1. Background and Usage of Small 3 Axis CNC Pipe Flame Plasma Cutting Machine:
 

1) Significance: The model CNC-CP3-600/660 is the earliest product in CP series CNC Pipe Cutting Machine. It can be viewed as starting point with basic configuration and function in product family of CNC Pipe Flame Plasma Cutting Machine;
2) Feature: This basic model CNC Pipe Cutting Machine has the lowest quotation/ running cost and simplest operation;
3) Workpieces: It is for cutting off small to small medium pipes, and cut holes of straight edge into pipes;
4) Max. pipe length of pipe can be designated by customer.

2. Technical Parameters of CP3 Φ600/660 Chuck Claw 3 Axis CNC Pipe Cutting Machine:

1. Application of Small 5 Axis CNC Pipe Plasma Flame Cutting Machine:
 

1) Importance: This model has the widest application in small diameter range pipe of CNC Pipe Cutting Machine;
2) Strong Capability: With adding on A axis and B axis, the Φ600/660 5 Axis CNC Pipe Plasma Flame Cutting Machine can cut out slant edges;
3) Pipe Fixture: Due to its small diameter of pipe, the fixture is in the structure of 3 claw chuck.

2. Technical Parameters of CP5 Φ600/660 Chuck Claw 5 Axis CNC Pipe Flame Plasma Cutting Machine:

1. Characteristic and Function of CP5 Φ660/1400 Friction Roller Support 5 Axis CNC Pipe Cutting Machine:
 

1) When to Use: When diameter of pipes grows to the scope of Φ660mm~ Φ1400mm, and hence increasement of pipe wall thickness (Usually 20mm ~ 50mm), 5 Axis CNC Pipe Cutting Machine becomes best solution for customers;
2) Applicable Pipe Holder: Meanwhile, due to its larger diameter of pipe which is not fitting for to be held in chuck claws, friction rollers supporting brackets are more suitable for this specifications of CNC Pipe Cutting Machine.

2. Technical Parameters of CP5 Φ660/1400 Friction Roller Support 5 Axis CNC Pipe Cutting Machine:

1. Specialty and Operation of CP6/CP7 Φ2000~3000mm Friction Roller Support 6/7 Axis Large CNC Pipe Flame Cutting Machine:
 

1) Applicable Pipe Diameters: When diameter of workpiece is from Φ2000mm to larger: Φ2500mm, and Φ3000mm, the 6th V axis and 7th W axis should be introduced to Large CNC Pipe Cutting Machine;
2) Technical Feature: In 7 Axis large CNC Pipe Flame Cutting Machine, for enforcement of the 7th W axis, one row of friction rollers is stationary style, and the other row is movable under motor drive.

2. Technical Parameters of CP6/CP7 Φ2000~3000 Friction Roller 6/7 Axis Large CNC Pipe Cutting Machine:
