Advancing into new dimensions of tube end processing in connection with flexible tube production lines

Tube end processing in action

The tube end processing centre can be seamlessly connected to an existing longitudinal seam welding machine. A stand-alone version with manual tube infeed and discharge is also possible.

High-level efficiency
The transport system - in portal design - loads and unloads the processing stations in a simultaneous cycle. This guarantees the highest possible output, production reliability and product quality with the smalles possible space requirement.

Flexible use
The individual units can be designed as a single-sided machining system or as a double system, in order to be able to machine both tube ends simultaneously.

One special feature is the production of double-walled tubes, where the inner or outer tube is machined alternately.

Advantages:
Alternating production optimises the logistics process for manufacturing:

  • Minimised stocks
  • Highest level of delivery flexibility

Fields of application:

  • Expanding
  • Calibration
  • Beading
