Tube Cutting System

RTH3L
RTH2S

RTH Long

The tube to be cut is fed by the operator through the sheering tool onto the mandrel bar and pushed back against the length stop. A micro switch in the length stop is activated and the tube is cut. This process can be repeated continuously.

RTH Short

The tube to be cut is inserted into the shearing hole and over the mandrel bar until contact is made with the length stop. After the cutting operation, the mandrel together with the length stop is pulled out of the shear bushing. Once the cut off piece is outside the tool, it is stripped off from the mandrel by means of a top sleeve.
