SITUBE®
DESCRIPTION

4-axis pipe cutting technology

SITUBE is a special tube cutting system designed to cut not only round pipes but tubes of any shape or cross-section. When combined with SI[CAD]max, SITUBE enables three-dimensional model mathematics to be imported and modified or completely recreated. Here the term mathematics refers to shapes on which cutting paths can be generated.

By means of a high precision analysis of the surfaces and curves to be cut, the system decides the beginning and ending procedures and moves the laser cutting head to a perpendicular position above the relative points on the cutting path, defining the technological laser parameters on the basis of the work rules set by the user.

The program guarantees a risk free cutting path thanks to a monitoring module as well as specifically checking for possible collisions between the laser head and parts of the piece
to be cut.

A dynamic simulation of the workpiece, the spindle, the securing system, piece rotation and the interaction between the piece and laser head can also be viewed before the part program to be sent to the machine computer is generated.

FEATURES

SITUBE consists of the following modules:
- SI[CAD] max: 3D geometry
- SITUB3: 4 axis laser cutting technology
- Post Processor: ISO code generator
