Control of a Pipe-Cutting Machine

A brand-new equipment used to cut kinds of pipe had been brought out and took the place of existent cutter machine, which was of low degree in automation and behindhand. So structure analysis and pneumatic control technology of the device had been introduced based on simulation technique. First, three-dimensional software PRO/E was used for avoiding the overlap and penetration phenomenon before the model was imported to MSC. Adams, where the working process of pipe-cutting machine was simulated, to optimize the structure and mode of motion. Its hydraulic circuit and electric loop had been designed in the software of FluidSIM-H to improve working efficiency and automation. Now, pipe-cutting machine had been manufactured which was effectively controlled and used.
