Direct Forming Tube Mills
Direct Forming Tube Mills are specialized manufacturing systems used for producing welded tubes and pipes from flat metal strips. These mills operate by continuously feeding a strip into a series of rollers that gradually shape it into a cylindrical form. The edges of the strip are then welded together, typically using high-frequency induction or laser welding techniques.
This process allows for high production rates and precise dimensional control, making Direct Forming Tube Mills ideal for applications in industries such as construction, automotive, and energy. They can accommodate various materials and sizes, enabling flexibility in production.
The Direct Forming Process
ADVANTAGES
- No Rolls Change needed for any Tube size within the Mill range. Only one set of rolls for the full size range.
- Very Quick Changeover time. Automatic rolls adjustment. Enabling Just-In-Time Manufacturing
- Square and rectangular Tubes Only
