 INTRODUCTION
It is essential, in the interest of strength and
economy, to cut pipes cleanly and with a machine
designed for such work requires to be light, portable
and easy to maintain.
The automatic portable gas pipe cutting
machine has been designed to meet such requirements
fair degree of accuracy.
 Machine designed for such work requires to
be light, portable and easy to maintain. The automatic
portable gas pipe cutting machine has been designed to
meet such requirements.
 HISTORY
 French engineers Edmond fouche & Carles Pickard
founded Gas cutting & welding process.
 Oxy-Acetylene fuel is widely used in recent decades.
 90% work is done in workshop & 10% in field.
 Small size pipes are easy to cut.
 Cutter is fixed and job revolves under it.
 METHODOLOGY
 The smallest diameter pipe that can be dealt with is
380mm (15 inch).
 The largest diameter depends upon the length of the
drive chain.
 The cutter has the capacity to cut thickness depends
upon the concentration of the gas flame adjusted.
CURRENT PROBLEM
 Cutting of large diameter of pipe is difficult.
 e.g. Gas & Water supply pipelines.
 Conventional system is difficult to use on field.
 High skilled labour are required for high accuracy and
finish.
 Production rate is low and also efficiency is low.
 INVENTION
 Automation in cutting operation.
 System revolves around job(pipe) circumferentially
 Motor use in system to revolve around it.
 Varying speed of motor & concentration of flame to cut
different thicknesses of job.
 The whole system become potable & light weight.
 NEW PARTS USED IN SYSTEM
 Drive Chain  Driving Motor
 Wing Nut  Sprocket
 Spring
 Guide Wheels  Base Plate
 Lead Screw  Saddle
 Pillars
WORKING
 ADVANTAGES
 Fast Process
 Reduced Fatigue of Worker
 Less Skilled Required & Less Labour Cost
 Compact Size
 Economical Process
 APPLICATION
 This machine can be used almost in all types of industries.
 This machine is mainly used in fabrication oriented
industries.
 This machine can be used where cutting of large diameter
metal pipes is required.
 CONCLUSION
 The auto gas pipe cutting machine is designed taking in
account of currently available components in the market.
 The project can go beyond its current position and capabilities
by employing automation into it.
 This can be done by using DC geared motor.
 The use of this machine increases production rate, workers
safety in gas pipe cutting operation.
 FUTURE SCOPE
 By using sensors for automatic stopping of machine after
performing the cutting operation the accuracy of machine can
be increased also possible chances of accident at the time of
shut down the machine can be eliminated significantly.
 By using specially manufactured light weight alloys the
weight of machine can be reduced which in terms increases
the efficiency of the machine.
 Use of adjustable chain can make use of machine very
convenient over metal pipes of different diameters.
 Endless efforts can be made to continuously improve
upon the pipe cutting systems. The use of automatic
pipe cutting concept would cut upon the cost and
labour involved in pipe cutting to a great extent.
