Machine Description

Using the profiling unit, a stainless steel strip from a coil is formed into a tube by passing through seven profiling stations.

The continuously profiled tube is welded in the welding chamber using a continuous TIG welding process. The torch tracking system detects changes in the position of the material joint relative to the welding arc and automatically corrects the torch position during welding.

A measuring wheel mounted on the continuously moving tube continuously measures the tube speed and records the produced length. A double straightening device eliminates residual curvature during the continuous production process.

The Flex cutting unit continuously cuts the finished tube and transfers it to a sorting rail, where tubes are separated according to whether they meet the required quality criteria.

Two deburring stations deburr the tube ends. An automatic length measurement system measures each finished tube before it is transferred into the collection box.

The complete tube forming and welding system is fully functional and can be inspected while in operation.
