Key benefits

• Market leading performance during production in terms of speed coupled with ease of set up and maintenance ensures optimum productivity.
• Maintaining tension between each set of forming rolls to ensure good tube quality achieved by individual motorization of each roll forming shaft.
• Advanced electronics control motor torque to ensure uniform stress on the material allowing operators high flexibility to adjust parameters to ensure increased pipe quality.
• Strip joining benches including:
  • Entry guide system
  • Pinch system
  • Welding Torch
  • Milling system for the welding seam
  • Exit Guide
• Strip accumulators to ensure that the machine can continue to run once a strip coil has completed and while leading edge of the new strip coil is being welded to the trailing edge of the completed coil.
• Various cut-off units including stationary, orbital and flying shear options with single or multiple cutting blades dependant on speed requirements and product parameters.
• Machine layout can be configured to specific factory dimensions.
