Description of invention :-
The present invention relates to a High speed burr free cold cut off carriage saw along with an additional shuttle for friction saw to use in-line with conventional and high speed tube mills up to 120 met / min speed to get 20 cuts of 6 met long pipes with cut length accuracy as good as + 2 mm with least burrs and perfect square cuts without any dimple and friction saw on the same Track for cutting higher wall thickness tubes. Eco friendly machine has been designed to offer least per cut cost as it consumes very low power ( machine uses very low overall power of 30 KW as against conventional similar saws which uses 60 to 75 KW) and otters more number cuts before re-sharpening of HSS saw blades. For thick wall and tough steel tubes, TCT saws blades can be used. Highly user friendly computer program needs very few data to enter by mill operator with Fool proof and fault diagnostic features. Friction saw drive is of 40 KW AC. Motor. This machine provides facility for both type of cutting on the same track and on line with simply selecting a particular system by a selector switch on the main control panel. Friction saw cutting keeps per cut cost very low for higher wall thickness tubes.
Machine has been designed to keep minimum inertia load of shuttle which reciprocates at very high speed, with high technological & metallurgical combined properties aluminum alloy has been used to bring down moving shuttle weight from conventional shuttle design of around a tone to only 325 kgs. Rake (4) is mounted on the machine bed and Pinion on back lash free reduction gear box fitted with low weight servo motor, with the rotation of pinion, shuttle moves forward or reverse very precisely to offer close tolerance cut length.
Saw head slides forwaro & reverse on linear motion guide bearings and moves thru ball screw coupled to servo motor which is mounted on inclined table across the pipe axis (5). Saw head gear box is coupled with a synchronous motor which
rotates the saw blade at programmed speed depending upon saw blade properties and tube material quality. When saw blade gets dull / worn out, computer senses the condition and give alarm to change the blade with new one. This feature saves excessive wear of saw blade tooth which helps in re-sharpening.
Shuttle stroke can be used up to 4000 mm but depending upon the tube size , thickness and mill speed .stroke length reduces automatically avoiding unnecessary wear tear of sliding parts. Similarly, to enhance tool life, saw cutting speed and feed rate is adjusted automatically, for thick wall tube and sections special feature of slow entry and slow exit allows cutter to run without excessive loading due to pipe wall contact area.
depending upon tube size , saw blade size can be selected to economize tool cost as small diameter cutters are much cheaper, also after re-sharpening saw blade size reduces and can be used for small diameter tube without any difficulty, depending upon saw blade diameter, machine automatically adjusts saw head stroke.
A Centralized lubrication system has dedicated PLC to lubricate all the moving parts as programmed depending upon function.TCT saw blades tooth are cooled and lubricated micro mist spray system. ITL offers Eco friendly mist oil to enhance saw blade life.
Tube clamping is done by pneumatically operated double acting clamps such that both the jaws retracts back to avoid rubbing and scratching on blade. clamping jaws can be changed quickly, hardened and ground alloy steel Length measuring roll is connected to rotary encoder and the whole assembly is housed in loaded sliding biock.

Operational Sequence
• After entering the desired data's in the computer mil! is started.
• Length measuring device starts measuring the length.
• No sooner programmed length in measured, system gets a signal and shuttle starts moving.
• In fraction of second shuttle speed synchronizes very precisely with the tube speed.
• Tube Clamping Vise operates and tube is clamped.
• Sensor confirms the tube clamping and Saw head starts moving to cut the
tube. • After cutting, Saw head retracts back rapidly. • Tube clamping Vise operates and de-c!amps the tube. • Shuttle stops and return back to home position and get ready to receive
new commana for the next cut.
