Cut welded tube to the required finished length as it leaves the ERW line. XFX can discuss a cold saw or hot friction saw for a new line, or review a replacement for your current cutting machine.
Tube size, matching wall thickness, material, speed and tube-end needs determine the project discussion. No cutting method is assumed for every line.

01 / CUTTING ON THE LINE
Turn continuous production into finished lengths.
In an ERW tube mill, the cutting section cuts welded tube to the required length after forming, welding, sizing and cooling. Its arrangement needs to work with the intended tube list and the rest of the production line.
The current XFX product family covers both cold saw and hot friction saw. The choice is a project decision, including the required tube-end result, length control, production speed and budget.
02 / CUTTING METHOD
Cold saw or hot friction saw?
XFX offers both methods. The choice depends on your tube schedule and cutting requirements; neither method is assumed to suit every project.
COLD SAW
Review when tube-end finish matters.
A cold saw may be selected when buyers prioritize a cleaner cut surface, better length control and less heat influence at the tube end.
Discuss: desired end quality and finished length alongside size, wall thickness, material and line speed.
HOT FRICTION SAW
Review for a practical cutting arrangement.
A hot friction saw may suit certain tube sizes and production speeds where practical production requirements and budget matter.
Discuss: the same tube schedule, speed, length and end-quality targets before choosing the method.
Ask for the proposed machine's cut-length tolerance, blade or cutting-tool scope and supported tracking speed in the project quotation.
03 / TECHNICAL REVIEW
Define the cutting-machine configuration.
Discuss the cutting method and your production requirements together. Exact performance and utility values must be confirmed for the proposed machine.
01
Tube schedule
Round, square or rectangular shape; each exact size and corresponding wall thickness; material or steel grade.
02
Production target
Intended line speed or output, required finished lengths and any downstream fabrication needs.
03
Cutting result
Required tube-end finish and length tolerance as project targets. Request the proposed machine's supported values in the quotation.
04
Line interface
Confirm controls, tracking or synchronization, electrical supply and discharge arrangement for the line.
“Flying saw” may describe an existing in-line cutting machine. Its name alone does not tell us whether a cold or hot friction cutting method fits your project; send its model and control information for review.
04 / TWO BUYER SITUATIONS
What information should you send?
Start with the details you already have. XFX can identify missing information before confirming a cutting-system proposal.
NEW ERW LINE
Send tube specifications
Tube shape, every exact size and matching wall thickness
Material or steel grade
Target speed or output and finished tube length
Required tube-end quality and downstream use, if known
Current tube mill model and cutting-machine type, brand or model
Tube sizes, paired wall thicknesses and current speed
Current finished lengths and electrical supply
Available tracking/control information and machine photos
Installation-position photos and the problem or upgrade goal
Compatibility and interfaces must be checked before a replacement is confirmed.
05 / QUOTATION SCOPE
Compare the machine and its interfaces.
A cutting-machine proposal should state exactly what is included, excluded or separately offered for the project.
Machine & methodCold or hot friction saw; proposed model and cutting arrangement.
Tracking & controlsHow the machine is synchronized with the running tube mill.
Cutting tools & guardingBlade or tool scope, guarding and spare-parts provision.
Line integrationDischarge/run-out interface, utilities, commissioning and training.
These are quotation checks, not a claim that every item is included with every saw.
06 / RELATED EQUIPMENT
Review the cutting section with the line.
The saw, welding equipment and finished-tube handling should be discussed as connected parts of the project; their final supply scopes remain separate.
XFX has its own factory in China. We can provide on-site installation and commissioning, operator training, remote technical support, operation and maintenance documents, and spare-parts support.
Service details remain project-specific. For overseas installation, the customer is responsible for installation personnel's visas, international travel, accommodation, meals and wages during the installation period.
It cuts continuously produced ERW tube into the required finished lengths after the forming, welding, sizing and cooling stages.
What is the difference between cold saw and hot friction saw?
XFX's existing listing associates cold saw with a cleaner cut surface, length control and less heat influence at the end. It presents hot friction saw as a practical option for suitable production requirements. Selection still depends on the tube schedule, speed, end-quality target and budget.
Can XFX discuss a replacement for my existing flying saw?
Yes. Send the existing mill and saw model, tube schedule, current speed, control information and photos. Compatibility and installation interfaces must be checked before a replacement is confirmed.
Is a cutting saw automatically included with a tube mill?
Do not assume a fixed package. The proposal should identify the cutting type and what machine, tools, controls and services are included or excluded.
What support can XFX provide?
XFX can provide on-site installation and commissioning, operator training, remote technical support, operation and maintenance documents, and spare-parts support. The project proposal confirms the service details.
09 / DISCUSS YOUR CUTTING SYSTEM
Send your tube and cutting requirements.
For a new line, share exact sizes with matching wall thicknesses, material, speed, finished length and end-quality goal. For a replacement, add your current saw and line details. Partial information is welcome.
