the purpose

- Introduction of high-precision cutting technology that can also handle short pipes inside equipment

- Reduction of work hours and adjustment work

assignment

- It was difficult to cutting the pipes at right angles with a band saw, and the accuracy was not consistent.

- When mass-producing pipes of the same length, work efficiency was low

effect

- Dramatically improved perpendicularity accuracy of end faces, making welding work smoother

- Fine adjustments are no longer necessary, and production efficiency has increased by approximately 1.5 times

About Sugiura Equipment

From design to manufacturing, installation and electrical control of fluid control equipment.
Sugiura Equipment is an equipment supplier that combines the flexibility and expertise that comes with being a privately owned business, and handles all processes in equipment manufacturing on a one-stop basis.

The biggest attraction is the smooth communication and high-quality manufacturing through "total coordination." Professionals from each field, such as design, welding, and electrical control, come together to work on projects as one team, which allows for efficient progress while accurately reflecting the needs of the end user.

Not only does it eliminate the need to request services from multiple contractors, it also simplifies communication, and allows Sugiura Equipment to respond quickly and flexibly to detailed consultations at the design stage and sudden changes on-site. Sugiura Equipment's agility and reliable technology backed by abundant experience are proof of their reliability.

The reason for introducing the AXXAIR rotary cutting machine

When he went to help out at a construction site, he saw a rotary cutting machine being used by another company, became interested in its performance, and began considering purchasing one.

Previously, pipes were cutting using a band saw, but it was very difficult to cutting at right angles. After cutting, the pipes were connected together, a ruler was placed on the pipes to check that they were parallel, and they were spot welded while hitting them with a hammer to adjust them. In particular, if the right angle was not achieved, it took a lot of man-hours and effort to correct it.

For outdoor pipes of about 4m in length, some degree of adjustment is possible, but for short pipes that fit inside equipment, even the slightest misalignment makes it impossible to connect, and precise right angles are required. As the number of equipment manufacturing contracts increases, the company realized that the accuracy of pipe cutting is directly linked to the quality of work, and decided to introduce the machine.

After comparing several rotary cutting machines, they decided to install this machine because of its excellent balance of cost and performance.

The equipment we are making will have piping connections like those shown in the photo above.

After installing the AXXAIR rotary cutting machine, they also introduced a pipe bender.

He said that he would like to become more adept at using pipe bender in the future.

Benefits of introducing AXXAIR rotary cutting machine

① It has become possible to reliably produce right angles on pipe ends

②Production efficiency increased by approximately 1.5 times

The ability to accurately produce right angles on the end faces has greatly improved the efficiency of connection work during welding, which is a major advantage of the introduction of this system.

Before the introduction of the new system, we used to make fine adjustments after cutting using a band saw to achieve accuracy.cutting The accuracy is very high.of the pipes purchased.Work efficiency is dramatically improved to the extent that "if you don't get the right angle, it's faster to re-cut it again.The company has been working on this project for several years. Since there are many opportunities to produce large quantities of piping of the same length, he feels that this high efficiency is particularly important. The operability of the machine is also highly evaluated, with one customer saying, "The machine is so easy to use that our craftsmen can quickly master it, and to be honest, it is playing such an active role that we don't want to tell other companies about it.

In addition, as the industry as a whole is facing a labor shortage, more equipment and machinery will be needed in the future. The AXXAIR rotary cutting machine currently in use has specifications that allow cutting pipes up to 120Φ, but in the future, the company is considering adding a machine that can handle pipes up to 170Φ.
We are very happy to hear directly from our customers that they are very satisfied with the new system and that they are really happy with its introduction.

It is possible to cutting all types of pipes, including stainless steel and carbon steel, at high speed.

cutting method is a handle feed type, which reduces the burden on the worker during cutting.

It can be operated on a 100V power supply.

Sugiura Equipment is facing industry-wide challenges such as recent soaring material costs and labor shortages, but the company is making aggressive capital investments with an eye toward stable business continuity and further growth.

Based on the idea of "more accurate and more efficient," the company is highly interested in and proactively introduces the latest machinery and tools to improve the accuracy of work in device manufacturing and reduce the burden on the site. The introduction of machinery and equipment has not only stabilized quality, but has also produced great results in terms of standardizing work and reducing time.

In order to continue supporting our customers' "on-site capabilities," we will go beyond simply providing products and strive to provide proposals that directly lead to problem-solving and detailed support.
