Rotating Head Cut-Off Machine
Why a Rotating Head?
The Bardons & Oliver Rotating Head Machine holds the material stationary while the cutting tools rotate providing numerous advantages over the typical cut-off lathe that must rotate the material being processed. |
|
- NO spindle drives required to start and stop rotation of large bars and heavy wall tubes
- NO whipping and bouncing of small diameter materials
- NO pounding of material handling equipment and bar feeders caused by imperfect tubes, bars, or hot-rolled material
- Eliminates any marking on the O.D. surface of material being processed
- Produces a much quieter environment
- Reduces maintenance of material handling equipment
- Allows faster loading of material

Cut and Chamfer Together
During the cutting operation, workholding devices on the Rotating Head Machine firmly grip both the incoming bar being processed and the finished workpiece being produced. This allows operations to be performed on the back side of the finished workpiece.
- Handles cutting and chamfering simultaneously by dedicating two tools to cutting and one tool to O.D. and/or I.D. chamfering
- Produces finished parts with smooth, high quality machined surfaces and chamfers on both sides of the workpiece in one operation
More Cutting Capacity
The key to success in high volume cutting is square inches per minute hour after hour, day in and day out.
Experience a dramatic increase in cutting productivity that only the Bardons & Oliver Rotating Head Machine can deliver.
- Uses up to four cutting tools simultaneously
- Controls process times by providing constant feed rate with load monitoring
- Minimizes non-cut time by tailoring material handling equipment to the process
