FZH Engineering GmbH Vario Flex

Pipe cutting system with optical laser marking detection
Guedezw Ukcepfx Agljh
The FZH Vario Flex is a fully automated pipe cutting system.
It is specifically designed for the precise and reliable cutting of stainless steel pipes (e.g., for fuel, brake, air conditioning, or hydraulic lines).
The system features optical laser marking detection.
The control panel allows you to choose whether the cut is triggered mechanically (e.g., on the back of a union nut) or fully automatically via the optical detection of a laser marking applied to the pipe.
Thanks to the integrated rotating 3-jaw cutting head and a micro-spraying unit (minimum quantity lubrication), the processing is extremely tool-friendly.
The pipes remain almost completely dry and free of coarse contamination.
The entire process, from loading to clamping, cutting, and unloading, is highly automated and carried out in a material-saving cycle.
Fully integrated labeling & traceability system: The system is designed for modern quality standards (Industry 4.0 / Automotive). After the cutting process, the barcode label is automatically generated, assigned, and printed for complete part traceability (traceability & system logging directly integrated).
Due to two separate box output stations (rear sluices with sliding doors), the system automatically switches to the second station when a box is full. The removal of the finished KLT boxes takes place in parallel with the main operating time without machine downtime.

Advantages of the Vario cutting head series compared to conventional cutting methods

Shortest changeover times in non-cutting separation
Material-saving and free of contaminants
Chip-free
Easy to maintain
No cooling and lubricating agents required
Short processing times
Cuts all common materials
Can be combined with common pipe magazines or from a coil
Special designs are possible
