Abstract
A mandrel apparatus for a tube cutting machine in which the mandrel apparatus is moved into the open end of the tubing advancing along the feed axis of the tubing as the tubing is moved by the feed means into a cutting position. The mandrel apparatus includes a stop member which is mounted for movement between a stop position in which it is positioned across the tube feed path at a location along the feed axis between a rest position of the mandrel and the cutting station and a clear position in which it is pivoted upwardly clear of the feed path. The mandrel apparatus further includes a stripper member having a stripper surface positioned along the feed axis across the feed path between the stop position of the stop member and the rest position of the mandrel. As the tubing is advanced along the feed axis, the mandrel assembly is moved in the opposite direction along the feed axis to pass the mandrel into the advancing open end of the tubing and move the mandrel to the cutting plane within the tubing whereafter, following cutting of the tubing and movement of the stop member to its clear position, the mandrel assembly is moved toward its rest position to move the trailing edge of the cut tubing clear of the cutting station and move the leading edge of the cut tubing against the stripper surface and strip the cut tubing from the mandrel assembly.
