CNC Pipe Cutting Machine Retrofit
Modernize an existing CNC pipe cutting machine with a custom Watts cutting-system retrofit. Roller-bed condition, machine compatibility and the required software scope must be assessed for each project.
A CNC pipe cutting machine retrofit can update the cutting system while retaining suitable parts of an existing roller-bed installation. The Watts pipe cutter upgrade program is a custom project: suitability depends on the machine, its condition and the work you need it to perform.
Review the existing roller bed and cutting system
Provide the machine manufacturer and model, photographs, bed dimensions and information about existing racks or feeders. Include the pipe sizes, materials, wall thicknesses and stock lengths you process, together with representative cuts and bevel requirements. This gives Justram the information needed to discuss pipe profiling machine modernization.
Confirm the controls and software scope
Discuss the cutting-system changes, controls and programming workflow as part of the retrofit assessment. Ask whether 3D-Profile Plus (3DPP) software is included in the proposed scope and which existing components can be retained. Compatibility and reuse of the roller bed must be confirmed before an upgrade is specified.
Compare a retrofit with a new machine
Review the Watts W Series CNC pipe cutting machines and WM Series large diameter CNC pipe cutting machines when comparing project options. For vessel work, see the Watts vessel profile cutting machine. Contact Justram to discuss your existing machine and application.
