PVC Pipe Slotting Machine

JK4012HD

Dual Head PVC Screen Slotting Machine

The JK4012HD is a heavy duty machine for 4″-12″ PVC pipe in 20′ lengths or less.  This machine is designed to handle larger, heavier pipe sizes, such as 10″ and 12″ sch80.

JK4012HD Features:

• 460 volt 3 phase 50 or 60 Hz incoming power with control circuits transformed down to 110 volt AC and 24 volt DC.


• Two 15hp 220/440 volt 60 Hz 3 phase slotting motors.


Designed with a cable track and mount connected from indexer to main slotting frame which will carry control wires and air supply.

Slotting Shaft

The JK4012HD slotting shafts are designed to hold 10” of saws per segment of slots.  The two slotting saw shafts are equipped with special built vacuum shrouds with 6” hose connections. The JK4012HD is equipped with down draft vacuum fixtures for better dust collection and will require connection to a dust collection system.  J&K Tool can provide options for a collection system.

The JK4012HD main machine and slotting assembly is stationary.  For this reason, the machine is equipped with a traveling automatic pipe indexer.  Pipe indexing is done with a high torque closed loop stepper motor system designed with higher turning torque to handle 10” and 12” heavy wall SDR 17 or Sch 80 PVC pipe in 20’ lengths.

Precision built slotting shafts
by J&K Tool Co.

All slotting saw shafts are made out of C1144 stress proof steel on a precision CNC lathe by J&K Tool Company.  Shafts are turned to the closest tolerance possible and turn true at high RPM.

Aluminum spacers are also made by J&K Tool Company on a precision CNC lathe.  Spacers are machined to be perfectly parallel and flat.

If the spacers are not perfectly parallel and machined within a very close tolerance, the slotter shaft will bend.

Features

Heavy Duty Machinery

The JK4012HD is a redesigned heavy duty version of the JK1012D.  This machine is equipped with two 15 hp slotting motor assemblies.

The 1.500” indexer drive shaft is designed to accommodate automatic air operated inside pipe holders.  Pipe moves through the machine with the traveling pipe indexer.  The travel system runs with a high torque closed loop stepper motor system.  This automatic indexer is designed to operate in both directions, either pushing or pulling the pipe through the machine.

Pipe indexing for row stops and indexer travel distance will be monitored and set with an Panasonic Touch Screen.  The touch screen is used to set the amount of rows to be slotted, display the active row, set and display the travel distance per segment of slots, display cycle time for each screen, and display the running total of screens (slotted pipe) that have run through the machine.

Slotting Speeds for JK4012HD

4″ or 5″ PVC Pipe with 4 rows, 10′ length, travel 10″ = 4.3 minutes
4″ or 5″ PVC Pipe with 4 rows, 20′ length, travel 10″ = 6.17 minutes

Slotting times vary depending upon number of rows, thickness of spacers, thickness of pipe, number of saw blades and blade thickness.

Vacuum Fixtures

The JK4012HD is equipped with down draft vacuum fixtures for better dust collection and will require connection to a dust collection system.  J&K Tool can provide options for a collection system.
