QK1338 CNC Pipe Thread Lathe Machine Operational safety

The CNC pipe threading lathe is a specialized CNC lathe designed specifically for machining precision threads on pipe fittings and joints. 

Compared to ordinary CNC lathes or manual pipe threading lathes, it has the following outstanding advantages:

1. High thread machining accuracy and excellent consistency: The CNC system precisely controls the tool movement, completely eliminating the instability of manual operation, and can consistently machine precision threads that meet stringent standards such as API (American Petroleum Institute) and GB/T. This is crucial for ensuring the sealing and tensile strength of pipe connections.

2. Specialization and high efficiency: Dedicated cycle instructions: The CNC system has built-in fixed cycles (such as G92, G76) for pipe threads (such as trapezoidal threads and tapered threads), simplifying programming and greatly improving programming and machining efficiency.

High rigidity structure: The machine bed, spindle, and tool post are all reinforced to withstand greater cutting forces during pipe machining, ensuring stability and accuracy under heavy cutting.

Automated production: It can be easily integrated with automatic feeders, robotic arms, etc., to achieve automatic loading and unloading of pipe fittings, making it particularly suitable for mass production of oil pipes, casings, etc. 

3. Strong ability to process complex threads

It can easily process various taper threads, sealing threads, and threads with special profiles (such as domed and flat tops), which are difficult to achieve with conventional equipment.

4. Operational safety and low labor intensity

Fully enclosed or semi-enclosed protective devices effectively prevent splashing of cutting fluid and chips, ensuring operator safety. Automated processing also significantly reduces labor intensity.

CNC pipe threading machines are core equipment for pipe connection system manufacturing, primarily used in the following areas:

1. Oil and Gas Industry (Core Application)

Oil pipes, casing, and drill pipe: Processing API threads (such as API 5B standard) on both ends is its most widespread and important application.

Pipe couplings and fittings: Processing various precision threads for connecting pipes.

Drill collars and kelly: Processing threads on oil drilling tools.

2. Construction Machinery and Hydraulic Systems: Processing high-pressure threads for hydraulic cylinders and hydraulic pipe joints on equipment such as excavators and cranes.

3. Chemical and Energy Equipment: Processing threads for various reactors, pressure vessels, and piping system connectors.

4. Shipbuilding: Processing threads for fuel and lubricating oil pipes for marine engines, as well as joints in various ship piping systems.
