Year of construction: 2017, condition: excellent (used), Pipe cutting system with optical laser marking detection The FZH Vario Flex is a fully automated pipe cutting system. It is specifically designed for the precise and reliable cutting of stainless steel pipes (e.g., for fuel, brake, air conditioning, or hydraulic lines). The system features optical laser marking detection. The control panel allows you to choose whether the cut is triggered mechanically (e.g., on the back of a union nut) or fully automatically via the optical detection of a laser marking applied to the pipe. Thanks to the integrated rotating 3-jaw cutting head and a micro-spraying unit (minimum quantity lubrication), the processing is extremely tool-friendly. The pipes remain almost completely dry and free of coarse contamination. The entire process, from loading to clamping, cutting, and unloading, is highly automated and carried out in a material-saving cycle. Fully integrated labeling & traceability system: The system is designed for modern quality standards (Industry 4.0 / Automotive). After the cutting process, the barcode label is automatically generated, assigned, and printed for complete part traceability (traceability & system logging directly integrated). Due to two separate box output stations (rear sluices with sliding doors), the system automatically switches to the second station when a box is full. The removal of the finished KLT boxes takes place in parallel with the main operating time without machine downtime. Advantages of the Vario cutting head series compared to conventional cutting methods Gedpfx Aozw Ukcoqgjuh Shortest changeover times in non-cutting separation Material-saving and free of contaminants Chip-free Easy to maintain No cooling and lubricating agents required Short processing times Cuts all common materials Can be combined with common pipe magazines or from a coil Special designs are possible Technical data & capacities Maximum pipe length (feed): 1,000 mm Material specification: Optimized for stainless steel pipes (also with pre-assembled union nuts or crimped ends) Sensors & positioning: Optical sensors for the automatic detection of laser markings on the workpiece Feed system: Automatic drum magazine / vertical disc feed (for manual or automatic loading) Length adjustment: Manually adjustable to different pipe lengths using a mechanical handwheel Cutting method: Chip-removing sawing / Rotating cutting head with three-jaw clamping and cutting mechanism (up to 600 rpm) Coolant system: Integrated micro-spraying unit (MMS) for minimum quantity lubrication Control: Siemens SIMATIC HMI industrial PC with TFT monitor, keyboard and mouse Setup operation: Mobile Siemens Teach-In terminal for manual axis configuration and position storage Integrated labeling and barcode printing system Enclosure: Aluminum profile system with safety polycarbonate windows Logistics / output Integrated box placement station 2 separate box output stations for rear removal via protected sluice systems with sliding doors Suitable for standardized KLT containers (600x400 mm and 400x300 mm) Manufacturer: FZH Engineering GmbH Type / Platform: Vario Flex Year of manufacture: 2017 Material: Stainless steel Cutting head: Vario flex Special features: Pipes with union nuts Diameter Ø 6-76 mm Output length L = 150-1,000 mm Separation based on laser marking Wall thicknesses: 1 to 1.3 mm Condition: The system is in excellent optical and mechanical condition.
