional CAD drawings (.DXF files) and create a toolpath • The toolpath is saved as a CNC file using DeskCNC • The CNC file can be loaded in the PC option for easy integration with the MM-1 SHAPE PROGRAM CUSTOM IRREGULAR SHAPES MM-1 Programmable Pipe Cutter - Accessories CWO-7598 Powermax 85 Includes the following: • Interface cable to the MM-1 Pipe Cutter • 50' (15.24 m) Machine Barrel Torch Power Requirements: Auto voltage runs on 200-600 Volts, 1 or 3-phase, without the need of rewiring. ECONOMICAL, AUTOMATED PIPE CUTTER SAVES LAYOUT AND FIT-UP TIME. Adjustable Output Current: 25-85 Amps Cutting Capacity: (Recommended) 3/4" (19 mm) BUG-1274 3-Hose Machine Torch 10" (254 mm) Cutting Torch is the same for AcetylenePropane-Natural Gas. Only the tip changes. Oxy-Acetylene Tips Programming Arbitrary Shapes TIME DELAY PERCENT SPEED WAIT FOR AUXILIARY START MODES BUTTON WELD/OXY PIPE CUT NUMBER OFF REPEAT WELD/OXY ANOTHER ON STEP For custom shapes, select the “shape” software. Programming is simple, but will require a few more steps due to all the variations possible. First, the developed pattern should be laid out as if the pipe is unrolled flat. The cut is then split into a sequence of straight lines or circular arcs that make up the desired pattern. Next, these should be listed in a table on paper, with the type, quadrant and required dimensions (referring to the chart in the Instruction Manual). To program the shape, press “A”, then enter the total segments at the prompt. Next, enter the data for each segment type, quadrant and dimensions in turn, at the prompt. When all segments are entered the program is ready to run.
