Abstract
An inventive tube cutting apparatus includes spaced plates which allow modular mounting of the main components of the tube cutting apparatus. The various components can be replaced and matched with other components by either changing the position that the components are mounted on the plates, or replacing the plates. An accelerator utilizes an eccentric connection to a rotary motor to provide a relatively simple drive for the die set. In an alternative accelerator, a steel belt is reversibly rotated and is fixed to drive the die set. In a powerhead assembly for actuating the die set, a pair of spaced shafts are connected through two offset links to synchronize the shafts, and maintain parallelism of the ram as it is forced downwardly into the die set.
