With more than thirty years of experience within the hose and tube processing equipment industry, OP is proud to introduce our newest prideful leader of the vast OP Hose saw product line. The model we have developed in response to the voice of our customers has been crowned OP's TF6. This new saw is ideal for cutting hydraulic and industrial hoses with a capacity of up to a max diameter of 160 mm (6.299").
TF6 is designed to make cutting hose easy for the operator while still being suitable for cutting big spiral hoses and in series.
Thanks to the machines strong structure which is typical of all OP machines, it can withstand the high vibrations caused by the cutting process.
TF6 is provided with a 11 kW self-braking motor, electric control by pedal, fume extractor connection, drawer for internal cleaning and self-centering system allowing the proper positioning of the hose during the cutting process. The cutting blade is a 650 mm diameter and is contained in a specific area concealed away from the rest of the machine; the cutting area is secured by a metallic protection device for the operator's safety.
The machine is controlled by a PLC with 7" colour touch screen that gives the opportunity to create and save recipes, setting the hose diameter. This is the key feature allowing the saw to function in a fast forward phase and a slow cutting phase, depending on the hose being cut - The saws ability to select the optimal cutting speed saves both production time and blade life!
The TF6 can be supplied with many options upon request such as fume extractor, blowing kit to clean the hose during the cutting phase, measuring hose holder and centring device with meter counter (mm or inches). The software already includes the stroke counter. If required, it can also be supplied with any special voltage.
