Tube End Cutting
Melling provides accurate High Speed Tube Cutting for the automotive component and various other industries.
We have 2 Modern Auto Cutoff Machines in house that can cut up to 20 foot lengths and complete 750 – 1600 Pieces Per Hour.
Modern Cutting-Off Machines are single-spindle, lathe-type machines designed for production cutoff of round tubing, pipe and solid bar stock. Stock is fed through the spindle to a stop which gages the cut length, then held by a collet and rotated while being cut off with tools mounted on cross slides.
Parts have square cut ends with minimum burr. Multiple cross slides permit deburring or chamfering the O.D. of both ends while cutting off. Any type of material that can be turned with standard tooling can be cut off.
Tube End Forming
For many customer parts, end forming is one of the processes we perform. See these examples.
