Tube cutting device ang method thereof

Abstract

A tube cutting device and method thereof are disclosed, which are adapted for performing a remote tube cutting operation upon a tube. The tube cutting device is comprised of: a holding unit; a cutting unit; and a control unit, connected to the holding unit and the cutting unit in a remote manner; wherein, the control unit is capable of directing the holding unit to hold and move a tube to a specific position and thereafter directing the cutting unit to perform a cutting operation upon the tube. With the aforesaid tube cutting device, an operator operating the tube cutting device can perform an cutting operation upon the tube remotely without having to contact directly with the tube, and thus the operator is prevented from having to stay in a working environment containing hazardous materials, such as radioactive pollutants, gas/liquid with strong acid or alkali, etc., so that the safety of the tube cutting operation can be enhanced. In addition, as the tube cutting device is simple in structure, the manufacturing cost thereof is comparatively low but still possess high cutting efficiency.
