Head cutting machine
The Head Cutting Machine—also called a mobile saddle hole CNC cutting system—is engineered for precision machining of tank heads used in pressure vessels and industrial containers. It delivers stable cutting performance for oval heads, butterfly heads, spherical crown heads, and other customized dish-end geometries.
Designed for manufacturers demanding long-term reliability and high efficiency, this machine offers superior control, safety, and flexibility across diverse production environments.
Product Overview
The head cutting machine is specifically developed for cutting end faces, weld bevels, grooves, and saddle holes on metal heads. Its integrated rotary table, gas cutting mechanism, and advanced electrical control cabinet ensure consistent accuracy with minimal operator effort.
Key Advantages
- Simple operation and easy to learn
- High cutting efficiency with stable rotation
- Extremely low energy consumption
- Safe and reliable with emergency stop features
- Ideal for pressure vessel manufacturers of all sizes
Work Features
1. Stepless Speed Regulation
The variable-speed control system allows smooth adjustment for different cutting requirements,ensuring better process stability and easier maintenance.
2. Fast Workpiece Adjustment
When positioning the head on the working table, the operator simply releases the selector handle and rotates the table easily, improving setup speed and productivity.
3. Dual Control: Cabinet + Remote Control
The machine supports operation both through the main electrical cabinet and the handheld remote box. The rotary table can rotate clockwise or counterclockwise based on cutting needs.
System Structure
Rotary Table System
The system includes a table platform, mechanical base, turning mechanism, and self-locking transmission structure. The transmission route is: Motor → Two-stage reducer → Rotary table.
Electrical Control System
The electrical cabinet contains a frequency converter, contactors, fuses, control transformer, and protective modules to ensure safe and stable operation.
If rotation direction is incorrect, the machine will automatically limit the angle to prevent equipment damage.
Lubrication System
The worm gear reducer uses lubricating oil, while adjustment mechanisms and bearings use grease. Lubrication must be replaced regularly for optimal performance.
