High Precision Rotary Knife Pipe Cutting Machine for Rigid PVC, PP and PE Pipe, 1–50 mm WM-591

›

The WM-591 cuts rigid plastic pipe — PVC, PP, PE and similar hard tube — to programmed length with a knife head that rotates around the pipe instead of pressing down through it, so the wall is sheared rather than crushed and the cut face stays round. It takes pipe from 1 to 50 mm with a Φ52 mm pass-through bore, holds a cutting tolerance within 0.05 mm at 100 mm, and runs cut lengths of 1 to 500 mm at about 1,000 pieces per hour. A servo drive and ball screw position every length, batches are set on a 7-inch touchscreen, and the whole cutting chamber sits under a hinged guard. Benchtop footprint, 85 kg, 220 V and 0.5–0.7 MPa shop air.

Specifications

Key features

• Rotary knife orbits the pipe instead of chopping through it — rigid PVC, PP and PE leave a round, open bore instead of the flattened wall and crescent-shaped crush a guillotine leaves on hard tube
• Cutting tolerance within 0.05 mm at 100 mm — the tightest published figure of any plastic-pipe cutter in this category on our site, which is what makes the difference when the cut pieces are glued, welded or press-fit into a fitting
• Servo drive with ball screw feed positions each length by screw pitch rather than by belt travel, so repeat length does not drift as feed belts wear or slip on glossy extruded pipe
• Φ52 mm pass-through bore accepts stock right up to the 50 mm processing limit, so large-diameter rigid pipe stays on this machine instead of moving to a saw
• Hinged guard covers the full cutting chamber and the 7-inch touchscreen sits outside it on a swing arm, so length, count and batch are set without opening the enclosure
• Free sample test — send us 2–3 m of your pipe, we run it on this machine and send you the cut samples and the trial video before you order

What it processes

• Rigid PVC, PP and PE pipe cut to counted lengths for fittings, valve bodies and plumbing sub-assembly
• Pipe and hard-tube stock preparation for appliance, furniture and machine-building lines where the cut face is glued, solvent-welded or press-fit
• Short precision pipe segments from 1 to 500 mm for laboratory, filtration and fluid-handling assemblies
• Sample rooms and small-batch workshops that need cut accuracy but have no floor space for a 270 kg standing machine

Suited for: rigid plastic pipe — PVC, PP, PE and similar hard tube — from 1 to 50 mm, cut into accurate short lengths between 1 and 500 mm where the cut face has to stay round and the length has to repeat.

Not suited for: pieces longer than 500 mm or continuous coil stock — that is the WM-582 tube cut-to-length machine, a floor machine with crawler feed and conveyor outfeed for Φ1–40 mm. High-volume thin-wall corrugated conduit belongs on the WM-587 high-speed cutting and slitting machine (Φ4–32 mm, up to 100,000 pcs/h), and corrugated conduit above 32 mm on the WM-583 corrugated tube cutting and splitting machine (Φ5–60 mm). For brass tube and aluminium rod rather than plastic, use the WM-562CNC brass tube and rod cutting machine (Ø0.6–48 mm, ±0.03 mm). Pipe larger than 50 mm, or any pipe where the cut has to leave no chips at all inside the bore, goes on the WM-593 rotary chipless pipe cutting machine (10–100 mm, 0.5–6 mm wall), which separates the pipe with a rolling cutter wheel instead of a knife blade.
