FM SERIES

Double Tube Ends Chamfering + Length Measuring

Automatic Chamfering + Length Measuring With the SOCO FM series for Chamfering + Length Measuring, it is possible to simultaneously chamfer both ends of a tube, with up to 3000 mm in working length and measure their lengths with tolerances as low as ± 0.02 mm. With an optional BTM (Bundle Loading Magazine), the machines offer a completely automatic loading, feeding, chamfering and length measuring processes. Using an absolute length measuring system (against a calibrated piece), the machines may also be programmed to stop after a certain number of pieces do not fall within the specified length tolerance. This range is suitable for a clean and even chamfer on both ends of the tube, with chamfering the inside + outside (I/O) and face of the material or making a radius (round) chamfer then measuring its length. It may also be used for outside chamfering of solid bars (*).

FM Series Machine Features:

AUTOMATION

• Fully automatic chamfering and Length Measuring system, with 2 types of loading magazine:
  • Rack – Sliding Magazine (Standard)
  • BTM – Bundle Loading Magazine (Optional)
• External and internal chamfering facing with length measuring in 1 process for both sides of the tube, with optional radius (round) chamfering
• Optional motorized length adjusting

VERSATILITY AND RANGE

• Working length can be as short as 250mm, and up to 3000mm
• Diameter ranges from 16mm ~ 76mm
• Programmable Rejection Rates – the operator may choose for the machine to stop after a certain number of pieces (continuous or separate) does not fall within the specified length tolerances.
• Suitable for Tube and Solid Bars, and materials such as steel, stainless. (with optional Speed Inverter)
• Ability to inside + outside (I/O) chamfer as deep as 15mm or angles as small as 15 degrees.
• Suitable for inside + outside (I/O) Chamfering, Facing, Centering, Deep Chamfering, Radius Chamfering and Length Measuring

PERFORMANCE

• Cycle Times as short as 6 seconds
• Patented feeding system for the work piece, ensuring a smooth process throughout
• The rigid tool seat has been designed for durability, with easily fixable tool bits for longer working life
• 2 steps chamfering process:
  • First step — Fast approach for time saving
  • Second step — Infinitely adjustable chamfering speed for smooth finish
• The length tolerance of each working piece can be controlled within ± 0.05 mm ~ ± 0.1 mm
• The length tolerance can be measured down to ± 0.02 mm
• The “Walking Beam” system ensure that the work pieces are not damaged or scratched through the entire machining process.
• The machine bed’s heavy casting and head stock can absorb working vibrations, providing a continuous and stable operation
