Design of a Microcomputer for Controlling a Servo System for Cutting Steel Pipes

This paper deals with the problem of automatic regulation of cutting steel pipes and profiles. The process of making steel pipes and profiles starts from the steel strip by shaping in the forming section, induced longitudinal welding, and finally cutting. It is necessary to cut to a pre-selected length while in motion, which does not disturb the process of continuous operation of the production line. The existing cutting system created problems in the accuracy of product cutting lengths, insufficient synchronization of cutting tools and products, etc. After identifying the problem and analyzing the system, the design of a microcomputer-based control system was initiated to ensure precise regulation of the product cutting process, the final stage of the technical line for seam pipe production.
