Selection Guide for Flexible Tubing Cutter

Automatic Flexible Tubing Cutter Principle:

Utilizing a microcomputer numerical control display device, the cutting length/quantity and feeding speed can be freely set. Equipped with an adjustable roller feeding mechanism, both sides automatically adjust pressure and elevation, allowing for quick material feeding. Combined with a needle-type feeding mechanism, it effectively prevents material scratching and is mainly suitable for high-speed cold/hot full/half cutting of tapes. High precision, low loss, ergonomic design, simple operation, and high automation.

We often encounter inquiries from customers regarding whether our HZX-100 cutter can cut flexible tubes, PVC tubes, and heat shrink tubes. In fact, our company’s sales representatives generally advise against cutting these materials with the HZX-100.

Now let’s discuss how our HZX-100 cutter operates. Firstly, the machines produced by Bangqi Chuangyuan Automation Equipment Co., Ltd. are classified into two types of blades: utility knives and high-speed steel SKD-2, as detailed on our company’s product page.

Now, let’s talk about when to choose a utility knife. Utility knives are very thin, sharp, and cut directly from top to bottom, resulting in a very smooth cut on the material. Utility knives are commonly used to cut PVC pipes, PU pipes, T-shaped pipes, as well as commonly used flexible tubes and nylon tubes. Because these pipes require smooth cuts, a utility knife is the perfect choice. When paired with our dedicated Saigang cutting pad, the cut materials are very neat, smooth, and burr-free.

The second type is the high-speed steel blade, which consists of two blades, with the upper blade movable and the lower blade fixed. The cutting principle of this blade is similar to that of scissors, gradually moving from one side to the other. Therefore, this type of blade is only suitable for cutting flat or sheet materials. Examples include heat shrink tubing, battery sleeves, various sleeves, non-woven fabric films, and paper materials.

Now, back to the original question, what should you do if you need to cut heat shrink tubing, PVC tubing, and flexible tubing? In fact, at this point, you can choose according to your requirements for the cut of the flexible tube. If a smooth cut is required, you can choose a utility knife; if the cut quality is not a priority, then using a high-speed steel blade would be better, especially since heat shrink tubing can also be cut with a utility knife.

Product Features of the Cutter:
The microcomputer fully automatic cutting machine is suitable for cutting and trimming rolls, sheets, and pipes in various industries. It does not require any molds. It is controlled by a microcomputer system software, and then directly cuts the product. As long as the corresponding parameters are set on the operation platform, the computer transmits the corresponding instructions to the cutting machine. The cutting machine will then quickly cut according to the received design drawings, with high automation, comprehensive functionality, simple operation, and stable performance.
