High speed tube straightening
Once again, the proven Bültmann 10-roll tube straightening machine technology
has been able to impress. A 10-roll tube straightening machine, type RRM 10/060, was recently successfully accepted by a Jap- anese customer as part of a fully automatic straightening line including coil feeding, separation and discharge. The equipment processes seamless steel tubes in the size range Ø 15 - 60 mm with lengths of up to 7.5 m. In addition to the straightness < 0.1 mm/m, the challenge with this application
was the extremely high throughput rates and very short cycle times < 3.0 s. This requirement could be met with straight- ening speeds of up to 180 m/min in con- junction with reduced non-productive times. Consistent process optimization was required here, which was implemented through the targeted use of IBA Analyzer technology. In addition to the high product quality, the advantage for our customer lies in the elimination of two old machines and the associated logistics and labor costs.
