    A glass tube cutter is a tool or machine (tube cutter) specially used to cut glass tubes. Its main function is to process glass machinery and is widely used in glass packaging, laboratory instruments, pharmaceutical production and other fields.
    Manual cutting mainly uses physical principles to mark the position to be cut on the glass tube, then use a file or grinding wheel to cut out scratches, and finally apply pressure to the scratches to disconnect the glass tube. The glass tube cutter is different. In addition to setting the position parameters in advance for automatic operation, the machine equipment also adds a fire head to heat the cut evenly and neatly to disconnect the glass tube. Some machines also add a burner at the tail to smooth the edge of the finished glass to achieve a beautiful effect.  Tube cutting machines are divided into semi-automatic and fully automatic types, and customers can choose according to their needs. Now let's talk about the fully automatic tube cutter, hoping to help friends in need.
    The fully automatic glass tube cutter mainly includes: sliding black, positioning device, motor, chain, roller, slice, control panel, cylinder and fire head. The operation process is as follows:

    1. Connect oxygen, gas, compressed air and power supply;

    2. Open the control panel and adjust the positioning device, cutting time, burning time and motor speed according to product requirements;

    3. Put the long glass tube to be cut in the middle of the two sets of rollers, start the switch, ignite and set the size of the flame;

    4. The machine starts to work automatically, the glass tube rotates evenly driven by the rollers, and the slider automatically moves to the right side of the glass tube. At this time, the blade automatically cuts out the scratch marks while the upper fire head automatically burns the glass at the scratches. Finally, the glass tube automatically disconnects neatly to complete the cutting work;

    5. The operator wears safety equipment to take away the cut glass tube and continue to cut the lower part until all the cutting is completed.
    This machine avoids a series of problems such as uneven cutting and broken cutting, accurately cuts the required length of glass tube, and improves the overall output of glass cutting. The control system of the machine screen can set programs for different product requirements to complete automatic cutting, making the machine operation simpler and meeting the needs of different customers. More convenient than manual cutting. In short, the glass tube cutting machine is efficient, safe, accurate and easy to operate, adding strength to the glass products industry.
