Abstract

Pipe cutting tool (1) comprising a stationary knife (12) fixed in a first plane to a frame (11), and a translatable knife (14) which can be slidably moved along knife translation paths (113) arranged in a second plane of said frame (11), wherein the knives (12, 14) and the frame (11) delimit a central frame aperture (114), as the frame aperture (114) forms a passageway for a pipe (2) to be cut, the translatable knife (14) being arranged diametrically opposite the stationary knife (12), the knives (12, 14) having curved knives edges (121, 141) with a curvature smaller or equal to a nearby section of an inner pipe wall (24) of the pipe (2) to be cut, each of the knives (12, 14) covering a sector of up to 180°, each of the curved knives edges (121, 141) being limited by lateral edges (123, 143) having a direction deviating from adjacent sections of the curved knives edges (121, 141), and the translatable knife (14) is connected to the frame (11) via e linear actuator system (16).
