1. CNC-PIPE System Instruction
1.1 Module Brief Introduction
F2000X module is the pipeline cutting software function module based on the F2000/F7000
model digital control system produced by our company. Digital control system with F2000X
module function can process various pipeline part. This function is based on the mature F2000
system, so this system is stable and reliable, easy to operate. The user can rapidly cut pipeline
based on the initial operation.
This module can be applied to all F2000/F7000 series controller from our company, facing
to different machine tool, various mating controller selection available.
Tu b e / P l a t e function auto switch.
1.2 Module Function
Supporting 2 axes cutting tube machine with chuck mode.
Supporting 2 axes cutting tube machine with friction disk mode.
Supporting tube and plate all-in-one (chuck mode) cutting machine.
Supporting tube and plate all-in-one (friction disk mode) cutting machine.
Tube part processing with arbitrary tube’s diameter.
Tube part telos cutting off function, can arbitrarily set inclined cutting angle.
Tube with equal radius process function (V-shaped saddle).
Tube part telos slotting function can arbitrarily set slotting size and angle.
Mitrer elbow cutting, can set pitch number, angle of bend.
Saddle cutting, can arbitrarily set inclined angle.
Eccentric saddle cutting.
Main tube trepanning cutting, can mate with riding-type or plug-in branch pipe.
Arbitrary shape trepanning cutting, can design profile hole by CAD.

Fig 2.1 Tube/plate cutting main Interface
After use tube/plate cutting module, controller’s main interface is different from common
version. The primary items are:
The end of controller’s model adds a “X”, for an example: “F7500X”.
Add the display of cutting diameter, for an example: “D:160.00”. It interprets that diameter
is 160 mm.
But in the cutting plate interface, except the difference of controller model, the other items
are the same to common model. It is shown as figure 2.2:

Chapter 3 Tube/plate All-in-one System
Fig 3.1 Tube/plate all-in-one system controller topology Schematic
As the above figure shows, the signal of X Axis is used for controlling cart ’s motor; the
signal of Y Axis is used for controlling chuck’s or trolley’s motor.
At the same time, only one of the chuck’s and trolley’s motor is always enable(Using the
tube/plate switch signal by the system outputs).

Chapter 5 Code Explanation
5.1 Code Symbol
Cutting tube program code is the same as cutting plate code, between which the difference
is as following:
Using Letters and Units:
X: cart’s axis, unit(mm)
Y: chuck(trolley in the mode of cutting plate), unit(°)
(When don’t use chuck, unit(mm))
Diameter Code
There is one line code in the front of the code of cutting tube as
following(obligatory):(D=168),It interprets that the tube’s diameter is 168 mm in this cutting
program.
Wall Thickness Code
There is one line code in the cutting tube code as following(omissible): (T=8)
It interprets that the tube’s wall thickness is 8 mm in this cutting program.
Annotation
The content contained within parentheses in the tube cutting program is annotation.
Besides diameter annotation code, the rest annotations can all be neglected.
