What Makes the Watts W-604 6 Axis Plasma Pipe Cutter Unique
The Watts Specialties W-604 is a powerful CNC pipe cutting and profiling machine capable of precisely handling large-diameter pipe. This model features a robust 6-axis profiling carriage and is operated using the sophisticated 3D-Profile Plus software. With this machine, fabricators can perform complex cuts and bevels on round steel pipe ranging from 4″ to 60″ in outer diameter, mounted on a 20′ to 50′ machine bed that supports up to 1,500 lbs. per foot up to a maximum of 30,000 to 50,000 lbs.
Advantages of Using the W-604 6 Axis Plasma Pipe Cutter
Precision and Smooth Beveled Cuts
The W-604 utilizes simultaneous motion technology to maintain accurate torch positioning along and perpendicular to the pipe’s linear axis. Simultaneous motion also keeps the pipe position perpendicular to the linear axis to perform beveled holes and end cuts. The machine also uses W-Series software for precise cuts and smooth, beveled edges, which saves time and materials over time.
Increased Productivity and Efficiency
The combination of fast, clean cuts and the powerful 3D-Profile Plus software results in remarkable productivity improvements. Measuring, marking, and setup tasks are almost non-existent. Operators can execute multiple cuts, nested cuts, and optimized material usage, all while keeping track of job progress in real-time.
Robust Performance and Heavy-Duty Support
Designed to handle heavy industrial work, the W-604 Plasma Pipe cutter conveys and rotates large pipes along a precision-machined and hardened track. It includes a floating pipe clamp with a locking mechanism to ensure accurate pipe rotation, eliminating pipe walk and increasing cutting accuracy.
3-D Profile Plus Software
3-D Profile Plus Software enables at-machine and remote pipe cut programming and job management. This software simplifies the importing, design, and nesting of parts. It streamlines job estimates, inventory management, and scheduling, allowing real-time job tracking. This software adds tremendous capability and efficiency for multiple cuts, nested cuts, and material usage.
Advanced Pipe Handling Capabilities
This machine has a hydraulically controlled lift deck, a powered conveyor, and hydraulically actuated off-loader arms to streamline the material handling. These features enhance the safety and speed of your workflow, allowing your fabrication team to focus on precision work.
