Development of the Automatic Fin Tube Cutting Machine
This study was to develop the automatic fin tube cutting machine, equipped with semi-automatic supplying board, automatic transfer equipment, fin tube holder, and cutting equipment assembly for the effective and safe fin tube cutting. The development of the automatic fin tube cutting machine resulted in improving 150% of productivity, 300% of cutting length precision, and 230% of a vertical angle precision on the cutting plane. In addition, we were able to secure safety of the workers and to automate production management, and further to reduce environmental pollution by recycling cutting chips.
