OverviewMetal tubes finished on BEWO cutting lines are used across numerous industries, notably the automotive sector where finishing quality, length tolerance and part marking are critical. Deburring removes sharp edges from tube ends using brushes; chamfering creates a precise edge after cutting and supports stricter length tolerances; punching produces holes or defined edges for welding or anodising preparation.
Finishing options- Deburring: removal of sharp edges using two brushes applied to the tube ends. Faster process with lower dimensional precision compared to chamfering.
- Chamfering: more precise finish that produces a defined edge after cutting. Slower and slightly more costly than deburring but enables tighter length tolerances and very fine specifications.
- Punching: introduces holes or defined edges at tube ends (e.g. for welding or anodising) using a punch nipple.
Modular constructionCutting lines can be configured modularly: deburring, chamfering and punching are available as individual modules that can be added to extend or upgrade a production line.
ApplicationsWidely used in industries requiring precision-finished tubes, especially automotive components where length tolerance and marking are essential for assembly and traceability.
Characteristics / technical specifications- Deburring technique: two-brush deburring of tube ends.
- Chamfering: precise edge application after cutting; supports very fine length tolerances.
- Punching: holes or defined edges produced using a punch nipple for welding/anodising preparation.
- Throughput (indicative): deburring can process approximately 7000 products per hour (faster but less precise than chamfering).
- Process trade-offs: chamfering is slower and more expensive than deburring but provides higher precision and tighter length-tolerance control.
- System architecture: modular cutting-line construction allowing incremental addition of finishing modules.
- Primary target sectors: automotive and other industries requiring high-quality tube finishing and marking.
