Achieve distortion-free results with our professional technical documentation for the Pipe Cutting Die. Unlike standard flat sheet metal dies, cutting cylindrical profiles requires specialized “scalloped” blade geometry or “vertical shear” action to prevent the tube from collapsing under the initial impact. This drawing package details a robust die assembly designed to shear pipes and tubes with minimal “dimpling” or deformation, ensuring that the finished ends are ready for welding or assembly without expensive secondary deburring.

The provided dibujo package offers an exhaustive look at the internal support mandrels (if required) and the precision-contoured die blocks that cradle the pipe during the cut. By analyzing the clearance calculations and the blade-angle specifications in these blueprints, engineers can optimize the tool for various diameters and wall thicknesses. We provide these high-fidelity CAD resources for free to help toolrooms develop efficient “cut-to-length” stations for high-volume production lines.

Our files are formatted for seamless integration into 3D engineering software, allowing you to perform kinematic simulations of the blade’s entry path. This ensures that the cutting force is distributed evenly, extending the life of the hardened tool steel inserts.

Características principales:

  • Radius-Contoured Die Blocks: Specifically engineered to match the pipe’s outer diameter (OD), providing 360-degree support during the shearing process.
  • Scalloped Punch Geometry: Features a specialized blade profile that “slices” into the tube wall to reduce the peak tonnage requirement and minimize collapse.
  • Hardened Tool Steel Inserts: Designed for construction with shock-resistant alloys like S7 or D2 to withstand the unique stresses of curved-surface cutting.
  • Automatic Scrap Separation: Detailed schematics for “slug” disposal, ensuring that the small section of waste material is ejected clearly from the die.
  • Modular Diameter Adjustment: Includes layouts for interchangeable inserts, allowing the same die shoe to accommodate various pipe sizes.
